- Passatelli in broth, or a version with pippini or artichokes and crispy pancetta
- Braised pork cheek or cotechino with side dishes and salsa verde
- Mascarpone cream, amaretti and chocolate
Emilian cuisine is renowned for its conviviality, rich flavours and distinctive character. The typical winter weather, which is often damp and cold, makes one crave warm, hearty meals. In November, we celebrate the pig slaughter, an event that warms and fills the villages in my area with the aromas of tradition. Here is the menu I have prepared for you: passatelli, pork cheek or cotechino served with Emilian-style mashed potato enriched with Parmigiano Reggiano, stewed lentils and salsa verde. Alternatively, polenta can also be served. To finish, a spoon dessert made with mascarpone and amaretti. The whole meal will be accompanied by selected water and wine. I look forward to welcoming you on this journey into the heart of Emilian flavours.

- I didn't know about "Cesarine"—they gifted me this voucher for my birthday, and it was spot on, considering I've recently enjoyed cooking and trying new things. I got along well with Chiara and felt comfortable. Together we cooked erbazzone, where I was able to learn new things, as well as how to make gnocco. She answered all my questions competently and simply. We then ate what we cooked together with a good glass of wine. I'm happy with the experience and hope to return to learn more.
- Our cooking class with Chiara exceeded our expectations! We absolutely loved the entire experience and would highly recommend her class. Everything went perfect. As a host, Chiara made us feel comfortable and welcome as soon as we arrived and she did a great job of communicating with us before the class to ensure everything would go smoothly. As a teacher, Chiara was patient, fun, and incredibly helpful. She kept us well-informed through the whole cooking process and helped guide the way as we, complete amateurs, learned from a pro! The quality of the ingredients was top notch which made for absolutely delicious final products!!! Dinner wasn’t just great food, as we thoroughly enjoyed the company. Eating felt more like hanging out with friends rather than a classroom. This was a great benefit as it made us feel like we experienced an authentic piece of Italian culture. We also received plenty of great videos and photos from the experience! Please, do yourself a favor and take this class if you can!
