Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
Live an authentic Apulian culinary experience! Knead and shape traditional orecchiette with your own hands, then prepare delicious meatballs to be cooked in a fragrant sauce, perfect for dressing the fresh pasta. While the sauce gently simmers, we’ll savor crispy friselle topped with juicy cherry tomatoes. The experience culminates in a tasting of our orecchiette and meatballs, perfectly paired with a glass of Primitivo di Manduria. A journey through the authentic flavors of Puglia that you’ll never forget!
I had the most wonderful experience at the Italian cooking class hosted by Deborah and Janette. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed into a warm and inviting space that instantly felt like home.
Both hosts were not only knowledgeable and passionate about Italian cuisine, but also genuinely interested in sharing stories and learning about each other’s cultures. It was such a joy to connect over delicious food and meaningful conversation.
The class struck the perfect balance between hands-on learning and relaxed enjoyment. I left with a full heart, new skills, and a deeper appreciation for the traditions behind the dishes we prepared. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and enriching culinary experience in Italy!

I highly recommend if you are in Bologna to take a cooking class with Deborah! It's more than learning to cook regional cuisine, you are also experiencing the true value of traveling—making connections. Deborah not only makes delicious food, but she is also warm and friendly. One can enjoy food (prepared with her guidance) while engaging in authentic, personable conversations.
If I am ever in Bologna again, I plan to take another class! 😃
