Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina

Shared Experience
Your experience

    I have been cooking since I was a child and have passed on my passion to my two daughters, who have been expert cooks since they were very young. I love the warmth of the kitchen: it is rewarding to surprise and delight guests with my gnocchi. Today, we are making them even more delicious with borage. But let's start with dessert, accompanied by a good local wine.

    For the gnocchi, we mash the still-steaming potatoes, chop the herbs, and knead the dough to form small loaves. We grate them with a grater, as Grandma Pina taught me. The sauce is irresistible: we toss them in creamy gorgonzola and add a touch of crispy prosciutto. Yes, you made it yourself! Not a restaurant. And to finish, a freshly baked tenerina.

    Eleonora and Federico were such fantastic and welcoming hosts! My wife and I learned so much and had an amazing time at their home. We’d highly recommend this cooking class to anyone visiting Bologna. This was one of the highlights of our trip!

    Eleonora and Federico were such gracious hosts, and gave us a truly unforgettable Italian/ Bolognese culinary experience. First of all, they have a truly warm, welcoming, and charming home—and an amazing kitchen that has all the essentials. They were great at balancing instruction with conversation, and it was not only a lesson but cultural exchange. The ingredients were top-tier, and they taught us easy-to-follow pasta-making technqiue. I also love that they take into consideration the seasonality when it comes to the menu they prepare. Overall, I would recommend this experience to anyone who finds themselves in Bologna and truly want to experience the best of Italian seasonal cooking first-hand.

    Thank you thank you thank you! We are still glowing over last night. Highlight of the trip. We spent the day walking around and (you will be surprised to hear this) eating more pasta. We love Bologna.

    We cook dishes from the Bolognese and Romagnola tradition, but we also love to be inspired by other cuisines, which make our table more lively and flavorful. Tradition is our certainty, imagination the means to reinvent it. In our kitchen, seasonality guides the senses, and the search for harmony on the plate is often a topic of discussion between us, as we have shared a passion for good food for forty years — a passion that started in a restaurant! We inherited our love for cooking from our families: Eleonora from her mother, a painter, and her grandmother, a passionate homemaker; Federico from his grandmother, a master of lasagna and crème caramel, his father in passatelli, and the “dada” in the world’s best roast beef. For ten years we ran a shop-laboratory in the center of Bologna, where tradition and creativity met under the porticoes amid aromas, chatter, and the curiosity of passersby and tourists.
