- Tiramisù
Bologna, a city famous worldwide for its tradition of fresh egg pasta! In this cooking class, we learn to make two types of pasta and dessert. We start with the preparation of the dough, starting from eggs and flour, then proceed with the art of the rolling pin. Once we have our sheet of pasta, we create different shapes: tagliatelle and tortelloni stuffed with ricotta and spinach. Let's discover together the secrets of each recipe and the curiosities about the tools of the trade. At the end of the course, everyone is seated at the table (in the garden during the good season) for a luncheon or dinner featuring fresh pasta, accompanied by excellent local wine, and it concludes with a classic: tiramisu. It will be a day dedicated to home cooking, tradition, and fun!

- We had a great time making pasta and tiramisu with Paola. She was extremely patient with our lack of cocking skills, spoke perfect English and told us lots of tricks that we can apply at home. Nonetheless, food was delicious, much better than what we tried in restaurants, so we can fully recommend the experience.
- Ho partecipato al corso di tortellini insieme a mia mamma e l'esperienza è stata davvero speciale. Non possiamo dire di essere rimaste entusiaste, ma di più! Paola ci ha accolte con calore e grande entusiasmo nella sua splendida casa, guidandoci passo dopo passo con molta pazienza e passione. È stata un'esperienza che ci ha coinvolto completamente e che consigliamo assolutamente a chiunque voglia vivere un momento autentico e divertente.
- What a lovely experience learning to make lasagna bolognese with Paola. After 4 weeks of travel, the day was like a breath of fresh air. Spending the day cooking and meeting a new friend. Sitting down in her beautiful table and having a home cooked meal was perfect. I learned a lot about local cuisine. I love how food is a great unifier across the world. We all enjoy the love & traditions conveyed in the kitchen. I intend to make this with my kids when we get home!! Perhaps a new holiday tradition for us now. Grazie Paola❣️
- Paola was such a great host and cook. She was so patient with us and taught us the right technique. She was also very nice to chat with and prepared a great meal for us after our lesson. Paola is a gem and I’d highly recommend her cooking class to anyone visiting Bologna!
- Paola è un'ottima cuoca e riesce a insegnare benissimo come cucinare, anche a me che non sono molto dotata! E anche un ottima padrona di casa. E stata la mia prima esperienza con le Cesarine e trovo l'idea sia fantastica. Abbiamo inoltre mangiato benissimo!
