  • 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!

It was an amazing experience. Paola was funny and helpful and a great teacher. I would do her cooking class every week if I could. It was the best meal I had in Bologna. Thank you Paola. 💜🇮🇹

Paola delivered a super lesson. My daughter and I really enjoyed our time in Paola's home and the cookery lesson. She was very welcoming, informative and a wonderful Cesarine host. I would highly recommend the experience.

Paola was a gracious host from beginning to end. I got lucky and ended up being a private experience. Learned how to make tagliatelle and tortellini and tiramusu. Learned helpful tricks for rolling the dough and about transparency of it to know when ready. Friendly and useful to beginners and intermediate cooks. I can say hands down I left the experience with the biggest grin of self satisfaction making delicious food.

What a great experience! Paola was a wonderful hostess and a great teacher! She was very patient with us and accommodating to the different levels of cooking experience. Paola had a great sense of humor and had us all laughing and comfortable very quickly. It was a large group of 10 and she handled that very well. I highly recommend this experience!!

Paola, Gracie Mille for a welcoming us into your home and for a teaching us the art of tagliatelle and ragu like your grandmother used to prepare. We were honored to be guests in your home and will remember fondly spending time with you when we return to Virginia to practice the lessons you taught us. Ciao and fino alla proximal Volta.
