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

Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Tigelle
  • Local cured meats and cheeses

Together we will prepare tigelle, a dish that symbolises the mountain tradition of Emilia, simple but rich in flavour and conviviality. We will get our hands dirty and shape these small soft discs, which we will bake until they are fragrant on the outside and soft on the inside.

Once ready, the tigelle will be filled with typical, authentic ingredients: mortadella, ham and cheese, to create tasty and irresistible combinations. Light but flavourful, they are perfect for sharing around the table, accompanied by a good Lambrusco, fresh and sparkling, which enhances their flavours.

What an absolutely unforgettable experience my wife and I had in Bologna! We had the the most wonderful evening with and incredible mother and daughter duo who welcomed us into their beautiful home like we were part of the family. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, intimate, and filled with laughter, amazing food and flowing Lambrusco. We had so much fun learning how to make traditional Sfoglia by hand and turning it into several fresh pastas that we later enjoyed together for dinner. Every step felt authentic, personal, and full of love and tradition. They were so patient, kind, and passionate about sharing their family recipes and cooking techniques with us. We learned so much throughout the evening, and the recipes they shared are something are something we will truly treasure forever. We cannot wait to recreate all of the dishes including the incredible dessert once we get back home. This is an absolute must do experience in Bologna especially with this fantastic pair. If you want a genuine heartfelt, and delicious taste of Italian family culture, this is it. Grazie Mille for such a magical night we will never forget. Big Hug!

What an incredible experience. Beautiful home, beautiful family, and an unforgettable evening. They welcomed us warmly and even showed us how to cook traditional dishes, which made the experience so special and personal. The food was absolutely spectacular from beginning to end, and the dessert was outstanding. Beyond the amazing meal, their personalities and hospitality truly made the night memorable. Highly recommended and something we will never forget.

My wife and I had a great experience making pasta and eating it. We also made tiramisu. Catherina and her mother were wonderful hosts and were very patient. We had different levels of experience with pasta making and Catherina was very good in explaining and helping making both tagliatelle and tortoloni. They were very personable and it was a nice in-home experience. We highly recommend Catherina.

It was a warm and authentic cooking class. Caterina and her mother are very kind people. It felt like being at home. The best tagliatelle I have ever eaten.

Caterina

Cesarina from 2026Location: Bologna (BO)    Languages: Italian, English, French
My name is Caterina, and I’m from Bologna, with deep roots in the Apennine Mountains. Growing up surrounded by traditional recipes and mountain flavors, I learned the secrets of cooking from my great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother. Since I was little, making tigelle, crescentine, and tortellini, I discovered my passion for kneading and creating with my hands. Even my father taught me how to roll pasta, because in our family tradition is shared. Cooking has always been my refuge, a place of creativity and joy, even during university. Today, between my studies and cooking courses, I continue to nurture this passion. My dream is to open my kitchen to share my family’s flavors and the joy of tradition.
