  • Rice Savarin (traditional rice ring from Parma)
  • Tiramisu

My home is a small haven of cooking, plants, and peace. I invite you to join me in preparing an elegant and hearty dish: Savarin di Riso, a recipe with French origins that has become a true classic in Parma, inspired by the famous gastronome Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin.

I’ll have already prepared the marinated meat with herbs and spices following Artusi’s traditional recipe, while you’ll make with me a creamy Parmigiano risotto. We’ll pour it into Grandma Amelia’s mold, lined with the marinated meat, and finish it with small meatballs simmered in tomato sauce. A glass of Cabernet Sauvignon DOCG will pair perfectly with our dish, followed by a refreshing salad of fresh fruit and crunchy vegetables. We’ll end our meal with a homemade Tiramisù and, of course, a good Italian m

Eleonora & Federico were fabulous hosts making our cooking class very memorable. We can’t thank them enough for the warm hospitality we received. We enjoyed the class which was not only very informative but also relaxed. We can’t recommend Federico & Eleonora highly enough!! Again thank you so much Federico & Eleonora!!

What an absolute treat this was! This experience needs to be on the top of your list when in Bologna. Frederico and Eleonora we next level hosts. Right balance of history, local perspective on ingredients and educational cooking experience. When you are in their home you are not friends, you are family.

What a fun and tasty experience. Me and my family, including my partner and two teenage children had a wonderful time learning to prepared two pastas and desert from scratch. No better way to celebrate the history and culture of Bologna. Besides the good dinner, you won't find better company in the city than Eleonora and Federico. They gently pushed us beyond our limited cooking capabilities with equal parts expertise and encouragement. Couldn't recommend the experience more.

I had an amazing experience with Eleonora and Federico. I really enjoyed the cooking lesson as I learned a lot about cuisine techniques. We also had a lot of fun discussing about many topics (for instance our passion for food all around the world…). I 100% recommand this !

Eleonora e Federico

Cesarina from 2025Location: Bologna (BO)    Languages: Italian, English, Spanish, French
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.
