Your experience

    I look forward to welcoming you to my home, just outside Bergamo, where I will teach you how to prepare traditional Polenta Taragna with local cheeses in a classic copper pot. We'll pair it with delicious Bergamasco salami and spinach with Parmesan. While the polenta cooks, we’ll prepare the cheese to add to it, and I'll show you how to make tasty appetizers with a chicken and lettuce sauce, which we'll enjoy as a starter. To finish, there will be dessert, coffee... and a digestif!

    Our experience with Alessandro was everything we had hoped for and more, he was very accommodating and very knowledgeable about the dishes we cooked and the regional differences in Italian cuisine. We felt like welcomed guests in his home, we had an unforgettable Christmas Eve experience! Grazie mille, Alessandro!

    It's such a fabulous and unforgettable experience that I very excitedly share it with my friends and family! This activity is highly recommended if you would like to experience something local as a tourist. Mr. Alessandro is such a great host, from picking me up at the meet up point and drop me off to a different nearby place which I wanted to go. His hospitability make me feel so comfortable and welcomed to have a cooking session at his home. He patiently explained and answered all the questions that I have. I have had a few polenta dishes in Italy during my trip. I still feel that his recipe is the best that I had tried so far.

    My name is Alessandro Carlini, I was born in Milan in 1961 to parents from Emilia. My father was originally from Sestola, a mountain village in the province of Modena, and he taught me how to make Berlenghi, a typical specialty from that part of the Apennines. These are very thin crêpes made from a simple, liquid batter consisting of water, flour, and salt, which is called "colla." Another specialty from the Modenese Apennines is Crescentine (better known as Tigelle), a small, round type of bread, which, like Berlenghi, are traditionally served with Modenese pesto—a blend of lard, garlic, and rosemary, accompanied by Parmesan cheese. Alternatively, these dishes can be paired with cured meats, cheeses, vegetables, or Nutella for a sweet version.
