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

Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Hugo Bolognese with Pignoletto, elderflower syrup, water and/or sparkling water, lemon and/or rosemary and/or grapes.
  • Herb-flavoured potato gnocchi with soya ragù
  • Hummus made with seasonal vegetables, served with warm focaccia
  • Tiramisu with cream, coffee, biscuits and cocoa

Before the invention of fire, people didn’t eat much meat. And yet here we are! Whether you choose a vegetarian or vegan diet, it’s important to find the right balance between ingredients, without compromising on flavour. What’s more: we want to prepare dishes together using non-processed ingredients. The recipes are inspired by the tastes and curiosity of those taking part in my courses. Drawing on my experience with herbs, I’ll guide you through a world of incredible aromas! After a Bolognese-style Hugo, we’ll make egg-free gnocchi, just as they’ve been made for centuries, with borage, beetroot or pumpkin and a soya ragù. Then hummus made with peas, aubergines, pumpkin or beetroot, served with warm focaccia, and, to finish, tiramisu. What would you like to learn to make? Variations on the theme are always welcome, and there are loads of them! We’ll agree on the recipes together.

Kathy and Robert - 

We had a wonderful time in our class! They were wonderful hosts! We got to choose to make certain pasta dishes and then enjoy them on their wonderful back terrace in what is just a most beautiful and quaint neighborhood! We got to experience a piece of Bologna we never would have without them! Can not recommend this enough to anyone who is from beginner to food/cooking enthusiast! It was fun, informative, and delicious!

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.
