Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Hugo “Bolognese”. Pignoletto; elderflower syrup; water and/or sparkling water; lemon and/or lemon zest. A fantastic, wonderfully fragrant non-alcoholic aperitif
  • Potato gnocchi (with borage, beetroot or pumpkin). ‘Old’ potatoes and herbs to taste.
  • Soya ragù. Soya, celery, carrot, onion (and garlic) – we’ll make the soffritto together – wine and tomato. Get ready to cook.
  • Hummus. With beetroot, or pumpkin, or peas, or aubergines (baked). Delicious with warm focaccia.
  • Tiramisu With vegan cream, coffee, vegan biscuits and cocoa on top. Lots of delicious layers. It needs to chill for an hour: the first thing we’ll make

Nature and history teach us that vegan food has always been on our tables: we often don’t realise just how much ‘vegan’ there is around us. However, I prefer to create dishes with you using non-industrial ingredients, without ready-made mixes, for vegans. The dishes I propose here were chosen together with the course participants, based on their tastes and interests. Drawing on my experience with herbs, the result is a satisfying experience of incredible flavours and aromas.

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.
