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

Shared Experience
Your experience

    This is a family recipe, handed down from our grandparents. I particularly remember my grandmother, who made me feel the warmth of her love when I came home from school in Miramare in winter. Preparing Passatelli is a ritual, and you need just a few healthy ingredients in the right proportions to make the perfect Passatelli. You also need a large potato masher, which has been in the family for generations.

    We will cook them in two different ways: in meat broth, excellent for warming up on cold days, and in a dry version, seasoned with arugula, cherry tomatoes, and crispy ham, to be enjoyed in all seasons. We will finish with the "brazadela" that we will have prepared for you beforehand. The "ritual" requires that the brazadela be dipped in wine (as was done in taverns) or coffee.

    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 !

    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.
