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.

    Thank you so much for sending me that beautiful video. During such a long trip, the time spent with you two has become one of our most cherished memories. After the trip, I immediately bought the tools for making pasta in Italy to bring home (like the rolling pin for kneading). I plan to try making pasta as soon as possible. Once again, thank you so much!

    Wonderful experience! Welcomed into Eleonora's home with a quick introduction to her and her husband Federico. Immediately into action getting our hands dirty and so many moments to cherish! Together with Eleonora's experience and passion, she conveys a love for what she does! Cooks, teachers, hosts (of the house) and also photo/video makers!! Thank you truly for this beautiful day with you and the delicious Bolognese food!

    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.
