Cooking lesson: learn how to cook Italian recipes with a local Cesarina

Private Experience
Your experience

    In this completely vegetarian cooking class, you will learn some typical Bolognese recipes passed down through generations, as well as how to knead a great pizza.

    In this course I propose farfalline (we call them stricchetti) topped with a tomato and onion sauce, typical Bolognese, perhaps one of the few vegetarian recipes in my city.

    This will be followed by pizza, an excellent margherita pizza, with the addition of some mushrooms, if my guests like, to be baked in the oven.

    It concludes with another great classic: torta tenerina. All vegetarian and all extremely tasty!

    At the end of the course we will enjoy the prepared dishes with a good local wine.

    Our Bologna cooking class with Paola was fantastic! My wife and I were warmly welcomed and immediately felt like we were reconnecting with a long-time friend. All cooking ingredients, utensils, and recipes were ready upon our arrival, which allowed ample time for learning the cooking techniques while asking plenty of questions. To our delight, Paolo arranged for us to eat our cooking results on her beautiful patio, where we enjoyed a bottle of Chianti Classico wine from our travels. Our memorable time with Paola and our cooking experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Grazie mille!

    Our Cesarine was amazing. Her home was lovely and she gave a true immersion into an Italian home. We learned to make tagliatelle and tiramisu (her nonna’s recipe). thank you Paola for sharing your evening. We recommend her to anyone who wants to learn from a local.

    I had a great cooking class together with Paola. We made some very delicious food together, which I look forward to recreate at home. It was a wonderful evening and I had a really great time.

    I specifically chose Paola because she does lasagne, and she did not disappoint. Her home is lovely and we particularly loved her garden patio for dinner. She taught us proper techniques for kneading and rolling the pasta dough, how to easily make bechamel sauce, and gave us her recipe for the ragu, and took the time to explain each ingredient. Although I have tried to make traditional lasagne at home, this was just what I needed to learn from an expert and perfect my skills. She even gave us her recipe for her amazing focaccia bread. She made the experience fun, easy, and we walked away having learned so much. If you’re coming to Bologna, I highly recommend Paola as your personal Emilia-Romagna cooking tutor!

    Highly recommend, couldn’t ask for a better host to teach us traditional pasta making. Paola is amazing. The result of our pasta and tiramisu was delicious. It was our first time ever doing something like this and the outcome surprised us.
