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.

- Paola was a great host. She welcomed us in her cozy and charming house to teach me and my partner how to make tortelone, tagliatelle, and tiramisu. She was very patient and explained all the steps in a perfect English. The food was delicious. She made us some appetisers such as bruschetta and focaccia with ricotta and olives. The experience was delightful and it was a pleasure to meet Paola. We super recommend it, it was a 10/10.
- Bella Esperienza, utile e piacevole. Paola ci ha accolti calorosamente e ci ha guidato con pazienza nella realizzazione dei nostri tortellini che poi abbiamo gustato felici per essere riusciti così rapidamente ad imparare a farli. Esperienza eccezionale da consigliare e ripetere.
- We had a great time making pasta and tiramisu with Paola. She was extremely patient with our lack of cocking skills, spoke perfect English and told us lots of tricks that we can apply at home. Nonetheless, food was delicious, much better than what we tried in restaurants, so we can fully recommend the experience.
- Ho partecipato al corso di tortellini insieme a mia mamma e l'esperienza è stata davvero speciale. Non possiamo dire di essere rimaste entusiaste, ma di più! Paola ci ha accolte con calore e grande entusiasmo nella sua splendida casa, guidandoci passo dopo passo con molta pazienza e passione. È stata un'esperienza che ci ha coinvolto completamente e che consigliamo assolutamente a chiunque voglia vivere un momento autentico e divertente.
- What a lovely experience learning to make lasagna bolognese with Paola. After 4 weeks of travel, the day was like a breath of fresh air. Spending the day cooking and meeting a new friend. Sitting down in her beautiful table and having a home cooked meal was perfect. I learned a lot about local cuisine. I love how food is a great unifier across the world. We all enjoy the love & traditions conveyed in the kitchen. I intend to make this with my kids when we get home!! Perhaps a new holiday tradition for us now. Grazie Paola❣️
