Hi from Barbara e Paola!

Barbara and Paola welcome us to their home in Bologna.  Barbara, after many years of work in the bank, decided to make the bed and breakfast in her home, an apartment in the fair area of Bologna, realizing a dream. " I love to cook, using seasonal products purchased directly from those who produce them. It's nice to welcome people at home, around the table,  people meet, talk and feed in all senses!". Paola was born in Ferrara, but is Bolognese by adoption. " Of the origins I keep the memories of a child of the summers spent in the garden playing and working the land with her grandfather and the recipes of poor dishes handed down by the women of the family. On Sundays, the dough rolled strictly with a rolling pin...I was enchanted to observe the skill of my mother and grandmother. From them I learned to make cappelletti first and tortellini then, after our "emigration" to Bologna."

Abbiamo passato una meravigliosa serata insieme con la signora Paola. Lei è una signora gentilissima e una bravissima cuoca. Abbiamo goduto una cena tipica Bolognese. Ci siamo sentite a nostro agio. Paola era tanto gentile da spiegare a noi le ricette e in ogni caso cucineremo i piatti a casa. Lo raccomanderemo ad altri

This was such a wonderful experience. Paola, Barbera and Maya were excellent hosts. We learnt a lot but most importantly, we had a great time. I highly recommend this to anybody looking for a more authentic and intimate cooking lesson from two lovely Italian’s!

Barbara e Paola sono di una gentilezza e dolcezza rara. Oltre ad essere delle ottime cuoche sono delle care persone con cui è stato bello chiacchierare e passare una piacevole serata. Grazie dell’accoglienza :)
