Hi from Cristina!

"I was born and raised in the center of Bologna. My two grandmothers were amazing cooks and I loved being with them and admiring them while preparing their specialties. Slowly I enriched, for my great passion, my menus becoming the reference for my large family at every dinner of great occasions."

What a fantastic workshop! From the first moment, Cristina made us feel right at home. Her warm, personal approach instantly put us at ease. We learned how to make pasta entirely from scratch – from kneading the dough to shaping the perfect tagliatelle and tortelloni. Cristina didn’t just share her recipes; she also offered practical tips you won’t find in any cookbook. Everything was shared with such passion and love for the cuisine of Bologna, it was contagious! The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. We tasted, we learned, and we truly enjoyed ourselves. The result was absolutely delicious! The dishes were pure, authentic, and made with care – by us, under Cristina’s expert guidance. I highly recommend this workshop to everyone – whether you’re a seasoned home cook or just looking for a fun, tasty, and inspiring afternoon or evening. Cristina and her husband makes it truly special. Mille grazie, Cristina – this was an experience we won't forget.

Christina was awesome. Barb and I had a wonderful experience. Christina tailored the class to our wishes and she included a number of additional dishes and tastes. She was lovely and fun and we left with a new friend.

L’esperienza è stata fantastica! Cristina è di un'accoglienza straordinaria, bravissima nelle spiegazioni, segue tutti i partecipanti ed è super generosa nel condividere ricette e consigli. Appena arrivata, mi sono subito sentita a casa...come una cena in famiglia...grazie anche all'accoglienza e simpatia del MITICO Enrico! Vogli sicuramente ripetere l'esperienza in futuro.

Cristina è stata fantastica, ci ha spiegato chiaramente come preparare dei favolosi tortellini ma anche altre ricette della splendida cucina bolognese! L’accoglienza è stata super, ci ha fatto assaggiare delle tigelle buonissime fatte al momento e un ottimo San Giovese! Una menzione speciale al suo simpaticissimo marito e alla sua amica che ci hanno fatto compagnia! È stata una occasione unica dove condividere ricordi e momenti personali tra un tortellino e l’altro!
