An experience of a lifetime!! - This was the highlight of our time in Bologna. We got to learn how to make pasta in the chef’s kitchen in her countryside home, a 1600 era historic building occupied by the 3rd generation in her family. The weather was perfect so we enjoyed the fruits of our labor on the backyard patio overlooking the incredible view of the valley. The chef and her daughter were so welcoming and warm we left feeling like we were leaving family. ❤️

A Farm Cooking Class to Remember! - My father and my daughter learned how to make tortelloni! We all had a wonderful time at the farm, which is in a gorgeous locale. What a warm, welcoming family who really knows their food. It was so rewarding to learn how to make a real Bolognese sauce from such a talented mother/daughter duo.

Experience culture and cuisine in the countryside - What a wonderful experience! We were warmly welcomed with fresh apricot juice made from the farm’s fruit trees, ricotta cake and of course an espresso. Not only did we learn all about making two kinds of pastas and sauces, we experienced cooking in the chef’s personal kitchen. We got to enjoy the fruits of our labor on the backyard patio overlooking the breathtaking view of the valley. If you are looking for something special to do in Bologna and learn about the cuisine and culture in a 1600 year stone residence, this is the cooking class for you!

3 Course Cooking Demonstration - I had chosen instead of dinner to do this course for my birthday as I truly wanted to cook while in Bologna and it was great. I cannot wait to use the recipes we were given to recreate the dishes at home as well as take the basic skills we have learned and apply them to further pasta and cooking skills. The hosts were warm and helpful, even making me a birthday cake which was incredible. Some cooking courses are large group where you walk away proud but not informed on a personal level and this was small enough that we were given individualized help and conversations about cultural differences or our lives. Highly recommend to anyone who wishes to learn to make pasta or traditional bolognese recipes.
