Emilia-Romagna Aulas de Culinária

What a wonderful 3 hours learning to make the dough then 3 shapes and finishing with tasting our work. It was fun to be in their home and she was a wealth of information about pasta as well as Bologna. It's the best cooking class we've been on.

We had a great time with Irena, an amazing host! We share many recipes together. She welcomed us in her home with her husband Marco who served us his fresh homemade bread. Irena is a great teacher, she detailed all the steps with her great English. If you only follow her hands, you won't get it. You need to listen to her advices and she will guide you in all the steps. All the details count: the temperature of the ingredients, the quantities, the techniques, the products, etc. You will be amazed by her experience and her techniques. We enjoyed our time with Irena and her family. Her teaching will remain with us as a precious memory of Italy! Grazie ancora per aver condiviso la tua passione per la cucina, il tuo amore per la tua famiglia e i tuoi segreti della pasta fatta in casa! Bologna è la città gastronomica d'Italia!

Really enjoyed the evening and appreciated that the class was in the host’s home. The hostess was skilled at both teaching and in extending hospitality.

The cooking class was the best local experience, right in her home with her family, learning how to make 3 kinds of pasta from Bologna. Easy instruction to follow as well as a lot of information about pasta in Italy. At the end we got to eat what we made with wine and dessert included. Highly recommend!

Irene was the best cook and she gave us an authentic experience. I can only recommend this cooking class

The cooking class was delivered with passion and a world of traditional knowledge. The friendliness and support, and the delicious lunch produced with the pasta we made was just perfect! Our host showed us that simple cooking and preparation can achieve perfect results. I would recommend this cooking lesson to anyone that wishes to learn a little bit about true Bolognaise culture and flavours. Definitely beyond my expectations!

From beginning to end, outstanding! Great hosts and great company! Fantastic way to spend time in Bologna!

We were incredibly well received by Bianca and her husband. Bianca taught us classic Italian family dishes in a cozy yet professional manner. Afterwards ate everything on the beautiful terrace with a wonderful view. In summary it was a blissful classy afternoon

What an unbelievable experience we had with Bianca and her family. She was lovely enough to fit us in last minute. Little did we know it was less than 48 hours after her son’s wedding, which was also where we had our class. Her house is a 5th generation hunting lodge that sits on a hilltop about 25 minutes outside of Bologna, but was easy to get to. We were welcomed by Bianca, her husband, her daughter, her brand new, lovely daughter-in-law and their wonderful dogs. We were learning to make tortellini and tiramisu, but in classic Italian style we started with some wine first, then made the dough first so it could rest. We jumped to the meet filling - a combination of pork, mortadella and prosciutto, combined with parmigiana and seasoning. It knocked our socks off. Next came the fun part - cutting the tortellini, filling them and trying to make them look pretty. The making them look pretty was the hardest part. More fine followed and then it was time to make the tiramisu and let it chill before we got to dig in for lunch. While the tortellini were cooking, we whipped up an incredible sauce that was super easy to make. Then more wine and time to eat. It tasted amazing and we enjoyed the countryside as we sip more wine, eat amazing pasta and downed our dessert. The time flew by and Bianca and her entire family were extremely gracious with their time and talents. I highly recommend this first class cooking experience with Bianca.

Irene was an amazing instructor. She was patient and kind throughout the class and super fun and upbeat. We loved learning her grandmother's recipes and can not wait to share them with our family and friends.

Loved Irene’s explanations, patience and the food and experience was incredible!

The class was well organised, fun and good value. Our teacher Irena was knowledgeable, pleasant and encouraging. Perhaps your ad should state that your lessons and the foods you will make, then eat are dictated by what is seasonal at the time you attend.

We had an excellent experience yesterday in our cooking class with Paola Tassi in Bologna!!! Paola was very knowledgeable and friendly. She opened her beautiful home to my husband and me and my brother and gave us an insight into Italian living and cooking. Simple, delicious foods were prepared and enjoyed. Paola’s extra touches were the icing on the cake! I hope to come back and enjoy another class sometime!!

Had a great day learning all sorts of things on Italian cuisine and cooking principles. Really enjoyed learning this new cooking skills! The class made everything accessible and fun, and the food at the end was delicious. Definitely recommend doing this while you’re in Bologna!

We enjoyed the class very much. Martina was a great teacher. We learned a lot about the local and traditional food
