The Bologna market tours, guided shop visits and authentic Bolognese recipes served up by the Bologna Cooking School are the best way to appreciate the real 'Cucina Bolognese'.

They are aimed at any foodie or passionate culinary visitor who wants to dedicate at least half a day to the classic gastronomic delights of Bologna and the historical setting of the famous markets.

The lessons are straight out of authentic Bologna food tradition and held in a typical house of the centre of the city in a family atmosphere and are held in both Italian and English.

At the end of each class participants are presented with a personalized recipe book with all the dishes featured and diploma.

Each course can be personalized and tailored to your interests. Because of this group size is limited to no more than 4 people.

Before you start you will be taken on a market tour to meet stall holders and visit some of the best culinary spots in the city for purchasing essential ingredients and food in season.

One to one courses are also offered and bed and breakfast accommodation can be arranged.

 

WHAT YOU WILL BE COOKING

Your first course will feature such delights as handmade fresh egg pasta - the classic tortellini or tortelloni filled with mortadella, ham, eggs, nutmeg, parmigiano reggiano cheese & pork loin or, alternatively, ricotta cheese, garlic, parsley & eggs, all flavoured with delicious ragù alla Bolognese or Bolognese sauce.

Second courses begin with 'cotoletta alla Bolognese' from the Apennines where Tuscany borders Emilia. Then there is 'bolliti misti' or boiled mixed meat: beef with veal tongue, sausage or stuffed pig's trotter.

Dessert or dolci are 'torta degli addobbi' made from rice and chopped almonds, but also typical Christmas 'certosino', 'panspeziale', 'sfrappole', 'pinza' and 'raviole of Saint Joseph', the latter eaten during Carnival.
