Basic techniques course of Italian cuisine

Hands on cooking classes with our professional Chefs right in the heart of the Italian Food Valley: Emilia Romagna

These classes are designed to show you the secrets of Italian cuisine. Secrets that spring from the diverse histories of the country’s various places, all of which boast numerous regional and local specialties.
Qualified chefs will help you prepare superb dishes, step by step.

The basic techniques are learned ‘over the stove‘ and at the end of each session there is the opportunity to taste exquisite combinations of food and wine. The whole process is then summarized in a cookbook for you to take away, which lists the techniques you have used and developed.

Our classes are held in our state-of-the-art fully equipped professional kitchen (with twelve individual workstations, a complete roster of utensils and appliances, and …a magnificent view on the famous Bologna roofs).

The Italian cuisine through regional menus

DETAILS: A 360° tour through the Italian peninsula menus. We like calling it “1000 km” (it is after all the distance between the Alps and Sicily) because it enhances and revises the endless national gastronomy through its regional variations. We strictly respect the products seasonality and pay a rigorous attention in selecting quality raw material (DOP, IGP, PAT, encouraging slow food, etc.).
This will be a tour of Italy and of the authentic Italian tastes and flavours.
