Small-group Tortellini Class at a local's home with lunch or dinner in Bologna

Paola is an awesome cesarina! I was very fortunate to have had a private lesson with a wonderful hostess. We started out by making the pasta and then we used a dough that had already been rested. She had made the filling but she shared the recipe with me so I know how to make it. The hard part was actually making the tortellinis, which is not as easy as it looks. However, Paola is a very patient teacher and she worked with me until I got it right. Once we had them all assembled, we had a glass of wine, an antipasto, and a wonderful conversation. Then she showed me how to cook the tortellinis and prepare a parmesan cream sauce to serve with them. They were delicious! I finished the meal with her homemade tiramisu, another recipe that I can't wait to try. I look forward to returning to Bologna for more cooking lessons!

Perfection from start to finish. Perfect host, perfect food--a day to remember. Paola was the best teacher/hostess we could have hoped for.

The name of the class is "small group" however the class turned into a private class with just my nephew and myself. Although I appreciate the offer, I was really expecting (and wanting) a small group. I was traveling with my 18 year old nephew and thought it would be great to be in a group rather than one on one. The class was hosted at the chef's (Alessia) private apartment which was very messy. Once we got past the one on one and the mess, we had a great time. We learned a great deal about making tortellini and really enjoyed the food and wine.

Vi var alle rigtig tilfredse med dette fine lille kursus hos en privat italiensk familie, værten var dygtig og hjalp os godt igennem Tortellini og teramisu
