Learn to Cook Authentic Pasta Bolognese in a Local's Home in the Heart of Modena

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Meet your hosts Roberta and Aurelio at their traditional apartment located in Pomposa Square, where locals often meet at any of the several bars and cafes in the area. Joing them in a cooking class in their small but charming traditional kitchen to learn to cook a typical meal from recipes that Roberta learned from her mother. Your hands-on Bolognese cooking class will last about 2 hours. You will learn to cook three dishes from scratch. Enjoy learning about the tips and techniques involved in making a typical Bolognese pasta from scratch, a side and a dessert before you sit down at the table to share the meal you helped prepare with Roberta and her sons. Since ragu (Bolognese sauce) takes time to cook, Aurelio may have some of the ingredients for your ragu prepared in advance.
