5.00This was a very well organized cooking class. The location was easy to find and we were met by two wonderful cooking instructors., Stefania and Claudia. They welcomed us and encouraged us to share our love of cooking, and we enjoyed getting to know each other while, sharing a meal together . Stefania helped all of us in making our own pasta dough and Claudia taught us how to make a Spritz. We learned about local traditions including a how they made the traditional Bolognese sauce which we used over our pasta . We were also greeted with a fabulous white wine, we enjoyed our Spritz cocktails, we tried an we tried a wonderful red wine and we got to try some Amaro which I have always wanted to try. We ended the afternoon with a café and a gelato paired with a drizzle of a very aged balsamic vinegar from Modena. What a very generous treat that was. Don’t hesitate to book this class. It is very much worth it..
Great class to learn how to make pasta
