Best Cooking school in Italia

J	Jason Tay on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I booked this with my wife for a half day course to cook 3 different types of pastas. Although I have made pasta before, it was good to learn the traditional way of making it by hand! Carmelita is a good and firm teacher but make sure you pay attention! She gave a good background on the different types of flour, history of pasta from the region and how they eat/make it. We booked this on our first day in Italy and it was a good starting point in appreciating all the pasta we would be eating the rest of the trip! Although my wife didn't cook she also enjoyed herself and it was the longest I've ever seen her in the kitchen ! I would definitely recommend booking her in for a lesson if you have a few hours to spare
F	Felicity Chandler on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My new husband and I booked on for the Market-to-table day class, making 3 courses, which we both really enjoyed. We met Carmelita in the morning for a wander round the local shops where she shared some of the interesting history and stories of the area as we purchased the ingredients for the meals we would be making later. She was friendly, chatty and very knowledgeable and we really enjoyed wandering through Bologna with her. The courses she chose were spot on. We'd requested a traditional bolognese as it's my favourite meal and I was excited to learn to make it from scratch Bologna-style. Carmelita then chose the other 2 courses - a butternut squash panna cotta with walnuts and gorgonzola, and guinea fowl with a red wine, onion and sausage sauce (and mushroom sauce for my husband). The recipes were easy to follow (good for when we try making it again at home!) and we loved getting hands on. She gave us great help and advice throughout and the food was stunning. Really delicious! We have been researching pasta makers ever since! Thank you Carmelita for a wonderful experience.
L	Lee Wheeler on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well what can I say... A really incredible day spent with Carmelita learning how to make pasta and gnocchi from scratch as well as various other delicious homecooked italian dishes taylored to our tastes. We were made to feel at home right away and left wishing we had booked the full day course because we enjoyed the morning so much. Thanks Carmelita for making it an experience to remember and also for all the interesting conversation and of course, amazing food!
A	April Miller on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a great day! Carmelita and I first toured shops and vegetable markets, gathering ingredients for our cooking class. We talked a lot about the culture and food history of the area and spoke with a few of the local vendors. The afternoon was spent preparing our three course meal which consisted of a sautéed radicchio, fresh made pasta with peas and pancetta, and stuffed zucchini. I discovered that making pasta takes patience and finesse (I was a complete newbie), but Carmelita is a really good teacher with lots of experience. Perhaps my favorite part of the day was enjoying dinner with a couple of glasses of wine and a new friend. I highly recommend this experience and definitely plan to return!
C	Claudia Pan (3D.ans le Garage) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What to say! The cooking class with Carmelita was incredible! We madeTagliatelle al Ragù and filled pasta. Apart from delicious, we had a step by step class, where we learned the technique in detail and got to work as a team :) Carmelita also explained to us the difference about the Bolognese Ragú and the Napolese Ragú. Let me tell you the Bolognese Ragú is my favourite and I didn't even know it was different. She also recommended us two stores to get good products as, parmigiano, guanciale and fresh pasta :) She also gave us very good tips on where to go eat, drink and have some gelatto. At the end of the course we enjoyed a delicious home made dinner with some one in Carmelita's lovely apartment, and later we even went for a drink as she is fantastic and we were so grateful. I 100% recommend to attend this cooking class and I will for sure go back to cook a different dish the next time I go to Bologna. Thank you Carmelita for this unforgettable experience!
C	Cristina Torrent on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My friends surprised me with a trip to Bologna for my bachelorette. What a surprise there when they took me to Carnelita’s kitchen for an italian cooking class, consisting on a “custom half day class making tagliatelle al ragù and a filled pasta from scratch. No words of what an amazing experience it was! I only want to go back there to repite again the class. Carmelita is wonderful, kind and patient! (It took a bit for us learning how to make the dough) and the pasta we make thanks to her guidance was the best I ate during the whole weekend. Can’t wait to try to repite by myself at home to my beloved ones. Thank you Cook Italy ????‍? I highly recommend this experience to cook lovers visiting Bologna. You won’t regret!!!! ❤️
C	Charlotte Rasquin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had a terrific time with Carmelita! She was the perfect host. We had a great chat while cooking and eating, and she knows everything you need to know to make the perfect Italian food. Carmelita was very patient when we were not and was capable of troubleshooting whatever went wrong. We made a whole menu of classic Bologna cuisine and she offered a perfect pairing of local wine. During and after our lunch we had a great chat, in which she taught us a lot about Bologna and life, and made us feel like we knew her forever. Something we absolutely recommend doing whenever you visit Bologna! Charlotte and Philippe
J	Jill Knapp on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Carmelita is amazing! I had high expectations and this experience still far outside those. It was so enjoyable and relaxing to be in her home, learning to cook, learning about Italian cooking and culture and so many other things. Our group just loved every part of this experience. And the food was incredible! I will always remember this experience and I feel like I have a new friend in Bologna! Thank you Carmelita!
