ABC cook in Italy | Alce Bologna Cucina

Experience the excellence in the most important gastronomic centre of Emilia

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 table and  at  the  end  of  each  session  there  is  the  opportunity to  taste exquisitecombinations of food and wine.

The whole  process  is  then  summarised  in  a cookbook for you to take away, which lists the  techniques you have used and developed.

NEW: From October 2015, 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).
