Bologna Recipes


Italy's Food Capital

‘Bologna is a jewel!’ The gastronomic delights of the Emilia-Romagna region are legendary and provide lots of material for any Italian cookery course. Bologna is the home of parmesan cheese, balsamic vinegar and Parma ham. Pasta shops in Bologna specialise in tortellini, piled in tantalising mounds with an amazing variety of mouth-watering fillings that change with the season.

During you stay with us in Flavours Italian Cookery School in Bologna, you'll be taught some of the tricks of the trade regarding pasta making!

No cooking holiday in Bologna would be complete without learning to make these delicious pastas for yourself. The classic Bologn ragu is a staple food practically worldwide, although you might find yourself surprised at how the Bologn actually make this famous sauce. The food is often rustic as is the villa, Palazzo Minelli, that you get to stay in while undertaking Flavours cooking holiday in the Emilia-Romagna region. There are a variety of fantastic wines from this region and also the famous Nocino liqueur. Even on our short, four-day breaks we make sure that there is ample opportunity for our guests to taste for themselves a variety of wines.


Bologna has deservedly gained the quite cheeky nickname of 'La Grassa’ meaning 'Fat', due to its reputation as a gourmet city. Besides being known for creating the traditional rich tomato ragu alla Bolognese - the authentic Bolognese sauce recipe, no cookery course in Bologna is complete without making tortelloni pasta, favourite fillings include pumpkin, ricotta and truffles.
