    Martina was amazing. She made us feel so welcome in her home and explained about not only what we were cooking but about the city as well. She helped when needed and walked us through step by step. We had an amazing time and cannot wait to try these recipes at home! My husband said next time we are there we are going to do her food market and cooking tour!

    Great one-on-one insights into making typical pasta dishes from Bologna. Hearing about martine’s personal experiences growing up in the area made it the more valuable
