Ferrara Cooking Experience, Learn, Cook & Taste

Discover the authentic flavors of our tradition: Cappellacci di Zucca, a symbol of the Este culinary heritage, and the Brazadéla, the classic ring-shaped cake that our grandmothers used to bake for special occasions and family snacks. During this experience, you’ll get your hands dirty, following traditional techniques step by step.

We’ll start by preparing the dough for egg-based pasta, which you’ll learn to roll out with a rolling pin until it’s thin and elastic. We’ll then make the traditional pumpkin filling and guide you through the process of shaping the cappellacci, revealing the techniques, little secrets, and interesting facts passed down from generation to generation.

Next, we’ll prepare the Brazadèla in a warm and convivial atmosphere. This traditional sweet was a true staple of Ferrara’s tables: children enjoyed it as an afternoon snack, while adults loved dipping it into a glass of wine as a cherished local tradition.

To wrap things up, we’ll sit down together at the table to enjoy what we’ve prepared, ending the experience with a nice glass of wine and a moment of sharing and laughter.
