Description

A cooking class is an engaging and fun way to discover one of the most authentic aspects of the city: its rich culinary tradition!

Guided by an expert chef, participants will be able to ‘get their hands dirty,’ learning artisanal techniques, curiosities, and anecdotes related to the local flavors. From preparing baked goods such as the famouscoppia ferrarese(tipycal bred), recognizable for its unique shape, to iconic desserts liketorta tenerina, and even fresh egg pasta—the base of the renownedpumpkin cappellacci—every activity is designed to highlight the area’s culinary excellence.

Every Saturday, theStrada dei Vini e dei Sapori di Ferrara Association, at theVergani Institute in Ferrara, organizes a perfect experience to share with family or friends. It combines fun, learning, and a small final tasting, offering an authentic immersion into local tradition.
