Humour and stories

Dear Marcello, Raffaella & Francesca: Our cooking adventure with you is an experience beyond compare. I cannot stop raving about our day in Bologna to my family and friends. I have taken cooking classes in the US where they focused on step-by-step instruction and was expecting the same. Instead, we were warmly welcome into the Tori family and Bologna culture from the instant we arrived. We started the day as teachers/students and felt we ended as old friends.

Marcello provided the humour and stories. Raffaella and Francesca spent countless hours with us in the market and streets of Bologna making sure we understand the tradition and history of the food and Bologna as well as making sure we picked just the freshest and perfect ingredients. We cooked for almost four hours, but the time flew by too fast. I learned not only of how to cook true Italian but also of true hospitality. The warmness and generousity of the entire Tori family is evident in every part of the tour. My only regret is that I did not book a second day. I am anxious to try out my new pasta making skills with my family and friends.
