Hello everybody and welcome to our kitchen!
I am Andrea, and I was born in Bologna, in a house close to the center. Even though I’ve always lived in the city, I do have a special connection with the land and its products. During my youth I always played in the yard of my grandparent’s house where they had a beautiful vegetable garden. Year after year I was witnessing the “magic birth” of beans, tomatoes, peppers and eggplants. For a time I also took care of a part of the garden by myself, and the wise hands of my grandmother transformed my products in tasty meals. She was a great cook and she was devoted to the food tradition of Bologna. For me it was a great luck that her ability was inherited by my mother, so, it was natural for me to join the family passion, and I learnt to prepare some of the classic dishes of our tradition.
My passion for the land brought me to become a geologist, but my interest for gastronomy never left me. This knowledge gave me and Giulia, my life partner, the idea to open our house and our kitchen to those who wish to learn the secrets of our traditional recipes, deepen their knowledge of ingredients, or enter in a world of tastes and scents rooted in the ancient tradition of our ancestors.
And we are here for you.
