#bolognacityoffood

All our food & market tours in downtown #bolognacityoffood begin with an artisan cappuccino and a food map of all the #DOP and #IGP food products #inemiliaromagna . We like to talk all of our guests through the agricultural history of the region, cultural and gastronomic traditions over the last 1000 years as well providing an overview of the production methods of the most important foods. We then go off to the markets and delis for tastings that could only be described as ‘abundant’, during which we taste some of the region’s rarest products. Actually, the tastings are so abundant they constitute a hefty lunch. Never say we don’t feed you! (at Bologna, Italy)

It's cold and rainy in #bolognacityoffood so we need comfort food 'par excellence'. Tortellini in brodo! (at Yummy Italy)

It's hot and it's summer here in #bolognacityoffood. All I want is vegetables and fruit. And herbs. These beautiful 🍅 🍅 🍅 which are hiding under rather large quantities of basil are from my local farmers Bruna and Leardo. Add a dash of excellent olive oil (in this case from Puglia), a splash of 6 year barrel-aged condimento balsamico from Modena (of course) and that's lunch. #lessismore (at Yummy Italy)

#gelatotime @racso1769 on a Yummy Italy food tour of #bolognacityoffood with literally THE BEST GELATO in town by @gelateriagalliera49 (oh, and second best in the whole of Italy). This is literally a hole in the wall with amazing gelati and granitas with a gourmet edge and a crazy patron who will only want to serve you an unforgettable gelato. (at Gelateria Galliera 49)

You can't get more #bolognese than this. Whenever you come to #emiliaromagna and you see the word 'bis' on a restaurant menu, you are being offered two half portions of #pasta so that you don't have to limit yourself to tasting only one dish. There is, of course, the 'tris' which consists of three tastings. This was a 'bis' of our iconic #Tagliatelle al ragù and the classic #lasagne alla bolognese. The authentic lasagne from #bologna is made with green, spinach pasta and always has an uneven number of layers (usually 5 or 7). Note the balanced amount of ragù to #béchamel as well as the texture and thickness of the Tagliatelle and the density of the ragù. I think we can definitely benchmark these two dishes. Trattoria Le Golosità di Nonna Aurora. A stone's throw from the Bologna fast train terminal. Don't miss this place if you're in town or book here before you head off on the train to #Florence, #venice or #Milan. Genuine #homecooking at its best. The short, local but carefully selected wine list is perfect for the menu on offer. #yummyfood #bolognacityoffood (at Trattoria Le Golositá Di Nonna Aurora)

Sul mio Facebook oggi c'era un post di Matteo Lepore che rilancia un video sul cibo di Bologna. Certo, l'apertura ("Forget Roma or Naples, Bologna, Italy is THE Italian city of Food") non dispone benissimo, ma che invece di riderci su ci sia qualcuno che pontifica sul fatto che i bolognesi non vogliano più zappare (perché a Napoli e a Roma, invece...) e che al sud il cibo sia meno pesante... boh. Non so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9KucGtCIC8&t=3s" E poi il video è proprio bellino.
