Bologna
Frommer's 500 places for food & wine
"If you're going to run a cooking school in Italy, Bologna's the place to do it. Acknowledged as the gastronomic capital of Italy, it's one of the most fascinating cities in the world for food shopping, cooking, and eating."
Condé Nast Traveler
"Trained among Bologna chefs, Mary Beth is the rare female member of this private entity...Mary Beth's theory was impeccable, her process professional enough to please even the doctrine chefs at Alma. She minced her own soffritto rather than using the stuff from the freezer section; she urged us to 'harmonize' the ragu alla bolognese by using only the same vintage of wine we would be serving with the meal."
