Hallo von Barbara!
Hallo, ich bin Barbara! Ich wurde im Golf der Poeten als Tochter einer sardischen Mutter und eines genuesischen Vaters geboren und verbrachte meine Kindheit bei meinen geliebten Großeltern. Ich bezeichne mich gerne als Weltbürgerin, habe aber eine starke Bindung zu meiner Heimat und unseren Traditionen, genau wie mein Mann Stefano. Gemeinsam möchten wir unsere Leidenschaft für das Kochen und unsere Wurzeln mit anderen Enthusiasten und Neugierigen teilen. Seit meiner Kindheit habe ich eine große Leidenschaft für das Kochen entwickelt, dank meiner Großmutter, die mir beigebracht hat, zu experimentieren und neue Geschmacksrichtungen zu probieren. Ich war schon immer abenteuerlustig und habe alle Originalrezepte aus verschiedenen Ländern der Welt probiert, aber die ligurische Küche bleibt meine Lieblingsküche. Wir haben beschlossen, die Türen unseres Hauses, das auf den Terrassen der Cinque Terre oberhalb von Riomaggiore liegt, zu öffnen, um unsere Leidenschaft für die Küche und die lokale Kultur zu teilen. Für uns ist das Kochen die beste Art und Weise, die Geschichte unserer Region zu erzählen und die wahre ligurische Tradition an andere weiterzugeben. Wir freuen uns, diese kulinarische Reise mit Ihnen teilen zu dürfen!

- Barbara and Stefano were the perfect hosts. The class was very informative and hands-on. Getting there was a bit more difficult than anticipated. Take Barbara up on her offer of arranging taxi service to her house. In the end, the 100 treacherous stairs up the mountain were worth it but if you are not in really good shape it can be a problem.
- Perfetto!! The food, the hosts, the setting, the instruction, the dogs, the house…it was all magnificent! I can’t describe all of the different points of perfection, so I will just say that we would do it again, it was worth the money, and it was a top moment of our entire trip (which spanned 2 weeks in 4 different countries).
- Amazing! Barbara and Stefano were so welcoming. The views from the mountain side are spectacular. Barbara was very knowledgable and taught us how I imagine my mom would have taught me if she were Italian and made pasta, and Tiramisu. Side note just get a cab, the locator on whatever map you are looking at is wrong because that new modern device doesn’t have ancient Roman footpaths on it.
- Barbara and Stefano were nothing short of amazing. The view from their home in Riomaggiore felt like something out of a dream, very peaceful, expansive and unforgettable. But what made the experience truly special was them. It’s rare to be welcomed so warmly by locals, and even rarer to be invited into their kitchen to learn a treasured family recipe passed down through generations. We made pasta, bruschetta, and the most amazing tiramisu we have ever tasted. Their sweet dogs, Anna and Julie, made it all feel even more like home. Barbara and Stefano have such a deep love for food and tradition. Every ingredient had a purpose, every step had meaning. You could feel the care in the way they prepared everything, always with intention and always with heart. I’d do it all again in a heartbeat just to be in their presence, to share another meal, and to take in that stunning view. Thank you, Barbara and Stefano, for one of the most beautiful memories we will carry with us.
- This was an amazing authentic Ligurian experience! Barbara started the class by sitting down with us and we immediately felt welcomed and at home. She even helped set up the taxi for us and helped us find our way to her lovely home. Her and her husband stefano were so knowledgeable not only about the food but about the area. Learning her family recipes was an unforgettable experience and I can’t not mention the views that we had while enjoying the finished product. If you are in Riomaggiore, this class is a must!
