Your experience
I welcome you to my home in the heart of old Genoa, a short distance from the Palazzi dei Rolli and the largest historic center in Europe. During our experience, you will become an expert in the preparation of the world's most famous sauce: Pesto di basilico DOP alla genovese. We will use the ancient mortars and, guided by me, you will become part of the Genoa associated with traditional cuisine. The poetry of freshly prepared pesto will be tasted on Genoese focaccia. Afterwards, our culinary adventure will continue with our hands in the dough, preparing the pasta matta to create the legendary focaccia al formaggio di Recco, a world-famous Ligurian specialty. In the process, I will reveal the secrets to enjoying a cheesy focaccia at home.

- Amazing experience and lots of fun! Tiziana and her husband were very welcoming and accommodating and the the was great. Highly recommend.
- Today we did the small group pasta and tiramisu class in Genoa. Our hosts were Tiziana and Roberto and they graciously invited us into their home. There were six of us which included my two sisters and their husbands along with my husband and myself. We made the tiramisu first so that it could refrigerate. While making the tiramisu, there was focaccia bread and some outstanding pesto she had made. Then, we each made ball of dough for the pasta. We were making lasagna with an pesto sauce and herb and pesto ravioli with a walnut sauce. Since the dough needed to rest for thirty minutes, Tiziana had a delicious spread of several meats, cheese, pickles and bread on two trays for us to enjoy. Next we made the lasagna and ravioli from our pasta dough. We learned how to make both and were each able to participate in the process. Tiziana and Roberto were gracious hosts and we enjoyed getting to know both of them while we cooked and ate the amazing food we had prepared. It was a wonderful time. We loved it so much. Thank you to you both!!
- Tiziana and Roberto were amazing! I booked a class for myself and my two teenagers and it was definitely the highlight of the trip so far. It is hard to know looking online if something is going to be personal or super touristy, and I can happily say that Tiziana and Roberto welcomed us into their home and we immediately felt like visiting family instead of strangers. The food was fantastic and we got to sample other dishes while waiting for ours to finish. A beautiful home, a beautiful family, and the best pesto I have ever eaten!
- Ho regalato questa esperienza ad una mia amica per il suo compleanno. Tiziana ci ha accolto in casa sua con entusiasmo e ci ha messo subito a nostro agio! Ci ha insegnato i segreti della cucina locale, lavorando la pasta e cucinandola poi insieme. Esperienza unica e da rivivere!
- What a great experience! I wish I could leave more then 5 stars!!! Tiziana and Roberto were extremely accommodating and so fun to cook with! Tiziana showed us the ins and outs to creating local Italian cuisine! The final product was delicious! And the Tiramisu was the best we’ve ever had! We are so excited to put our new skills into practice back home in Australia! We Highly recommend Tiziana’s cooking class for any travellers if they want a relaxed and fun activity to do in Genoa! Thank you Tiziana and Roberto

Tiziana
Cesarina from 2022Location: Genoa Languages: Italian and English"The delights of Tiziana are a mix of traditional Ligurian cuisine, with Venetian and Calabrian influences . My family has origins linked to these three regions and my passion for cooking and hospitality began when I was a child. eight years I organized parties at my house and I chose the menu with my mother Maria, a Venetian who grew up in Genoa, who helped me and in the meantime I was learning. In my home, which is located in the heart of Genoa, located in a "creuza de but "one step away from the historic center of Genoa, I propose a very eclectic cuisine: from the lean cappon of the Ligurian tradition in its most sumptuous dimension, to the top treated like a divinity that is realized after long passages, to finish with pesto, prepared with the basil picked on the right day just sprouted. A cuisine that transmits love as well as taste and good humor for days and days ".
