Express cooking class: learn how to make Pesto and enjoy an appetizer with a glass of local wine
- Mixed Ligurian appetizers
- Mandilli pasta with pesto sauce
I'm waiting for you for this cooking class, where, equipped with a mortar and pestle, you can create with your own hands a little strength and patience, the pesto sauce.
Pesto is a traditional ligurian sauce for pasta handmade: mandilli, trenette, gnocchi and trofie. I'll tell you how to use mortar and all ingredients, each of you will have a workstation. Now you can start. When pesto is ready we'll prepare mandilli pasta handmade. This typical genoese pasta is made with flour, egg, water and white wine. Finally we'll enjoy, first of all, mixed ligurian appetizers: cuculli, cheese focaccia, omelette and local cheese. Then we'll eat mandilli pasta with pesto sauce that you prepared earlier. This experience ends with a dessert. Are you ready to try this experience?

- This class was one of my highlights in Genova and Andrea was an amazing teacher! He took time to explain not only how to cook each dish but also the regional history about Genova’s cooking. By the time class was over I made three delicious Italian dishes and had some wonderful coffee courtesy of Andrea and his mom. Andrea’s English was extremely good and he was very fun to chat with! Absolutely do not miss his class :)
- Great Food and a great experience. Andrea is a gentle host.
- L'esperienza che cercavo per festeggiare il mio compleanno con le persone più care! Servizio eccellente e delicato, cibo buono e curato. Tutto perfetto!
- Andrea and his mother were very pleasant to meet at the central Genova Market. Andrea's English was terrific in his delivery of the cooking process and was agreeable to change the proposed menu to a more complex and interesting foods to challenge my cooking experience. The Squid cleaned (UH) was new for me, cooked with some olive oil and olives delivered on fresh pasta we made, mushrooms deliciously fried added to more pasta, delicious cookies with powdered sugar on top! Along with a bottle of white wine to have every Italian meal complete. !
- Andrea was a most wonderful host. He was such a well mannered and informative teacher and we learned not only about how to properly prepare a delicious local meal but also he taught us the history of the meals and of the area. The entire experience was truly perfect and we all highly recommend for you to book a class with Andrea.
