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?

- 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.
- Andrea was a charming host. He was a great knowledgeable teacher and taught me things I will never forget. It was a pleasure to share an evening of great food and cultural exchange. Highly recommended.
- Great activity, we learned a lot and our meal was great :)
- When we got there Andrea showed us the garden and picked fresh produce to cook with. The food was sooo good. I couldn’t decide what was my favorite. Everything was so perfect, we will come again when we’re back.
- we had such an amazing night with Andrea and his family. we started off by making tiramisu, ravioli, and truffel (not entirely sure how to spell this pasta) which were all phenomenal. his english was great and so we’re his instructions. his mom was there helping us as well as his dad, who were both lovely people. we cooked, laughed, and told stories until it was time to eat when more of his family joined us. they were all so wonderful as they welcomed us into their home and shared a meal with us as if we were their family. the food was also hands down the best italian food i’ve ever had. we made the main dishes and desserts and he brought out a homemade appetizer and fococcia bread. it was a night my family won’t forget and was so amazing meeting these people. i will 100% be reaching our next time i am in Genoa and highly highly recommend you go meet Andrea and his wonderful family and recipes.
