    I will reveal the secrets of crafting authentic Genovese DOP basil pesto using a mortar, and you may even be inspired to join the World Pesto Championship.

    Additionally, we'll prepare walnut sauce, a classic Genoese condiment that pairs wonderfully with pansotti (herb-filled ravioli), highlighting the region's aromatic herbs. Furthermore, we'll bake Genoese sage focaccia. Join me at my home in the heart of Genoa, just steps away from the historic Palazzi dei Rolli, a noble gathering place in the 1700s. Don't miss this opportunity to learn the art of handcrafting the world's most renowned sauce: "Il Pesto".

    We had a delightful evening with Tiziana and Roberto making pasta and tiramisu. They were very welcoming, the company entertaining and informative, and the food was delicious! This class was great to accommodate various skill levels. We appreciated learning about some local history and traditions along with making these delicious food dishes. Highly recommend for a unique and fun experience!

    I had an amazing experience with our hosts, Tiziana and Roberto! They are a sweet, funny, and welcoming. They told us stories and gave advice on the city, despite sometimes needing to use a translator to do so! I would recommend to anyone for an authentic Italian food experience.

    My daughter and I took the cooking class and learned how to make traditional Christmas Genovese dishes and it exceeded our expectations! In addition to the outstanding meal, the company was just as wonderful! The chef was warm and welcoming and provided us with lovely conversation, and a true authentic italian cooking experience that felt like making dinner with family! Looking forward to booking with them again! Grazie Tiziana!

    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 ".
