Shared Experience
Your experience
Cappon magro is an ancient traditional Ligurian dish made with fish and vegetables. If you are looking for a unique gastronomic experience during your vacation in Genoa, Cappon magro is definitely an excellent choice. Various kinds of fish are used: sea bass, hake, mussels, scampi or shrimps and vegetables: green beans, carrots, cauliflower, potatoes, beet that will be used to compose the Cappon magro. The base should be gallette soaked in vinegar, then proceed by creating a sequence of layers, with the fish and with the vegetables, all alternating with the salsa verde trying to choose a chromatic order for the vegetables so that the final effect is pleasant. You just have to try it!
A mixed fish fry and dessert will follow.

- 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.

Cesarina from 2021Location: Genoa Languages: Italian, English, Spanish"It all started at the age of 12 with my first dish: the pennette with cream and asparagus. From here I decided to deepen this passion by obtaining the Hotel School and subsequently attending various private courses. I follow recipes handed down by my grandmothers, all strictly Genoese and/ or Ligurian. I live in Sestri Ponente, in the province of Genoa, where I can quickly reach the sea, but also the mountains. I welcome my guests in the room of my home and I like to customize and decorate the table according to the event."
