Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina

Shared Experience
Your experience

    Enjoy an unforgettable experience by the sea in Portofino. I will welcome you to a beautiful hillside location with a unique view, where we will prepare pesto together using a mortar and pestle, just as tradition dictates. You will knead flour and eggs to make tagliatelle according to my grandmother Eleonora's recipe. I will let you taste my Ligurian focaccia, accompanied by a platter of cold cuts and cheeses and a fresh Aperol Spritz. To finish, we will prepare tiramisu together, followed by Marcello's limoncino, made with lemons from the garden. Weather permitting, we will enjoy everything on the panoramic veranda with swimming pool and view of Portofino; alternatively, inside the house. I look forward to welcoming you!

    It was an amazing cooking class with very hospitable Elisa. It is very well organised, precise and with a personal touch. Elisa and Moncello make a fabulous team. I would certainly recommend it if you wish to learn to cook pasta and pesto!

    Most amazing experience of my life Elisa and Marcello are the best people we taught her english and she taught us italian me and my boyfriend are obsessed with them and their food.

    The location is remote, but Elisa and her husband were the PERFECT hosts!!! Quality of food was excellent, using the freshest ingredients. Our family truly enjoyed making an authentic, multi course, homemade Italian meal! Come hungry and prepared to cook— if we find ourselves in the region again, we would absolutely return to Elisa! Grazie mille!

    Wow where do we begin? I’ve done lots of cooking classes in Europe over the years, and this is the BEST one by far! Elisa’s home was gorgeous, and she and her husband were so welcoming and lovely to us. The food was incredible, it was so fresh and there was so much of it. Elisa was also accomodating to our food allergies, and it was a small group so was very intimate and personal. Extremely worth the price, this is a MUST do experience if you’re coming to Italy 😍😊

    my husband and I took a pasta and tiramisu cooking class, and it was such an incredible experience! ❤️ Elisa and her husband, Marcello, were the sweetest, kindest, and most welcoming hosts. Elisa taught us every step in such great detail, making the class fun, easy to follow, and so enjoyable. We learned so much, laughed a lot, and left with wonderful memories (and delicious food!). Thank you both for your warm hospitality, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting! 🇮🇹🍝✨
