Your experience
Step into the heart of Ligurian tradition with a unique experience: you’ll learn to make trofie and tagliatelle by hand and to pound fresh basil in a mortar. You’ll smell the scent of basil, feel the warmth of the kitchen and taste the authentic flavours of Liguria with every mouthful. To finish on a sweet note, you’ll make a special tiramisu, all accompanied by a glass of fresh, fragrant Ligurian wine.
An experience that nourishes the heart, hands and palate!

- Grazie millie Maria & Caterina for being such welcoming hosts - we really, really enjoyed a wonderful evening of delicious food, from aperitif to dessert. We greatly appreciated how you accommodated last minute for a vegetarian, and very generous of you to drive us to the train station too! Would definitely recommend this class to anyone interested in cooking some really nice Italian pasta and tiramisu - 10/10!
- Caterina and Fabian are fantastic hosts. They welcome us in their home. We were invited to cook and eat in their beautiful garden full of fresh herbs. If you like sharing stories, learn to make ravioli, pesto and tiramisu in a relaxing surrounding, we highly recommend this cooking workshop. At the end, we received a nice handmade souvenir to remember our holiday in Cinque Terre.
- Caterina and her husband are absolutely lovely people. They welcomed us in their home and started off the experience with a wonderful appetizer spread. We then moved on to making the food starting with a delicious tiramisu, ravioli, pasta and served with delicious wine. Caterina’s husband is a wonderful translator and Caterina is incredibly talented and patient. I would HIGHLY recommend this as a tour option to consider.
- My husband and 2 of our friends had an absolutely fabulous time making pasta and understanding more about the food in the area. They were wonderful hosts and we truly enjoyed the way they opened their home to us. If you are on the fence wondering if you should book this experience or not, the answer is YES!! Book this amazing experience now.
- Our cooking class was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Italy and an experience we will never forget. From the moment we arrived, you welcomed us like family. Your warmth, kindness, and genuine interest in getting to know us made the experience so special and personal. Thank you for your patience while teaching us. You made every step of the cooking process fun, easy to follow, and enjoyable, no matter our skill level. We learned so much and felt completely at home. The food was absolutely delicious, and getting to prepare it in such a beautiful outdoor setting made the experience even more magical. Every detail was thoughtfully organized, allowing us to relax and simply enjoy the activity. This was so much more than a cooking class—it felt like spending time with friends and creating memories that we will cherish forever. Thank you for your generosity and hospitality. We cannot recommend this experience enough!

Where
Caterina
Cesarina from 2026Location: La Spezia (SP) Languages: Italian and EnglishFor me, cooking is above all about hospitality, sharing, discovery, and openness. Every dish I prepare is a small invitation: to enter my world, to taste flavors, to exchange stories and smiles. I enjoy experimenting with new ingredients and recipes, but also preserving traditions, because they are the identity of a place and tell who we are. Every aroma, every color in the kitchen tells a bit of me: curious, creative, and always ready to explore the world through food.
