Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
- Sailor's Crostino (Caponada)
The Sailor’s Crostino is a historic recipe from the Maritime Republic of Genoa.
Traditionally made with galletta — the dry bread sailors took on long sea voyages — it was flavored with garlic, dried herbs, salted anchovies, and freshly caught fish. This simple yet rich preparation is known as Caponada, the original sailor’s crostino. In this cooking experience, I’ll guide you through its preparation using typical ingredients: cherry tomatoes, basil, garlic, fresh Genovese pesto, salted anchovies, Taggiasca olives, tuna belly, capers, and chili pepper. A vegetarian version is also available. Everything is served with Ligurian focaccia, fresh pesto, and a chilled glass of prosecco.

- We had a wonderful experience cooking with Tiziana! She was a very welcoming host Who was truly passionate about sharing the local traditions. If you are looking for an experience that combines great food, culture and heart, this class is a must do in Italy. It was a bonus to have so many pictures and videos of our cooking!
- Tiziana was a great host. She explained everything in great detail and the food we cooked together was very delicious. She really welcomed us in her home and told many stories about cooking and the city of Genova. We had a wonderful time at this class.
- We had a great time making pasta and tiramisu, laughing and eating with Tiziana. We had great discussions about the history of Genova and places to visit. Well worth our time.
- We had a fantastic time learning how to make traditional Italian and Genova style cuisine. We had fun, laughed, and talked about Genova, Italy, Colorado, and everything in between. We definitely recommend to anyone looking to have fun learning and to gain some awesome tips on exploring the city! So fun and delicious!
- My fiancé and I had such a wonderful time with Tiziana and Roberto! Tiziana has everything masterfully set up in the kitchen and Roberto has such great knowledge of the city and Genovese history! They make an awesome team and excellent instructors. I can't wait to try the recipes we learned with Tiziana. We will definitely book another class on our next trip to Genoa.
