  • 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.

Tiziana è una bravissima cuoca, chef e Cesarina. Ci ha insegnato a fare un tiramisù spaziale, , poi i pansotti al sugo di noci, buonissimi,,e abbiamo imparato a fare la pasta fresca. La focaccia è veramente buonissima. Grazie veramente: esperienza bellissima.

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.

"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 ".
