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.

- Bellisima focaccia!
- Tiziana and Roberto were so welcoming and kind. We felt right at home and were given the cooking lesson of a lifetime. We learned so much and we were stunned at how hospitable they were. Highly recommend this cooking class to anyone who is a fan of authentic Italian cooking. Thank you Roberto and Tiziana.
- We had an amazing experience! They made us feel welcomed and they had so much to teach us. We were very lucky to experience it being a small group and being able to prepare 2 pastas and the tiramisu! Tiziana was patient and gave us good tips and instructions! Roberto was very helpful to translate some information and also give us recommendations of things to do in the area! They have a beautiful home and this was definitely the highlight of our trip! Thank you again!
- I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Tiziana & Roberto were excellent hosts. And Tiziana guided us through making tiramisu, ravioli, and the Ligurian regional pasta, corzetti. I learned a lot and gained the confidence I need to try making pasta when I return home.
- What an amazing experience. We had such a great time with Tiziana and Roberto. They were so welcoming and made the experience. The food and teaching were fantastic. I would recommend this experience. It is a must-do.
