Private Experience
Your experience
  • Farinata (a traditional flat bread)
  • Portofino lasagna
  • Rose cake

The crispy farinata made from chickpea flour is an ancient Genoese culinary tradition, found in historic shops and old Genoa's fry houses. Learning to make it at home and serving it to guests means mastering the art of using humble yet quality ingredients to create a unique dish that combines taste and simplicity.

Portofino lasagna features fresh pasta, smothered in DOP Genoese pesto, and baked: it's a traditional dish that rivals haute cuisine. Finally, the Rose Cake, which won me first prize in a best cake competition: sharing this dessert with you truly means leaving a part of my personal cooking experience and tradition.

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.

Cesarina from 2022Location: Genoa    Languages: Italian and English
"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 ".
