Bonjour de la part de Barbara !
Bonjour, je m'appelle Barbara ! Je suis née dans le Golfe des Poètes, d'une mère sarde et d'un père génois, et j'ai passé mon enfance avec mes grands-parents adorés. J'aime me définir comme une citoyenne du monde, mais j'ai un lien fort avec ma terre et nos traditions, tout comme mon mari Stefano. Ensemble, nous voulons partager notre passion pour la cuisine et nos racines avec d'autres passionnés et curieux. Depuis mon enfance, j'ai développé une forte passion pour la cuisine, grâce à ma grand-mère qui m'a appris à expérimenter et à goûter de nouvelles saveurs. J'ai toujours été aventureuse et j'ai goûté toutes les recettes originales des différents pays du monde, mais la cuisine ligure reste ma préférée. Nous avons décidé d'ouvrir les portes de notre maison, située sur les terrasses des Cinque Terre au-dessus de Riomaggiore, afin de partager notre passion pour la cuisine et la culture locale. Pour nous, la cuisine est le meilleur moyen de raconter l'histoire de notre terre et de transmettre la véritable tradition ligure à d'autres. Nous sommes ravis de pouvoir partager ce voyage culinaire avec vous !

- Barbara and Stefano were the perfect hosts. The class was very informative and hands-on. Getting there was a bit more difficult than anticipated. Take Barbara up on her offer of arranging taxi service to her house. In the end, the 100 treacherous stairs up the mountain were worth it but if you are not in really good shape it can be a problem.
- Perfetto!! The food, the hosts, the setting, the instruction, the dogs, the house…it was all magnificent! I can’t describe all of the different points of perfection, so I will just say that we would do it again, it was worth the money, and it was a top moment of our entire trip (which spanned 2 weeks in 4 different countries).
- Amazing! Barbara and Stefano were so welcoming. The views from the mountain side are spectacular. Barbara was very knowledgable and taught us how I imagine my mom would have taught me if she were Italian and made pasta, and Tiramisu. Side note just get a cab, the locator on whatever map you are looking at is wrong because that new modern device doesn’t have ancient Roman footpaths on it.
- Barbara and Stefano were nothing short of amazing. The view from their home in Riomaggiore felt like something out of a dream, very peaceful, expansive and unforgettable. But what made the experience truly special was them. It’s rare to be welcomed so warmly by locals, and even rarer to be invited into their kitchen to learn a treasured family recipe passed down through generations. We made pasta, bruschetta, and the most amazing tiramisu we have ever tasted. Their sweet dogs, Anna and Julie, made it all feel even more like home. Barbara and Stefano have such a deep love for food and tradition. Every ingredient had a purpose, every step had meaning. You could feel the care in the way they prepared everything, always with intention and always with heart. I’d do it all again in a heartbeat just to be in their presence, to share another meal, and to take in that stunning view. Thank you, Barbara and Stefano, for one of the most beautiful memories we will carry with us.
- This was an amazing authentic Ligurian experience! Barbara started the class by sitting down with us and we immediately felt welcomed and at home. She even helped set up the taxi for us and helped us find our way to her lovely home. Her and her husband stefano were so knowledgeable not only about the food but about the area. Learning her family recipes was an unforgettable experience and I can’t not mention the views that we had while enjoying the finished product. If you are in Riomaggiore, this class is a must!
