Ciao da Barbara!

Ciao, sono Barbara! Sono nata nel Golfo dei Poeti, da madre sarda e padre genovese, e ho trascorso la mia infanzia con i miei adorati nonni. Mi piace definirmi cittadina del mondo, ma ho un forte legame con la mia terra e le nostre tradizioni, come mio marito Stefano. Insieme vogliamo condividere la nostra passione per la cucina e le nostre radici con altri appassionati e curiosi.Fin da bambina ho sviluppato una forte passione per la cucina, grazie alla mia nonna che mi ha insegnato a sperimentare e ad assaggiare nuovi sapori. Sono sempre stata avventurosa e ho assaggiato tutte le ricette originali dei vari paesi del mondo, ma la cucina ligure resta la mia prediletta.Abbiamo deciso di aprire le porte della nostra casa, situata sui terrazzamenti delle Cinque Terre sopra a Riomaggiore, per condividere la nostra passione per la cucina e la cultura locale. Per noi, la cucina è il modo migliore per raccontare la storia della nostra terra e tramandare la vera tradizione ligure ad altri. Siamo entusiasti di poter condividere questo viaggio culinario con voi!

: 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!
: Our cooking class was absolutely wonderful! Barbara and Stefano were so inviting and taught us a lot about Italian cuisine and culture. They opened their beautiful home and we felt so welcomed. The whole experience so fun! We went away with fresh knowledge, full stomachs and warm hearts! Would do this again!
: Barbara and Stefano are amazing hosts, chefs, and teachers! They are also a heckuva lot of fun to spend an afternoon with. We learned so much in our time with them about making fresh pasta (tagliatelle, tortelle), bruschetta (5 varieties), and tiramisu. We also learned about the unique culture of Cinque Terre, what it is like to live in a UNESCO heritage site, and enjoyed our time with Anna and Julia (the dogs). They were so generous with their time and knowledge we cannot recommend this experience enough.
: Wow! Words can't even describe how amazing this experience was! Barbara and Stefano were the most wonderful hosts, and we learned so much from their cooking class. Spending time chatting with them and enjoying delicious food in their beautiful home was a true highlight of our trip! This was something we will never forget.
