Step into a real Genovese kitchen and experience the heart of Italian cuisine in this hands-on cooking class with a local host. This immersive culinary experience takes you beyond restaurants and into the home of a passionate cook eager to share family recipes and Ligurian food traditions.

You’ll start by getting to know the fresh, seasonal ingredients typical of Liguria: fragrant basil, rich olive oil, Parmigiano, pine nuts, and more. Then, roll up your sleeves to prepare fresh pasta from scratch—perhaps trofie or tagliatelle—guided step-by-step by your host.

The highlight of the class is learning how to make traditional pesto alla genovese, the way it’s been done for centuries—by hand with a mortar and pestle. You’ll discover the stories and techniques behind this iconic sauce and why its flavor is unmatched when made fresh.

Once the cooking is done, sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labor: served with local Ligurian wine.
