What to expect
After traveling the world and discovering many cuisines, I chose to settle in my beloved Liguria — a land of genuine, bold flavors.
In the heart of Imperia Porto Maurizio, I offer an authentic hands-on cooking class where I teach how to make Genoese focaccia, fresh pasta, and pesto made in a mortar.
Each lesson is practical, fun, and ends at the table — just like in Ligurian families.
I welcome guests in English, German, and Italian, in a warm and friendly setting.
Focaccia genovese – croccante fuori e morbida dentro, fatta con ingredienti semplici ma autentici.
Pasta fresca fatta a mano – come trofie, tagliatelle o gnocchi, impastata e formata da te.
Pesto al mortaio – preparato nel modo tradizionale, con basilico fresco, aglio, pinoli, parmigiano e olio ligure.
Tutti partecipano attivamente: impastiamo, stendiamo, pestiamo e cuciniamo insieme.
Alla fine, ci sediamo a tavola per gustare ciò che abbiamo preparato, accompagnato magari da un bicchiere di vino locale.
La lezione è adatta a tutti, anche a chi è alle prime armi in cucina.
Parlo italiano, inglese e tedesco, e creo un’atmosfera calda, divertente e autentica.
