You'll be warmly welcomed and immediately immersed in the relaxed atmosphere of authentic Ligurian cuisine. After a small snack and a glass of wine, the experience begins with a brief introduction to the typical ingredients of Liguria – the best olive oil, fresh basil, flour, and selected regional products.

The cooking class takes place in the heart of Imperia Porto Maurizio, lasts about 4-5 hours, and is deliberately designed to feel like a holiday within a holiday – no rush, no stress, just enjoyment and real dolce vita.

Step by step, you'll start with the focaccia: you'll knead the dough, learn the right resting time, and press the classic dimples with your fingers before it comes out of the oven golden yellow and fragrant. Then you'll prepare pesto in a mortar, very traditionally, and experience how flavours and aromas unfold under your hands.

Then it's time for fresh pasta: you'll make the dough yourself, shape it, and learn simple, authentic techniques that you can use at home. If you like, the cooking class can be customised – tailored to your interests, your level, or for special occasions.

At the end, we'll sit down together at the table and enjoy the home-cooked dishes in peace. During the meal, I'll tell you about Ligurian traditions, everyday life, and the real Ligurian lifestyle, accompanied by good Ligurian wine – an enjoyable moment of sharing, laughter, and an authentic Italian way of life.
