Experience the art of Italian cooking in a breathtaking setting: nestled in the hills of Riomaggiore with views of the Cinque Terre coastline, in a picturesque stone house featuring a lovely outdoor patio and a charming olive grove. In this 3-hour class, you’ll learn how to make fluffy homemade gnocchi and authentic Genovese pesto, prepared in the traditional way using a mortar and pestle.

My husband and I select only the highest quality local ingredients: fresh basil, pine nuts, extra virgin olive oil, Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino Sardo. Immerse yourself in the peaceful atmosphere of our olive grove, savour your creations paired with local wines and enjoy seasonal fruit or a traditional dessert prepared just for you. It’s not just a cooking class: it’s a sensory journey!

Hi there, I'm Barbara!
 I was born in the Gulf of Poets, to a Sardinian mother and a Genoese father, and spent my childhood with my beloved grandparents. I like to think of myself as a citizen of the world, but I have a strong connection to my land and its traditions, as does my husband Stefano. Together, we want to share our passion for cooking and our roots with other enthusiasts and curious minds. Since I was a child, I developed a strong passion for cooking, thanks to my grandmother who taught me to experiment and taste new flavors. I have always been adventurous and have tried all the original recipes from different countries around the world, but Ligurian cuisine remains my favorite. We decided to open the doors of our house, located on the terraces of the Cinque Terre above Riomaggiore, to share our passion for cooking and local culture. For us, cooking is the best way to tell the story of our land and pass on the true Ligurian tradition to others. We are excited to share this culinary journey with guests from around the world!
