What truly sets this experience apart is the involvement of our family: the class is conducted by us alongside Gaia, our daughter, who was the youngest finalist at the World Pesto Championship in Genoa (March 2026).
This is more than just a cooking class; it is a genuine connection to Ligurian culture, traditions, and family hospitality.
