  After exploring global cuisines, Patrizia chose to make her home in Liguria, a region known for its authentic and robust flavors.

Each session is engaging, enjoyable, and concludes with a meal, just like in Ligurian households.

Patrizia welcomes guests in English, German, and Italian, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Genoese focaccia – crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, made with simple yet authentic ingredients.
Handmade fresh pasta – such as trofie, tagliatelle, or gnocchi, kneaded and shaped by participants.
Mortar-made pesto – prepared in the traditional way, with fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan, and Ligurian olive oil.

At the end, participants sit down to enjoy the meal they’ve prepared, perhaps with a glass of local wine.
The class is suitable for everyone, including beginners in the kitchen.
