Autenthic ligurian Cooking Class Kochkurs

About this tour

Roll up your sleeves in a Ligurian home kitchen to master Italian fundamentals: hand-rolled pasta, mortar-ground pesto, pillowy focaccia, and layered tiramisu. This five-hour session pairs technique with storytelling, drawing on seasonal local produce and the instructor's family traditions. You'll cook alongside your host, ask questions freely, and eat what you've made. Classes run in English, Italian, or German, and the menu shifts based on your interests.

What to expect

You'll spend the afternoon in an authentic kitchen, not a tourist studio. Expect your hands in dough, flour on your apron, and genuine instruction from someone who cooks this way daily. The pace is unhurried; you're learning methods, not racing through steps. Your instructor will share why each ingredient matters and how families in the region have prepared these dishes for generations. By lunch, you'll sit down to eat what you've prepared, often with local wine included.
