What You’ll Experience

Join Patrizia for an authentic Ligurian cooking class in her home in Porto Maurizio, Imperia, one of the most charming neighborhoods on the Italian Riviera. Her cuisine is deeply rooted in the traditions of Liguria and Italy, featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients and family recipes passed down through generations. During this hands-on cooking class in Imperia, you will learn to prepare two traditional Ligurian dishes from scratch. Begin with a demonstration of Liguria's iconic focaccia before helping Patrizia make fresh handmade pasta, typically tagliatelle, paired with pesto prepared the traditional way in a marble mortar. For dessert, choose between classic tiramisu, traditional Ligurian gobeletti (jam-filled pastries), or a light Marsala mousse. After cooking, enjoy the meal you helped prepare, accompanied by local wine, laughter, and conversation, just like friends gathered around the family table. Optional: Every Thursday, Patrizia offers a guided tour of the vibrant local market, where you'll discover fresh, seasonal ingredients that define Ligurian cuisine. After the market visit, enjoy a leisurely walk through Parasio, the historic medieval heart of Porto Maurizio.
