Detailed description

Private cooking class in Genoa with 3 traditional dishes and first focaccia and wine

The cooking class in Genoa, the beautiful Italian port city, starts directly at the famous weekly market Piazza Palmero in the Genova Foce district. You can stroll together through the lively rows and take in the colourful hustle and bustle of the market while procuring fresh ingredients for the preparation of the local dishes. The cooking school in Genoa is located in the nearby old Boccadasse fishing district. In this picturesque and above all authentic setting you will prepare three typical Ligurian dishes: Pesto alla Genovese, Trofie and Canestrelli. You will be familiar with the former, as it can be found on almost every supermarket shelf.

So the cooking class in Genoa will be really delicious. To get you in the mood for cooking, you'll first get traditional focaccia and a glass of wine. Then you start with the Pesto making class in Genoa. The Pesto alla Genovese is known beyond the borders of Italy. It consists above all of basil, parmesan, pine nuts and olive oil. The ingredients are crushed with the mortar and pestle. Already the wonderful smell is already a real delight. Then we continue with the Ligurian pasta speciality Trofie. These are twisted noodles made of durum wheat semolina with pointed ends. Of course, they are hand formed. Don't worry, your cooking instructor will show you how exactly this works!

Something sweet should also not be missing from the Genoa cooking course. Together you will make Canestrelli, an Italian pastry that is very popular in Liguria. You can take some of the delicious homemade biscuits home with you to enjoy later. Spend delightful hours with your loved ones and experience a holiday activity of a special kind, away from mass tourism. Go on a culinary tour in Genoa, the charming capital of Liguria, and learn more about Italian cuisine! And the best thing is, you can always cook the traditional recipes at home! In combination with the market, you experience a genoa food tour that shows you the city from its authentic side!

Delicious and good cooking starts with shopping

So it is only logical that this offer at the market begins with shopping for the ingredients. Already here you can do a lot wrong. The three-course menu was prepared with a lot of fun and delicious taste. 5 cooking hats from me!

Leckeres und gutes Kochen beginnt beim Einkaufen

So ist es nur konsequent, dass dieses Angebot auf dem Markt mit dem Einkaufen der Zutaten beginnt. Schon hier kann man einiges falsch machen. Das drei Gänge-Menü wurde mit viel Spaß und leckerem Geschmack zubereitet. 5 Kochmützen von mir!

I liked the offer

In my opinion, three hours is too little time to really immerse yourself in the art of cooking. That's why I only give it four stars!

Mir gefiel das Angebot gut

M.E.n. sind drei Stunden zu wenig Zeit, um wirklich intensiv in die Küchenkunst einzutauchen. Deshalb gibt es nur vier Sterne von mir!

Authentic Italian cuisine - here you are very close to it

I am a hobby cook and love Italian cuisine in all its variations. This reasonably priced offer is way better than the VHS course at home. Highly recommended.

Authentische italienische Küche – hier ist man ihr ganz nah

Ich bin Hobbykoch und liebe die italienische Küche in allen ihren Variationen. Dieses preisgünstige Angebot ist um Längen besser als der heimische VHS-Kurs. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Der Kochkurs hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen
Wir lernten die Zubereitung von einigen Gaumenschmäusen, die wir gerne zu Hause nachkochen. Eine der besten Urlaubs-Souveniers

Cooking is my passion.

That was the best holiday activity during my Italy holiday in 2021. Away from the hustle and bustle, but conjuring up real delicacies in a typical environment and in a typical kitchen. I'll be back…!

Kochen ist meine Leidenschaft.

Das war die beste Urlaubsaktivität während meines Italien Urlaubs 2021. Abseits vom Trubel, aber in typischer Umgebung und in einer typischen Küche echte Leckereien zu zaubern. Ich komme wieder…!

This is NOT Italian cuisine…

Would be something like "German cuisine" - there isn't either. Just as we speak of Rhenish, Bavarian, etc. specialties, this cooking class (consequently because in Genoa) is a Ligurian one! The wine was delicious too.

Das ist NICHT italienische Küche…

Wäre so ähnlich, wie „deutsche Küche“ – gibt es auch nicht. So wie wir von rheinischen, bayerischen usw. Spezialitäten sprechen, ist dieser Kochkurs (konsequent, weil in Genua) ein ligurischer! Der Wein war auch lecker.

The ambiance was a dream.

Everything was just right, the ambience, the teacher, the recipes, a really great cooking class. Will try it at home. Great dishes.

Das Ambiente war ein Träumchen.

Alles rundum hat gepasst, das Ambiente, der Lehrmeister, die Rezepte, ein wirklich toller Kochkurs. Werde es zu Hause ausprobieren. Tolle Gerichte.

Authentic cooking class, not a second regretted!

We took delicious recipes home with us and such an authentic cooking course is a completely different thing than looking for recipes on the internet! Gladly again...

Authentischer Kochkurs, keine Sekunde bereut!

Wir haben leckere Rezepte mit nach Hause genommen und so ein authentischer Kochkurs ist nochmals ne ganz andere Nummer, als aus dem Internet die Rezepte rauszusuchen! Gerne wieder...
