About this activity
Meet Chiara, a real Genoese, who has also lived abroad for a long time. She is pleased to open her home to all curious travelers who want to experience a real "Genoese lunch".
His home is located in Nervi, one of the most beautiful areas of Genoa, known and frequented since the nineteenth century by the élite of international tourism for its incredibly happy location, washed by the sea and protected from the cold winds by a crown of mountains that descend on the renowned "Golfo Paradiso".
From the windows of the house of Chiara you will enjoy an unmissable view that goes from the promontory of Portofino to the east to Capo Mele to the west, thus including the entire Gulf of Genoa.
You will start the lesson preparing the pesto sauce for the pasta. Then, learn how to prepare famous Panzanella, an incredibly tasty local appetizer.
Once the work is completed, you will enjoy the meal and the dishes tasting with the chef. You will also learn to combine the local recipes with fine Italian wine, which of course you will taste. After the lesson, you will receive a paper with all the recipes prepared with the chef.
Sample Menu
• Panzanella
• Trofiette pasta with pesto sauce
• Chicken at the Genoese with roasted potatoes
• Home made Yogurt Cake (or canestrellini liguri di Pannarello)

Our family of four went to the cooking class, aIong with 3 other ladies on May 25th, 2018. The advertisement for the class mentions he and she that his name is Chiara and that he has extensive cooking experience, but it was a female who led the class. If you can call it a class. We were VERY disappointed considering we didn't get a chance to cook things listed on the menu, except for the pasta we all got turns kneading the dough, making the pesto and to bread the anchovies. The menu mentions: 1 PANZANELLA, appetizer 2 main : trofiette pasta with pesto sauce 3 second : Chicken at the Genoese with roasted potatoes 4 dessert : Home made Yogurt Cake or canestrellini liguri di Pannarello 5 Authentic Moka Coffe. It also mentions that the house is in Nervi, which it wasn't. Not sure how we got so mislead. We were served focaccia which wasn't that fresh, and possibly boughten, pasta with pesto, fried anchovies which are very cheap and ample to buy at this time of year, according to the hostess, and boughten gelato. We did have some wine and an espresso. At a 106./person we were a family of 4, I would say that at a maximum, the meal would have cost 100. in total. The hostess was a very nice lady, but this cooking class was rip-off, and would not recommend anyone to take it.
