This was a unique experience. Anna was the best host and took good care of us. We got to taste local recipies and her familys own twist to some of them.
The class is held in very small groups normally and this time it happened to be just us and Anna. Absolutely recommend this for anyone wanting to try local recipies at the home of a local.

Wir haben zu viert einen Kochkurs bei Anna gemacht. Wir durften viele verschiede italienische Gerichte mit ihr zubereiten und konnten dabei viel lernen. Die Atmosphäre war sehr angenehm. Wir hatten eine sehr sehr schöne Zeit und können den Kurs nur weiterempfehlen.

One of the best cooking class experiences we’ve ever had, both in the food made and the overall experience!! :) Being situated in her beautiful home in a quaint part of Genoa, it automatically felt as if we were visiting a friend. Anna greeted us with such warmth and made us feel at home immediately. We absolutely loved getting to connect with her throughout the class, as the conversation flowed so easily as we prepped all the dishes. The dishes we made — handmade pesto, focaccia, stuffed zucchini, & tiramisu — were all so delicious that we left excited to make them at home. Anna made the dishes VERY approachable yet authentic. We learned what to focus on in a recipe (quality/specific ingredients) and what we didn’t have to fuss over. The way in which we learned felt so personal, like a friend or family member teaching you their favorite recipes. We also loved naturally learning some more Italian phrases :) Grazie mille, Anna, per una esperienza d’avaramente meravigliosa! 🤗

Anna welcomed us into her bright kitchen that was perfect for the class of four. Because of her experience, our class transitioned smoothly from course to course so that by the end, the food was fresh. Anna explained the importance of each ingredient and answered all our curious questions.
The courses may vary, but in our class we made focaccia, tiramisu, eggplant pizza, and pesto which we then enjoyed with trofie. We enjoyed wine with our meal as well! The most hands-on dish was the pesto where we each had our own mortar and pestle. I did not feel rushed and overall, the class felt relaxed. Anna also remembered my partner’s (and another participant) food sensitivities.
Thank you Anna for welcoming us into your home and sharing your recipes!
