Description
Anna is glad to welcome you in her own house and private kitchen and show you how to prepare authentic Ligurian recipes she collected by local grannies. You will experience a genuine Italian atmosphere while putting your hands on ingredients (some of them directly from Anna's garden) and tools. Under Anna's guide you will have real fun preparing Ligurian dishes such as Pansotti with walnut sauce, Lasagne with basil pesto, Stuffed vegetables, fish soups, Farinata, Pasqualina pie and much more.
As a deserved plus you will also have a full meal in the garden at the end of your cooking session, enjoying a fantastic view over the sea.
From 2 to 8 people per class are accepted in Anna's kitchen, but if you are a group already renting your vacations accommodation in the area with an independent kitchen , Anna is available to reach you and hold the class in your place. Bookings are accepted from 12 to 24 hours prior the class starting time.
You can join Anna's cooking classes any time as no fixed schedule is set up. Anna will make up the classes according with the bookings received.
As final alternative you can ask Anna to be simply your cook on demand for a special event in your holiday villa or house or apartment, or simply for avoiding you cooking one or more meal yourself during your stay. She will be able to arrange genuine Italian menus for your meals, according to your taste and need.
