Overview

Is a very much hands on cooking class and in this very private experience you will discover and enjoy the traditions of local cuisine, how italians cook for themselves and not for tourists, for this reason the class starts with a visit at the most famous and old local market of the city, to shop our fresh ingredients, before we go to enjoy the class in a private house.
You will learn difference between short and long pasta, when and why we use them and the different seasonings, gnocchi, pizza, also the difference between dry and fresh mozzarella, when to use one or the other. We are in the country of Basil, pesto sauce is made by basil, but not the common one, the ligurian one, very much different in size, color and parfume and this is only an idea of the amazing day you will experience!
