Hello There!

I’m Enrica, the face and soul behind A Small Kitchen in Genoa.

My mother and my grandmother, two great cooks, put skillets and spoons in my hands since I was tall enough to get to the cookers and taught me to love through cooking.

In this blog I tell my personal journey into the culinary heritage of the Italian Riviera, also by sharing our family recipes.

Take a break, pull up a chair and taste the Italian Riviera

Let me tell you a story about Ligurian cuisine

[Eng/ita] Two days ago I spent a wonderful morning cooking in my small kitchen in Genoa with @alicesadventuresinwonderland . We baked, took pictures, tasted everything more than once and had a lot of fun. One of the results of this venture are these incredibly good GOBELETTI, an Italian Riviera traditional shortbread cookie stuffed with jam. In my Christmas decadent variation they are filled with (chinotto) marmalade and dark chocolate chunks 😋😋😋. Now they are in our belly (or probably already in our thighs 😅). For you, if you are curious, recipe will be soon on the blog and on IG (just the time to jot it down)😊😊😊.
🇮🇹 Due giorni fa con la mia amica Gaia (aka @alicesadventuresinwonderland ) ci siamo prese un momento per noi e abbiamo cucinato, fatto foto, assaggiato, chiacchierato di bimbi, di progetti e di sogni. Uno dei risultati della bella mattina passata insieme sono questi Gobeletti, dei pasticcini della tradizione ligure fatto di pasta frolla ripiena di marmellata. Nella mia versione Natalizia ci sono dentro marmellata di #chinottodiliguria e scaglie di cioccolato amaro. Loro adesso sono finiti nelle nostre pance ( e probabilmente già nelle mie cosce). Per voi arriverà presto la ricetta qui su IG e sul blog ovviamente! Stay tuned!! ☺️. #asmallkitcheningenoa #myliguriantable #gobeletti #ricetteliguri #cucinaligure #liguriafood #lamialiguria #genoacookingclasses #italianriviera #eattheworld #italianfoodstyle #eatmunchies #italiancooking #mangiareitaliano #italianrecipe #lifeandthyme #bakingfun #feedfeedbaking @thefeedfeed.baking #realsimple #whatitalyis #inmykitchen #rslove #patisserie #tasteintravel #genovamorethanthis #igersgenova #liguria_super_pics

Here they are: delicious mom’s savoy cabbage rolls. Fresh and crunchy cabbage leaves stuffed with cabbage (again), veggies, mortadella and fresh herbs. This is definitely not a last minute recipe but indeed it is easy and the time and love you spend in the preparation make the result special! You can have them alone or to season white rice or polenta!
Recipe is in the blog achieves!

Yesterday I noticed that sole pear tree in the park with all its yellow leaves on the floor and I eventually realized that autumn had arrived.

Glimpse of happiness from a day spent into the wild. We foraged chestnuts, mushrooms, blackberries, saffron flowers. We met wild cows with their newborn veals and , incredible, wild horses in the woods. This is #ValGraveglia, one of the narrow valleys of the Italian Riviera peacefully leading to the sea.

Scatti di felicità da una giornata passata immersi nella natura. Abbiamo raccolto castagne, more, funghi, fiore di Croco per fare il risotto allo zafferano e bacche di ginepro. Abbiamo incontrato una mandria di mucche con tantissimi i vitelli appena nati e, incredibile, cavalli selvatici che pascolavano nel bosco! Questa è la Val Graveglia, una delle tante valli liguri che dai monti, silenziose, portano al mare.

One of the most important ingredients in my Ligurian cuisine is extra virgin olive oil. Countless are the times I grab the oil bottle when I cook, at home or during my cooking classes. But one of the best way to understand the magic of this liquid gold is to taste it alone. This is way I usually serve to my guest some extra virgin olive oil of our family olive groove to taste and before tasting I say "take a piece of bread, dip it in the oil bowl, sprinkle with few salt, close your eyes and bite". The most frequent expression is "amazing!" *
