PRIVATE COOKING CLASS IN VILLA

Have you rented a wonderful villa to spend your holidays here in the sunny Italian Riviera with family and friends? Do you want to exploit it as much as possible and feel it as your home?

Maybe you are also looking for a funny activity to do with your kids but you wish not to spend your precious holiday time organizing, planning ad traveling far from your private paradise?

Well, here I am!

I can organize for you a private Ligurian cooking class in your wonderful villa for all your family and friends!

I will take care of everything. You will spend half a day cooking with me, learning the basics of Italian cuisine, touching and smelling the freshest products of this sunny land, having fun and playing with your beloved one, listening to the stories I will tell you, tasting the traditional Ligurian dishes made from scratch by you and discovering a selection of exclusive local products and goodies scouted by me that I will take to your home (such as cheeses, charcuteries, candies, wine and spirits).

For a day you will let Liguria and its amazing food in your home. For a day you will feel like being part of a big Ligurian family cooking together with your nonna (though I’m not so old, ah ah!).

All in your house, hassle- free!
