Things to do in Italian Riviera, Liguria: The Best Cooking Classes

March 6, 2022 Roger Rusk

Liguria, or the Italian Riviera, boasts a bounty of beaches and resort towns, such as tiny but tony Portofino and stylish Rapallo. Hiking trails lead from Portofino to the villages of Cinque Terre. The Riviera of the Setting Sun runs north from Genoa to the French border. Connected by an extensive rail network, most towns make easy daytrips from one another. Genoa is the region's principal city and is home to attractions from its famous Cathedral and the Palazzo Reale to an excellent aquarium.

I had the chance to be in a group that participated in a cooking lesson with Mario & Cristina. Both of them very warm hearted, made it a very unique and memorable experience on how to make the original Pesto Genovese! I don’t think I have enough words to express my enthusiasm for that day. It was an unforgettable event from start to end, with teaching, testing, practicing, tasting and getting also a history lesson in the beautiful palazzo! I would recommend it with all my heart to anyone who is thinking of visiting the incredible city of Genova!! I give it a pure 10 with a golden star!! Thank you Mario & Cristina!!!❤️

Our school is set in a stunning location in Monterosso, Italy high on the mountainside! We offer much more than just a Cooking experience, we would like to show you our passion for food which starts right from planting and cultivating! Our lessons are great fun for all the family with discounts available for children and large groups.. Special occasions can also be catered for and gift vouchers are also available.

Vegetarian or Gluten free options are available. We now also run a Pesto Masterclass every evening at 5.00pm.. This is a shorter class than our main lesson and you will be preparing dinner rather than lunch.. Both the Cooking Lessons and also the Pesto Masterclass are held every day.

We had a great experience at the Cinque Terre Cooking School. We were picked up promptly at the arranged time and brought to the site. Our teacher, Mr. Mendez, was very knowledgeable and skillful; entertaining too. We learned how to make pesto the traditional way, as well as an excellent baked sea bass. Also, gnocchi, stuffed vegetables and a delicious cake. To top it off, we were able to enjoy our cooking on their lovely terrace overlooking Monterosso al Mare below. What a wonderful day!
