From warm, crispy Genoese focaccia to fragrant homemade pesto, to freshly baked focaccia with stringy cheese (Recco-style)... and much more. All served and paired with a chilled Vermentino, perfect for enhancing the flavours of our region. I bring authentic Ligurian tradition straight into your living room: I cook and serve, and you enjoy a totally relaxing evening. I'll take care of the final tidy-up of the kitchen.

A selection of appetisers evocative of autumn in Liguria and Lower Piedmont, such as: Bruschetta with Pumpkin Cream, Burrata and Anchovies, Bruschetta with Robiola Cheese, Blackberries and Thyme, Genoese Focaccia with Gorgonzola and Blackberries, Open Lasagnetta with Homemade Genoese Pesto, Gnocchetti with Taleggio Cheese and Pink Peppercorns, “Sticky” Barbecued Beef Meatballs with Blueberries, Grape Cups with Mascarpone Cream, Dark Chocolate and Hazelnut Tart... all washed down with local wine

A classic, comforting meal that begins with a traditional starter: the iconic trofie pasta with fresh basil pesto, potatoes and green beans. This is followed by a delicate catch of the day baked with Taggiasca olives and, finally, a traditional dessert.

What you'll be making: Trofie (pasta that is an icon of Liguria) and Corzetti (ancient pasta shaped with a wooden stamp), pesto made in a mortar and another accompanying sauce. Dinner will begin with a small appetiser accompanied by a local wine, followed by two pasta dishes and, to finish, a classic tiramisu for everyone. If you wish, you can customise the menu by adding other dishes.

You can ask this chef to create a meal around your preferences.
