Our Story in Genoa

Meet Your Chefs

Hello, my name is Lucrezia! It all started ten years ago when my mother, Chef Aurora, had the idea to host cooking classes in her home kitchen for food lovers and curious individuals. People from all over the world came to my mom’s kitchen to learn how to cook their favorite Italian dishes.

At the time, we were located in Milan and called our venture Cookandine: Learn to Cook Italian Dishes and Dine with a Local Italian Chef.

As things began to take off, I returned to Italy after traveling and working abroad as a chef to help my mom grow this unique experience. The satisfaction of happy guests and their wonderful feedback made it all worthwhile!

Flavors have a special power to unite us, regardless of where we come from, and help us overcome our differences. This is the main reason we love to share our passion with everyone and open our home to those interested in taking a piece of Italy back to their own countries.

Choose your menu from our suggested list of recipes and join us in Genoa. For any questions please contact us.

We also have a larger venue for corporate groups and team buildings in Milan. If you wish to embark a teambuilding with a cooking class to boos some team spirit, visit Teamcookingmilan, corporate events.

Testimonials

Excellent experience!

“We had an excellent experience learning to make traditional lasagna, eggplant dish, and caprese cake. Last week, we prepared the lasagna sauce and it was simply amazing! The chef was very nice and patient with us. She showed us a lot of tricks and provided quick reminders. The kitchen space was spacious, spotless, and very professional. Bon appétit to all the new students. Enjoy the delicious food!”

My partner accompanied me to a cooking class, even though he wasn’t interested, because he knew how much it meant to me. We both had a great time and enjoyed the experience. The instructor, Lucrezia, was amazing and the food we made was delicious and easy to prepare. Everything was perfect, and if we ever come back to Milan, we will do this again. I cannot express how much we enjoyed this class and how professional Aurora was. The experience went beyond our expectations.

Fabulous cooking class experience

“This experience was exactly what we were looking for. We had an intimate setting, one-on-one instruction, lots of great cooking tips, fun company, and an amazing finished product! And the best part is, we don’t even drink wine 🙂

Our group of four friends is excited to recreate these recipes at home, and we are grateful for feeling confident enough to do so after this experience.”

Lu was an amazing teacher! Even though we are experienced cooks, we learned a lot from Lu’s cooking class. And the best part was the food – it was absolutely delicious! We were surprised to find out that we had been making bolognese in a much more complicated way than necessary. Lu showed us that simple is truly the best. During the class, we talked, laughed, and enjoyed the food. It was the perfect dinner experience!
