Spend a delightful morning in the quiet seaside village of Recco. Take part in an immersive culinary experience with a local chef. Discover the quaint town, shop for fresh ingredients at the local market, cook a three-course meal as you gaze at the ocean, and taste your delicious creation.
Meet your guide at the Recco train station for a quick walk through town before heading over to the market to buy the fresh ingredients needed for your cooking class. Experience the local lifestyle of a traditional Italian village and learn about the changes Liguria has seen throughout the years.
After shopping, visit a typical Genoese house surrounded by lush vegetation. Step into the garden overlooking the ocean, where you'll cook some traditional dishes with a touch of modernity. Listen to the chef's instructions to create a delicious meal you can enjoy afterward.
After lunch, rest and enjoy a digestive drink or have a swim in the ocean, taking advantage of the private access to the public beach.
