Cooking lesson Ligurian fish specialities with visit to the market

Your culinary experience starts with a short stroll through La Speziaand a visit to its beautiful market: see the fish sellers with the fresh fish and seafood, find the regional vegetables: depending on the season there are juicy tomatoes, green asparagus, aromatic mushrooms or the precious artichokes. With Marta, your cook, you buy freshly the things you'll need to prepare your lunch. After the market visit do it like the locals: we invite you to a short stop in a typical café to have your «Italian breakfast» — a cappuccino and a fresh made croissant or better: the Ligurian focaccia.

Then you go on to the «Osteria», a beautiful little restaurant which today gives us its kitchen for this beautiful lesson.  During the preparation of delicious seafood meals, Marta wants to get across the idea of Slow Food: to create traditional dishes using local ingredients as much as possible and with the lowest environmental impact. That sounds complicated but the results are incredibly mouth-watering dishes! You will be surprised by the simple finesse of the dishes you are going to prepare — using only few but high quality ingredients. At the end you will enjoy one of the most delicious lunches of your life — prepared by yourself!
