We spent a rainy morning in Genoa with two of the loveliest people in Italy, Tiziana and Roberto. They welcomed us into their home. We made pasta, ravioli and Tiramisu - and a lifelong memory. Tiziana also made fresh focaccia. The smell of the fresh bread baking as we made our pasta was incredible. Roberto had made fresh pesto for the pasta - it was heavenly! As we shared our meal, Roberto provided a history lesson on Genoa and it's importance in history. We sat and chatted, drinking prosecco, and swapping stories. When it was time to leave, we all shed a tear. It was as if we were leaving a friend's home. Due to the rain, Roberto gave us an impromptu guided tour along the backstreets to hail us a taxi to take us back to the port. This was more than a 'cooking class', it was a life changing experience. Roberto left us with one request - to take some focaccia back with us, and while holding your coffee in your left hand, dip the focaccia 3 times with your right hand and ENJOY!! We did, and we DID! Che Dio benedica Tiziana e Roberto
