Would you like to discover the secrets of Neapolitan pizza? At my home, you can enjoy an authentic cooking experience where I'll introduce you to one of the pillars of Campania's culinary culture, famous throughout the world. Like any good person from Campania, pizza is one of our favorite dishes, and I'll share with you my personal recipe, handed down from generation to generation.
We'll start with a typical traditional appetizer, prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients. The main course will be Pizza Margherita, which we'll top with tomatoes from my own garden, fresh basil, and, most importantly, fresh mozzarella. Finally, we'll make a traditional Italian dessert to conclude our experience. This will be an opportunity to learn the tricks and secrets of pizza making!

- Maria Francesca gave us an amazing experience on learning to make gnocchi, ravioli and tiramisu. She explained things well to us and walked us through each step. Maria Francesca's bubbly personality helped make the class a fun experience and a gracious host. Her offering to come pick us up at our hotel to take us to her house was an added bonus, especially since her house is a bit remote from where we were and hard to find. Since there were six of us she enlisted a family member to help transport us all to and from her home. We definitely tested her skills as we were the largest group she has ever had. It was a learning experience for her to have a group that large. Time management was the largest challenge because of that. My recommendation would be for her to have a handout with the recipes for the gnocchi, ravioli and tiramisu. And this is the reason I only gave 4 stars. If I could give an extra 1/2 star I would because Maria worked with us after the fact to get us recipes via messaging app. We would definitely recommend Maria Francesca to anyone to do a pasta class with. And if we ever go back to that region we would definitely try and book her again with her teaching us how to make some different pastas.
- Maria Francesca was fantastic! She picked us up and took us to her home, was well-prepared for our group, helped us make great pasta, and made the night super fun.
- This is by far one of my favorite things we did on our trip to Italy! It was lovely getting to meet a local cook and see her home and talk to her. We were with Maria Francesca and she was so kind and fun! She even picked us up and dropped us off which was a huge help! She also boxed up the leftovers for us. Maria Francesca answered all of our questions and made great conversation all while keeping careful watch of the food and preparations. I am a horrible cook but under her instruction we had the best dinner we've had so far! I would absolutely do this again with Maria!
- Fun! Creative and delicious experience!!
- She was amazing! Will request her again!

Where
Maria Francesca
Cesarina from 2022Location: Sorrento Languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian"The passion for cooking was born when, back in Italy, my grandfather left me a garden in the hills of Sorrento that I started to cultivate with my brother. The fact that I have such fresh raw materials has led me to investigate how to cook them. My land offers genuine products that I grow in my garden and, thanks to the lemons of my citrus grove, I make a delicious caprese lemon. I love receiving guests, hospitality and innate in me."
