    We will learn together, hands-on, some basic Italian pastry basics. We will prepare classic sponge cake, ideal for cakes to be filled and decorated. We will make different versions of shortcrust pastry: classic shortcrust with flour, eggs, sugar and butter; oil shortcrust, which uses oil instead of butter; and light shortcrust, without eggs. In addition, we will make custard and chocolate custard. With these preparations, we will create small treats to taste together, to end our experience in sweetness.

    Clara was an exceptional instructor and did a wonderful job with the course and inviting us into her home. We were greeted with wine and charcoutery and began by making our tirimisu. We made each event into a competition of whose plate appeared to be the most aesthetically pleasing. She allowed me to take videos and repeated instructions if needed to ensure we understood things throoughly. She was very kind, and we felt comfortable dining in her home with her children and husband present.

    We highly recommend this cooking class with Clara! It was such a unique experience for our family. Clara is a wonderful teacher and chef. We started the morning by making Tiramisu. Then we made ravioli and cavatelli. Clara was is clearly an expert and truly loves to cook. The food was AMAZING! We loved that we made the food in Clara’s kitchen. It was truly a unique and memorable experience for us. ❤️

    We had the pleasure of taking a cooking class where we made homemade pasta and tiramisu, and we were lucky enough to have Clara as our host. Clara made the entire experience unforgettable. She was incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming, instantly making us feel at ease in her beautiful family home. Her warmth, along with that of her entire family, created such a special atmosphere. This was truly a highlight of our trip to Sorrento—an experience we’ll always remember fondly.

    We spent a wonderful evening with Clara in her home, cooking together and eating her beautifully prepared dishes. We appreciated the thought and care that she put into our food, and the conversation we shared during a very pleasant evening. We would highly recommend booking with her for an authentic regional experience. Clara is an excellent cook, teacher, and hostess and we would return again, if the opportunity presents itself. Thank you, Clara!

    My name is Clara, born in Paris to Campanian parents. I lived in Sorrento until the age of 18, and then I traveled around the world for work. I immediately fell in love with trying international and multicultural cuisine, and while working on cruise ships as a hotel manager, I learned firsthand how to navigate large kitchens on 4-star floating hotels. It was there that my passion for pastry also emerged, leading me to deepen my studies at Compait and attend various courses for artisan bread-making. I greatly enjoy teaching what has always been a profound passion of mine. My specialties undoubtedly include desserts, artisan bread, basic pastry, and the traditional sweets of my region. Pastiera, sfogliatelle, and other delights. I also love making pizza and fresh pasta with great enthusiasm.
