    We will visit my garden together, where I will tell you about the choice of vegetables and their seasonality. We will be able to harvest and cook them together, while I will teach you about the culture of Neapolitan cuisine using locally sourced ingredients.

    We will gather lemons from my orchard, and I will explain how to prepare a quality limoncello. You will taste the wine produced by my family and enjoy a wonderful view of Mount Vesuvius and the entire peninsula.

    I will teach you how to make lemon gelato using the fruits from my garden that we will harvest together, and I will explain how to use the peels to make excellent limoncello.

    Alessandra made our whole experience one of learning, culture and her hospitality in her home was amazing and very special. A truly wonderful way to experience the true Italian culture and cooking experience and skills, were fantastic. We have thoroughly enjoyed every minute and really do not want to leave! This memory will be in our hearts forever. A very special experience for mother and daughter and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you!

    Our day with Alessandra was absolutely wonderful. From the site seeing and photos, to the coffee shop and markets, we enjoyed learning about Sorrento from her. More than that, we enjoyed our special experience in her home and kitchen. The fresh pasta lesson was great and eating our meal on her deck with the most gorgeous view of Mt. Vesuvius was incredible. She is delightful to be with and her passion for cooking is contagious. I highly recommend this experience!

    Alessandra welcomed us into her home with such warmth. She gave us a tour of her beautiful garden, complete with marvelous snacks, and then set to work, teaching us the secrets of gnocchi making. We have taken several cooking classes in the past, including pasta classes, but learned several helpful new tips that we will use. Alessandra is a talented cook and skilled teacher, and we had a wonderful evening! If you were on the fence about which cooking class to take in Sorrento, this is the one!

    We had a great experience cooking with Alessandra! She was such a great teacher and host, opening her beautiful home overlooking Mount Vesuvius to us. We made two types of pasta (ravioli and spaghetti) and learned the intricacies of making both. We also made mini tiramisus, which were the perfect treat. We were able to enjoy all our efforts with a fabulous view! Also Alessandra was very accommodating with organizing a pickup to/from her location.

    Alessandra was a patient teacher, excellent tour guide, good host, and excellent photographer. She took us around town to many spots we wouldn’t have been as tourist without her. Her home was very clean and pretty. The view was incredible! We thoroughly enjoyed our day with her and highly recommend the experience.
