Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
Sartù di riso is a refined dish born in the kitchens of Neapolitan nobility in the 18th century. A sumptuous rice timbale with rich meat ragù, featuring a melting heart of Sorrento mozzarella, hard-boiled eggs, peas, and tiny meatballs. A spectacular and delicious masterpiece that recalls the lavish banquets of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the enchanting atmosphere of The Leopard, with the iconic dance between Angelica and the Prince of Salina. From my family's ancient recipe books, an invitation to prepare and savor this symbol of aristocratic Neapolitan cuisine, perfectly paired with excellent wine. We will end on a sweet note with a refreshing limoncello-soaked babà!
The cooking class was one of the highlights of our holiday to Italy! Laura and Ettore created the most relaxed environment to learn how to cook Italian food, where we did nothing but laugh. The food was absolutely gorgeous and there was so so much of it! Highly recommend this to be on anyone’s to do list that is visiting the area!

This was such a lovely experience!! My husband and I absolutely loved it! The hosts were so incredibly sweet and welcoming! They gave us such a nice spread of food when we got there and then taught us how to make two different pastas and tiramisu! Then we got to enjoy our hard work and everything tasted so amazing. I would highly recommend this experience and we would definitely do it again if we find ourselves back in Sorrento.
