Shared Experience
Your experience

    Ingredients: flour, wheat, ricotta cheese, eggs, orange blossom, spices and a few secrets! Everything has been said about the Neapolitan pastiera: it is the Neapolitan dessert par excellence. The pastiera is a concentrate of flavors and knowledge, collected in old family recipe books; it is an elaborate dessert, an alchemy of long preparation that intoxicates the nostrils, palate and heart with happiness!

    Come to my house to make it with me: I will guide you step by step to make this amazing dessert, from the preparation of the grain to the pastry! While we cook we will delight in Neapolitan appetizers and excellent wine, and as soon as it comes out of the oven you can take your pastiera away with you!

    This was one of the highlights of our entire trip. Laura was absolutely amazing. So friendly and welcoming. We felt blessed to be invited into her home and taught some amazing authentic family recipes. Her assistant was also very friendly and helpful. Loved every minute of it. Would highly recommend. Book this experience. You won’t regret it!

    Fantastic experience. Laura made us feel completely comfortable and like we were family. She was very sweet with our 3-month-old baby. The best part was the passion she put into explaining things to us and the various "tricks" for the perfect pastiera. You can feel her enthusiasm and joy for what she does. A not insignificant detail, the result fully satisfied us both visually and in taste. From next year we won't have to buy pastiera anymore (my wife's favorite dessert). Thank you again, highly recommended as an experience.

    We had the best time! We learned to cook 2 pasta dishes & had appetizers, wine & dessert. It was amazing! We were so grateful that Laura opened her home to us!

    We had an absolutely wonderful evening! It was a great way to experience true Sorrento meals while having a cozy experience to hang out with family while on vacation. There was plenty of food for all of us. We were happy and stuffed! Thank you so much for the wonderful food and unique experience by providing a home away from home. We hope to see you again, maybe for the cooking class!
