    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!

    Laura and her family were wonderful and very welcoming! The experience was definitely worth it and the highlight of the trip. Their home is lovely, everyone was incredibly nice, and showed us how to make various kinds and shapes of pasta as well as tiramisu

    This experience was absolutely incredible and one of our favorite memories from Italy. From the moment we walked into the host's home, we felt welcomed like family. Their warmth, kindness, and genuine passion for sharing Italian culture made the entire experience so special. Learning to make fresh pasta and authentic tiramisu from recipes passed down through generations was such a unique and memorable experience. The instructions were easy to follow, and we loved hearing the stories and traditions behind each dish. There was something so special about cooking in a real Italian home rather than a commercial kitchen. The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was warm, intimate, and full of laughter. It felt less like a class and more like spending an afternoon with friends around the dinner table. If you're looking for an authentic Italian experience, this is a must-do. I would book this again and again without hesitation. Thank you for such a wonderful afternoon and for sharing your home, traditions, and incredible hospitality with us. We will cherish these memories—and these recipes—for years to come!

    It was an amazing experience with the family. Amazing boys and mama welcomed us into their grandparents home and taught us about their history and making dishes. This experience was a 10/10! Looking forward to seeing them again!
