Hi from Alessandra!

"I love traditional cuisine and I am passionate about leavened, especially the Neapolitan pizza made with my sourdough, with which I make fragrant breads, of any kind of flour". At her table flavors of sea and land, recipes of the culinary tradition of Sorrento, fragrant and tasty.

- We had an awesome time with Alessandra. Good food and great conversation. She explained everything in detal and we had fun along the way.. Would highly recommend.
- Alessandra was fantastic! She not only taught us how to make Napoli style pizza but opened her home and treated us like family. I would highly recommend this experience.
- 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!
