Hi from Clara!
My name is Clara, born in Paris to Campanian parents. I lived in Sorrento until the age of 18, and then I traveled around the world for work. I immediately fell in love with trying international and multicultural cuisine, and while working on cruise ships as a hotel manager, I learned firsthand how to navigate large kitchens on 4-star floating hotels. It was there that my passion for pastry also emerged, leading me to deepen my studies at Compait and attend various courses for artisan bread-making. I greatly enjoy teaching what has always been a profound passion of mine. My specialties undoubtedly include desserts, artisan bread, basic pastry, and the traditional sweets of my region. Pastiera, sfogliatelle, and other delights. I also love making pizza and fresh pasta with great enthusiasm.

- Clara and her family were wonderful hosts and very instructive. They were also very supportive and kind. I would recommend this class to anyone in a heartbeat.
- From the very beginning of our cooking experience, Clara was friendly, welcoming and the perfect hostess throughout the day. She described all the steps clearly and we were both involved throughout the whole process. She explained all the steps required to complete the dishes and the end result was beautifully presented and delicious. Clara is an excellent hostess who made us feel very relaxed and at ease in her beautiful home. We would highly recommend everyone to book an experience with her.
- Clara was an amazing host! She welcomed into her home and treated us as family with wine and appetizers, ensuring we were always comfortable and taken care of. The instruction was 1 on 1 and we felt as though we learned a lot of great tips that we can take home and try ourselves. We had an amazing experience and would recommend Clara to everyone! She even gave us leftovers to take home to enjoy later. Great overall experience and can’t wait to do it again in the future!
- We had a wonderful evening with Clara and her lovely daughter during this cooking course. My husband, our two children (aged 12 and 14), and I all felt incredibly welcome in their home. Communication before the class was clear and helpful, and Clara made sure everything ran smoothly from the start. We learned to make two types of pasta and a delicious tiramisu. Clara was so accommodating- my son and I are vegetarian while my husband and daughter eat meat, and she catered to everyone with ease. She even let us experiment with different tiramisu flavours since the kids aren’t fans of coffee….lemon was the clear winner! It was such a special experience to spend time in their home, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our holiday. My son said it was his favourite part of the trip, and he’s already planning to recreate the recipes at home. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and memorable experience!
- Clara and her family welcomed us into their home with open arms and it was such a great experience for our family. We have 2 teenagers and weren’t sure how they’d like taking a cooking class. They loved it! Our daughter has a gluten allergy and Clara was more than accommodating than I expected. She had prepared our daughter with a special gluten free lasagna along with her own mozzarella and tomato salad. We made tiramisu and ravioli and another pasta, all exceptional. We enjoyed our dishes afterwards with Clara’s husband and 2 daughters. It was such a great day for all of us, I’d highly recommend you take one of Clara’s classes, you will not be disappointed! She’s the best!
