- Excellent! Highlight of 10 days in Italy (including Florence and Venice). We spent Thanksgiving here, and I would repeat this every year. If you loved them as much as we did, invite Laura and Frederika to join you for the meal you prepared. It's a little hard to find based on directions in the booking service, so reach out to your hosts for the exact address. Wonderful experience--cannot say enough!
- Laura and her son hosted my mother and I for a cooing class. What an amazing evening!! It was just the two of us in the class so it was very personable. Started the night off with an assortment of amazing appetizers and some wine. Then the cooking started. We made Tiramisu, gnocchi sorrento, and potato pasta…. AMAZING! Laura and her son were very kind and informative. We even sat together for a while discussing differences in Italian and Canadian culture which was awesome. We got a copy of the recipes as well. 10/10 would recommend this to anyone!
- Mama Laura and Nikola were wonderful hosts and gave us the warmest welcome into their family home. We started the experience with delicious antipasti and wine while listening to a classy playlist. Then the magic began! We began the cooking lesson by learning how to make the best Tiramisu we’ve had in our lives, then learned how to cook fresh gnocchi with a tomato base. Lastly we learned how to cook dry pasta and got to make the Pasta e Patate Provolona AKA 5P! (Pasta, Potatoes, Pork Belly, Provolona, and Peppers). Everything was so delicious and we enjoyed every minute of the experience. Laura, once again thank you so much for your warm welcome and sharing your family secret recipes! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Sorrento!
- We thoroughly enjoyed the cooking class so much with our hosts. Making the gnocchi with the smoked Gouda was my favorite. My husband enjoyed laying the tiramisu and jamming to euro rock in the kitchen!
- We had a wonderful experience with Laura, and learned a lot! A highlight of our trip to Sorrento. Laura is very welcoming and patient. We are excited to make the recipes at home. Thank you Laura!
