Teresa
"My name is Teresa and I am lucky enough to live in Vico Equense, a splendid town which boasts a world-famous food and wine tradition and which has given birth to some of the most famous starred chefs of the moment. I am a simple and hospitable person, I love share the pleasures of the table with relatives and friends. I often re-propose old family recipes but I don't disdain the charm of innovation and experimentation. My love for the home, the land, cooking and simple things make me bring to the table mainly vegetarian dishes based on vegetables and greens, strictly in season, grown by me and my family in a garden a few kilometers from my house (located in the city center).delicious provolone del monaco.My menus will obviously vary in based on the seasonality of the raw material.According to the best family traditions with the products of my garden I make preserves of all kinds, from pickled oil to jams to finish with tomato preserves".

- We truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to share this experience with than Teresa! From the moment we arrived, she was so warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. We had the best time cooking, learning, and experiencing authentic Italian culture during our honeymoon! What made the experience even more special was the connection with my maiden name, Cesarine! It felt like such a fun and meaningful way to celebrate our Italian roots. Teresa went above and beyond to make our time together special, and we left with wonderful memories that we’ll cherish forever. This was easily one of the highlights of our honeymoon, and we can’t recommend her enough! ❤️🇮🇹
- If you’re looking for a quick, sign-up-and-go group cooking class, this is NOT it. This is an experience—one that you will remember long after the meal is over. My wife and I traveled roughly 5,310 miles from home to share this experience with Teresa and her family, and before we’ve even left, we’re already talking about coming back. That alone should tell you how special this was. We cooked, we learned, we laughed, we talked—and somehow, within a few hours, we felt like we were spending time with friends rather than people we had just met. Think about it: Who opens their home to complete strangers and welcomes them to their family table? Not many people. Teresa does. And that says everything about the kind of person she is. She and her family are truly salt-of-the-earth people who understand that food, conversation, laughter, and simply being human have a way of bringing people together. No labels, no differences—just people sharing a table. And then there was the food. We cooked with ingredients from Teresa and her family’s own garden and farm, and the meal was absolutely incredible. It wasn’t just a cooking class—it was a genuine taste of their home, their family, and their way of life. Teresa was the perfect host and an exceptional instructor. She made the gnocchi and babbaiola napoletana approachable and easy enough that we actually feel confident recreating them when we get back to the U.S. (assuming we can find the right ingredients!). Do yourself a favor: book this experience. Skip the group class. Come hungry, come curious, and be prepared to leave with a full stomach, some great memories, and maybe a new friend. You will not regret it. Teresa and family—thank you for opening your home and your hearts to us. We’ll see you when we return. Next time… PIZZA! 🇮🇹❤️🍕
- We had such a lovely time with Teresa - she was so warm and welcoming into her home and we had great fun during our cooking class. We will be able to take our pasta making skills back home and replicate with ease the authentic Italian cooking. Highly recommend
- We had a lovely time with Teresa. She gave us excellent tips and instruction on how to cook authentic Italian food, her home was lovely, and we felt like we got a peek into what it might be like to live in Vico Equense. The view was beautiful and we felt like special guests in her home the whole time. I would highly recommend!! The food was delicious. Our kids, ages 11, 7, and 4, also had a wonderful time and enjoyed making gnocchi— are excited to go home and make our own, now that we know how! Thank you, Teresa!
- This was such a unique, authentic, and truly memorable experience for my husband and I. Teresa and her husband kindly welcomed us into their home. After getting acquainted, we started on what became a fabulous tiramisu! We learned of fresh ingredients that she grew and had a peek into her family’s heritage. A delicious, hands-on meal was then prepared and accompanied with prosecco. The evening ended with fresh limoncello. This was truly a wonderful experience! Ingredients were fresh, the food was fantastic, the view was incredible, and Teresa and her husband couldn’t have been any more kind! Thank you again!!
