Cooking class with baked pasta and 3 recipes

Let's Cook Together in Sorrento: Join me for a traditional Neapolitan cooking class in my welcoming home, where you'll experience a warm and friendly atmosphere. Start with some Italian prosecco and local appetizers before learning to make fresh homemade pasta (choose from gnocchi, ravioli, scialatielli or tagliatelle). Select a menu option featuring meat or fish, accompanied by classic regional dishes. Enjoy fascinating stories and anecdotes about each dish's origin as we cook. Savor your creations with a fine glass of wine, either in the dining room or on the terrace overlooking my vibrant garden of blossoming flowers, orange, and lemon trees. Cap off the meal with coffee and homemade limoncello crafted from lemons from my garden.

Sorrento Cooking Experience: Pasta & Limoncello

In this experience, we offer traditional dishes. The appetizer teaches us that with flour and water, anything is possible: in Naples, a bit of flour creates something great and special. Fried pizza, also known as "montanara," is prepared by frying pizza dough and then topping it with tomato sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. For the first course, we'll savor Sorrento-style ravioli, made with fresh ricotta, basil, and simply served with tomato sauce: delicious! To finish, we'll enjoy the tasty St. Joseph's zeppola, traditionally prepared in Naples to celebrate Father's Day on March 19.

Hands in the dough cooking class in Sorrento 

I am waiting for you in the heart of Sorrento, just a few steps from the central square where together we can spend time inside my family home. We will prepare together some traditional Sorrentine dishes following the family recipes, starting with a mixed appetizer composed of different local specialties prepared according to tradition and chosen according to the seasonality of the products. We will then follow with the famous "gnocchi alla sorrentina" made by hand and accompanied only by local products such as "fior di latte" and Sorrento tomatoes that will be served directly in the ceramic pan. Finally, we will end with the lemon tart, prepared according to the ancient family tradition made of short pastry and then enriched with a delicious Sorrento lemon cream.

Back to "Surriento"

Make yourself comfortable in the 'paradise' villa, not only to savor the recipes I've prepared for you but also to enjoy the serenity and breathtaking views my home offers. During this course, you'll learn step by step how to prepare three recipes. The appetizer will be 'montanara': a hollow fried pizza with tomato sauce, Parmesan, and basil. Its name, somewhat unusual for a seaside city, is said to derive from the mountain farmers or 'i montanari' who used to consume it during lunch breaks. For the first course, I propose Caprese ravioli, which is closely connected to our local tradition: these ravioli are the symbol of the island of Capri, filled with ricotta and marjoram. Finally, we'll finish with a traditional 'torta della nonna' featuring custard cream!
