Small groups who will cook with their hands!

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.

Migliaccio is a traditional Neapolitan dish, prepared during the Carnival and Easter periods, but enjoyed pleasantly all year round. The rustic version is a unique, tasty and practical dish to take along for a trip to the coast on spring days. Eggs, ricotta cheese, sausage and cheese to taste are added to a semolina base cooked in milk.Sweet migliaccio, on the other hand, is a soft cake of semolina cooked in milk, flavored with orange and lemon zest, then combined with a dough made of eggs, sugar and ricotta to which raisins and candied fruit are added to taste.To take the embarrassment out of choosing between the two versions, we will make both and delight in them.
