You won’t miss the opportunity to discover the secrets of Italian and Neapolitan cuisine in a practical and enjoyable day alongside a local chef, in a natural setting surrounded by a traditional vegetable garden and a fragrant lemon grove in the heart of the Sorrento Peninsula. Throughout the experience, you will work with fresh ingredients picked directly from the garden, understanding how seasonal produce influences flavor and the region’s typical recipes.
To suit different interests, you will be able to choose between two types of cooking classes, each with a different focus. Depending on the option selected, you will take part in a step-by-step guided lesson, with clear explanations and time to cook, observe techniques, and ask questions while the chef accompanies you throughout the preparation.
In the Italian and Neapolitan cooking class, you will prepare a traditional menu with dishes representative of the area. You will make handmade Sorrento-style gnocchi with mozzarella and tomato, an eggplant parmigiana, and a traditional dessert. The day will be completed with a limoncello tasting, linked to local tradition and the citrus setting surrounding the activity. In addition, if you request it, it will be possible to organize the lesson with different dishes than those indicated, at a price to be agreed.
If you prefer to focus on an icon of Campania, you can choose the Neapolitan pizza-making class. In this option, the base dough with 12 hours of proofing will already be ready for you, and from there you will prepare your own pizza by choosing the flavor you prefer among Margherita, Marinara, or grilled vegetables. In this way, you will learn the essential steps of a recipe of popular origin that became the gastronomic symbol of Naples.
At the end, you will have enjoyed a complete culinary experience on the Sorrento Peninsula, with the possibility to choose the type of class that best suits your tastes, and with hands-on learning that brings together cooking, local produce, and tradition.
