Cooking Class in Sorrento: Become a Chef for a Day

Learn the secrets of authentic Italian cuisine

Programs and dishes you'll learn

During the Cooking Class you'll learn to prepare:

 

Traditional Campanian/Sorrento menu

  • Handmade fresh pasta: Learn to knead, roll and cut pasta like a real Italian grandmother (fettuccine, tagliatelle, gnocchi or ravioli).

  • Perfect tomato sauce: The secret to a simple but sublime sauce, with San Marzano tomatoes, fresh basil and olive oil.

  • Neapolitan pizza: From dough preparation to hand stretching, topping and baking in a wood-fired oven (if available).

  • Classic tiramisù: The quintessential Italian dessert, with the original traditional recipe.

  • Other specialties: Depending on season: eggplant parmigiana, mozzarella in carrozza, caprese, homemade limoncello.

 

How the lesson works

  • Welcome and introduction: Chef presentation and menu of the day.

  • Ingredient preparation: Discover local products and learn to choose them like a real chef.

  • Hands on: You cook under the expert guidance of the chef, with tips and trade tricks.

  • Techniques and secrets: Learn traditional techniques handed down through generations.

  • Convivial lunch or dinner: Everyone sits at the table together to enjoy what you've cooked, with local wine included.

Roll up your sleeves and unveil the secrets of 100% authentic Italian cuisine, the real one, the one passed down from grandmother to grandmother that smells of home, family and tradition.

You'll learn to prepare our traditional dishes guided by an expert chef, in a warm, genuine and informal atmosphere where fun is guaranteed as much as learning. You don't need to be a starred chef: you come here to learn, laugh, get your hands dirty with flour and take home authentic recipes to repeat for a lifetime.

 

At the end of the lesson you can enjoy the dishes you prepared with your own hands, sitting at the table with other participants, accompanied by a good glass of local wine. Because in Italy, as everyone knows, we cook to eat together.

 

The perfect experience for

  • Cooking enthusiasts who want to learn original Italian recipes.

  • Couples seeking a romantic and fun activity.

  • Families with children (little chefs are also welcome!).

  • Groups of friends who want a convivial experience.

  • Curious travelers who love discovering culture through food.

 

The Cooking Class is not just a lesson: it's a journey into flavors, traditions and the culinary art that has made Italy famous worldwide. And at the end, you'll take home recipes, techniques and unforgettable memories.
