Discover the true flavors of the Sorrento Coast through an authentic hands-on cooking class hosted by Chef Laura in her welcoming home. Far from the tourist crowds, this experience invites you to immerse yourself in the traditions, aromas, and hospitality that make Southern Italy so unforgettable.

Surrounded by the scent of fresh lemons, Mediterranean herbs, and sun-ripened tomatoes, you'll learn to prepare some of the region's most beloved family recipes using fresh, local ingredients and techniques passed down through generations.

During the experience, Chef Laura will guide you step by step as you prepare:

🍅 Traditional Gnocchi alla Sorrentina, handmade and baked in the classic pignatiello with homemade tomato sauce, fresh basil, melted provola cheese, and Parmigiano Reggiano.

🌿 Fresh Cavatelli, a traditional Southern Italian semolina pasta served with a delicate zucchini sauce, fragrant mint, and fresh Sorrento lemon zest.

🍋 Chef Laura's Signature Lemon Tiramisù (or the classic coffee and chocolate version), where you'll discover family secrets to creating one of Italy's most iconic desserts.

Before cooking, you'll be welcomed with a selection of delicious local appetizers showcasing the authentic flavors of the region. Once everything is ready, you'll sit down together to enjoy the meal you've created, accompanied by water and local wine in a warm and convivial atmosphere.

To conclude your culinary journey, you'll enjoy a tasting of homemade limoncello, prepared following a traditional family recipe that perfectly captures the essence of the Sorrento Coast.

This is a public cooking class, giving you the opportunity to meet fellow travelers from around the world. Depending on availability, other guests may join the experience, creating an even more enjoyable and social atmosphere as you cook, share stories, and dine together.
