It was the year 2004 when we decided to add a new facility to our Resort, also accessible from the outsiders, and we opened the Sorrento Cooking School, the first Italian school of cooking available in Sorrento offering daily cooking lessons taught in English and offered to a non - professional public.
It has been a big success, particularly with American and English travellers who are not spectators, but are guided in the hands-on lessons by our talented chef. They actually prepare dishes such as pasta, pizza, fish and local typical desserts and have the pleasure of eating what they have prepared during the meal.

 

The school runs cooking classes every morning at 10 am from April to October.
We guarantee return transportation from your Hotel in Sorrento if this is centrally located.
Lessons are taught in English by our master Chef Rosaria, who is helped by her mother-tongue assistant who translates the lesson simultanely.
We allow a maximum of 14 participanst at each lesson.
Every day you have the possibility to learn a different menu and you always eat what you have prepared during the lesson.

 

Most of the dishes chosen can be easily made at home and the ingredients can generally be found in your country of origin. They are surprisingly simple to prepare yet are unforgettably flavourful and will have a profound effect on your future guests. Your program will give a balanced knowledge to acquire the principal techniques for dressing the plates, making the fresh dough for pasta, pizza and bread, learn about fish, vegetables meat and legumes, ending by creating fresh and delicate pastry.
