Join Tina and Friends for an Unforgettable Edible Experience
One Day Cooking Classes, and more
All year long Tina teaches one-day cooking classes featuring the classic dishes of the Sorrento and Amalfi Coast, seasonal ingredients, and best local artisanal products. The classes take place on the Sorrento Coast at an elegant historical residence, dating back to the 17th century. The setting is an oasis of tranquility overlooking the Tyrrhenian sea amidst a spectacular landscape—including lemon, orange, and olive trees, and an organic garden brimming with all sorts of delicious fruits, vegetables, and aromatic herbs.
The day usually begins with a stroll through the garden to pick the ingredients for the class; some tomatoes, eggplants, zucchini, and basil, perhaps, or whatever we come upon that is at the peak of freshness. Afterwards, we gather around the kitchen and guests learn how to prepare a traditional 4-course meal of the local specialties, including a homemade pasta or gnocchi, prior to dining on their own creations al fresco in the garden for lunch or dinner—or depending upon the season and/or weather, in the warm light of the dining room, Southern Italian-style. All classes include hands-on learning and lots of fun.
Do you want to learn how to make the perfect Ravioli alla Caprese, the cushion-y cheese filled ravioli from the beautiful island of Capri? Or, Gnocchi alla Sorrentina, the famous potato dumplings with tomato, mozzarella, and basil from the charming coastal town of Sorrento—or Fiori di Zucchini Ripieni, the delicious fried zucchini flowers stuffed with savory cheeses and aromatic herbs that makes the locals scream summertime in the Campania region?
Come and join in the fun with Tina and friends for a day (or more, as you please) of discovering the Tastes of the Sorrento and Amalfi Coast. Get ready to slow down and immerse yourself in local Italian lifestyle and food traditions: fresh, delicious homemade food of your own making and good Italian vino is included. Minimum 4 participants.
