We’ve taken several cooking classes in the U.S. and one in Bali, but this was the first taught by an actual chef. The Sorrento Cooking School offers a 3.5 hour, hands-on cooking class for 70 euro. The price includes lunch, recipes, an apron and transportation to/from your hotel. Recipes are provided in English, the chef demonstrates in Italian and her assistant translates in English.
We made four traditional Neapolitan recipes, including Southern Italian pizza and Capri style cheese ravioli, pan steamed fish and tiramisu. Happy to share any recipes if you email the request to jresick@gmail.com.
All recipes, even the doughs, were novice-cook friendly and delicious. A few interesting observations:
- We used the pizza dough to make mini pizzas fried in peanut oil, but the recipe is the same for large Neapolitan pizzas you can oven bake.
- We hand rolled the fresh pasta dough, stuffed and cut our own ravioli. No pasta maker required!
