Hi from Alessandra!

Sorrento, land of sirens that tempted Ulysses and home of Torquato Tasso, offers moments of poetry between secret coves, breathtaking views and tasty stops, as at home of our Cesarina Alessandra. "I love traditional cuisine and I am passionate about leavened, especially the Neapolitan pizza made with my sourdough, with which I make fragrant breads, of any kind of flour". At her table flavors of sea and land, recipes of the culinary tradition of Sorrento, fragrant and tasty.

Alessandra's cooking class was excellent! We learned a lot about making pasta and she took us step-by-step through the process. It was lovely to enjoy the meal on her terrace overlooking Sorrento at sunset. Alessandra was so kind, her home was beautiful and the food was delicious. We would recommend this class to anyone looking to do a cooking class in Amalfi!

Alessandra was a wonderful host and teacher. She was very patient with all of us (youngest 9 years old). Her translator, Peggy, was also wonderful. It was fun to do an activity that the entire family enjoyed. The food was extremely tasty. We made multiple dishes and were able to take leftovers back to our hotel to eat the next day! The location was spectacular! It was an evening of fun cooking, excellent food, and wonderful company. At the end of the dinner, Peggy even showed us a part of Sorrento that we would never have seen on our own. I feel like we now have new friends in Italy!

My husband and I had a wonderful time!! Food and experience were very authentic. Instructions were very easy to follow and we get to make the recipes at home :) pasta recipe was our favorite! We were treated like family. Thank you Alessandra!!!

This cooking experience far exceeded our expectations! We felt like long lost family welcomed into her beautiful home! She and her helper put us at ease…we laughed and exchanged stories, tasted grapes from her rooftop with the most amazing view, then jumped right into the cooking and explanations. She explained the cooking techniques thoroughly…not like a professor lecturing, but like you best friend helping you cook a new dish. Most of the elements we cooked came straight from her garden. She allowed us to really make things, like the dough, ravioli and more. However she had ingredients measured out and ready so everything moved along quickly. Honestly I can’t wait to show off my new skills as soon as we get home. I can’t express how PERFECT this experience was! The food was amazing! And to know that we made it was even more exciting. This was truly the highlight of our trip to Italy!
