Private class at "Quanto Basta" Cooking School in Sorrento center

About this tour

Learn to cook like a Sorrentine local during a three-hour private class in the heart of Sorrento. Working alongside a chef who teaches time-tested techniques you can replicate at home, you'll prepare dishes rooted in regional tradition and understand their cultural heritage. Your group (up to 12 people) then sits down to eat everything you've made, paired with wine and water.

• Learn techniques designed to work in your own kitchen
• Understand the history and stories behind each dish
• Three-course meal you've prepared yourself

What to expect

You'll spend three hours in the school's Sorrento location working directly with a chef who demonstrates regional cooking methods, then guides you through preparing a three-course meal. Expect to use your hands—kneading, chopping, stirring—whilst learning why ingredients and techniques matter to Sorrentine food culture. The pacing is relaxed; this isn't about speed but understanding. Halfway through or towards the end, you'll transition from kitchen to table, where you eat what you've cooked alongside wine tastings and water.
