Traditional Cooking School On The Hills Of Sorrento

About this tour

Learn to cook Campania's timeless dishes in a hilltop kitchen overlooking Sorrento. This 3.5-hour class walks you through selecting vegetables from the garden, then preparing three dishes rooted in family traditions passed down through generations. Work with seasonal produce, master simple techniques, and eat what you've made. The menus rotate between land vegetables, seafood, and pizza—each telling the story of how locals actually cook at home.

Highlights

• Pick vegetables straight from the garden before cooking
• Prepare three courses: land, sea, or pizza specialities
• Learn recipes kept alive within Campania families for decades
• Eat your finished dishes with local wine or soft drinks
• Hilltop setting with views across the Sorrento Peninsula

What to expect

You'll start in the garden selecting the day's ingredients, then move into the kitchen where an instructor guides you through preparing each dish. Expect hands-on work—chopping, mixing, shaping dough—rather than watching demonstrations. The recipes are straightforward, designed around quality ingredients and technique rather than complexity. Once everything's cooked, you'll sit down and eat together, tasting what your effort produced. Classes run in an air-conditioned space, and children are welcome.

Good to know

Non-alcoholic drinks available for under-18s and those who prefer them. Prams and pushchairs work fine if you're bringing very young children. Transport to the school is included. Menus vary by season and availability.
