Local Market & Cooking Class at a Cesarina's Home in Sorrento

My spouse and I took Alessandra’s private cooking class while visiting Sorrento, and it was the highlight of the entire trip! This was more than simply a cooking class, but was an authentic and entirely unforgettable experience, and we could not recommend it more. Alessandra first took us on a tour throughout Sorrento to collect some ingredients for the class, including the farmer’s market, a fish market, cheese shop, and bakery. We then went with her to her beautiful home up in the mountains, where we cooked fresh tagliatelle pasta with clam sauce, fried anchovies, a fried Italian sandwich, and a delicious tiramisu. She served us prosecco and wine, and was a gracious hostess, truly making us feel like family! The views from her kitchen and terrace where we enjoyed our meal were absolutely breathtaking. Alessandra was responsive, adapting the meal plan to our preferences, and the effort she put into the whole afternoon made for an unbelievable experience. Not to mention, the cooking class itself was very informative and we learned many things regarding the meal, and beyond. She was thorough in her instructions, patient, kind, and generous, and made sure to document the experience for us with pictures and videos so that we didn’t have to worry about that. If you are near Sorrento and looking for a cooking class (or rather, an entire cooking experience with a stunning view), you MUST sign up for the class with Alessandra. We did many amazing things during our 2-week trip to Italy and this experience was, hands down, the highlight of our entire trip.
