Cooking classes will be held in the large teaching kitchen built specifically for your culinary program. It features spacious granite counters, a large professional range and an outdoor veranda, where you can enjoy a break between courses. Learn to make such typical southern Italian dishes as Sorrento-style gnocchi, stuffed calamari, and Neapolitan-style artichokes. All dishes use the freshest ingredients (including cheese made fresh by our friend Signora Rosa) and recipes that have been passed down for many generations. After your lesson you will feast on what you have made, so be prepared to cook, eat, drink and laugh for the next 4 or 6 days of your choosing!
