Cooking with friends, old and new…
Cooking lessons begin with a meeting between participants and the chef, chatting not only about the cooking class but also getting to know each other over a glass of wine or a cup of coffee. In fact, a key element of our success is the social atmosphere of friendship and laughter in all our lessons, as we share the secrets of culinary art.
The pride of our Sorrento cooking school is our chef, who speaks perfect English and has years of experience in the field. In addition to being warm, friendly and fun, he is always patient, and willing to explain and demonstrate the best possible way to prepare unique dishes.
Delicious local dishes prepared by you…
Each lesson consists of the preparation of a starter, a first course, a main course and finally a dessert; Four delicious courses of traditional Italian and Neapolitan delicacies, prepared by you.
Among the most popular “primi” or first course dishes include typical Sorrento gnocchi, or the famous ravioli that are a must on our tables, especially on Sunday. You will learn to make the dough from scratch, kneading and shaping it, before creating the perfect sauce. This hands-on approach to learning means you will get real practice under the expert guidance of the chef - and can be proud of what you’ve made!
Main courses may be meat, chicken or fish - but our ultimate goal is to meet your needs, so please let us know of any dietary requirements.
One of our most traditional Mediterranean recipes at Olimpia Cooking School is the famous eggplant parmigiana…and in summer we will use eggplants (aubergines) freshly harvested from our organic garden, for an extraordinary flavor.
Finally we will create a luscious dessert, whether the timeless tiramisu, or panna cotta, and more.
Don’t forget about Neapolitan pizza. We often devote an entire lesson to this most beloved of local delights; Naples was, after all, the birthplace of pizza! You will have the opportunity to learn the secrets that have made it world-famous, and that only few experts are willing to share.
