Overview
One of the many fascinating
aspects of travelling to a foreign Country is undoubtedly
represented by local food. In Italy this is even more
interesting since each of the 20 Regions has a well
defined culinary tradition based on local natural produce
and on different ways of preparing food according to
local taste and tradition.
In Campania, particularly in Sorrento,
the local cuisine has retained its tradition of simple
and quick preparation , without too much sophistication
, in order to perserve the fragrance and flavours of
the fresh ingredients.
The Sorrento Cooking School is located
1 km away from the city centre of Sorrento and only
a few steps away from the sea and the major local attractions.
The school offers one-day and multi-day hands-on cooking
classes as well as all inclusive packages that are offered
year round from a minimum of two to a maximum of 15
participants. The classes are based on menus of the
traditional Italian cuisine, with a particular emphasis
on Neapolitan recipes. Special programs can be arranged
for those who wish to focus their attention on specific
dishes or Italian specialties such as Pizza, bread,
pasta, sauces, fish, pastries and decoration, drinks
and wine.
The "hands - on" cooking
classes are conducted in English with each class lasting
approximately 3 hours. This is then followed by either
lunch or dinner depending on the lesson's subject.
The programs include a visit to the
colourful food markets, a mozzarella cheese factory
and the limoncello liqueur factory, a pizza making demonstration
at pizzeria "Aurora " and the final dinner
is held at Il Buco, a 1-star Michelin restaurant.
