Sorrento Cuisine

Sorrento Cuisine: From Market to Table

This is not just a cooking class — it's a hands-on journey into the heart of Sorrento's food culture. Begin your day with Lucia at the bustling local markets, where you'll learn how to choose the freshest fish, the best seasonal vegetables, and artisan-made cheeses directly from the producers. You'll meet farmers, bakers, and shopkeepers who still live by the rhythms of tradition.

The experience continues back at Villa Lorelei's kitchen, where your group will transform the morning's finds into a memorable meal. Depending on the day's purchases, the menu might include comforting soups like Minestrone or Minestra Maritata, hand-made pasta such as Ravioli Caprese or Pasta Patate e Provola del Monaco, seasonal seafood, or Sorrentine classics like Parmigiana di Melanzane.

Every dish is prepared with attention to flavor and storytelling, bringing out the essence of local ingredients. Of course, the experience wouldn't be complete without pairing your meal with regional wines, prosecco, and Mamy Lucia's famous homemade limoncello.

This class is perfect for food lovers who want to understand the soul of Italian cuisine — not only how to cook it, but how to shop for it, select it, and respect it. It's a cultural and culinary odyssey you won't forget.
