Having taken similar cooking classes in New York, I enjoyed my Sorrento experience much more. It was more hands-on, and the instructor (Mina and interpreter Monica) were a delight, they obviously enjoyed teaching. I haven't tried the recipes at home yet, but am keen to at my next party. More

This class was one of the highlights of our 12 trip to Italy. We made a wonderful menu of pizza, calzones, pasta sauce, homemade ravioli & pasta, baked sea bass w/potatoes, tiramisu and a lemon puff dessert. Every recipe was easy to execute and DELICIOUS to eat!!! Since returning from the trip I have made the entire menu a few... More

I was getting discouraged after getting prices ranging from €150-250/person for cooking classes. I had almost given up until I stumbled onto the Sorrento Cooking School at Esperidi resort. For €60/person (cash only) my husband and I were able to enjoy a four hour cooking class in a beautiful and clean setting. The class was taught by an Italian chef... More

The kitchen is a bright, modern facility on the outskirts of Sorrento (in Sant Agnello). The menu consisted of homemade Ravioli, deep fried pizza (delicious), fish on a bed of potatos and Tirimsui for dessert. It was only 3 hours long so some of the preparations were pre done. However, there wasn't anything on the menu that could not easily... More

The reviews thus far are pretty accurate. This was a really fun day, we had a great group and the cook and translator were great. The only negative is that the chef does do a lot of the prep work and cooking. If thats going to annoy you (it did not annoy us), then you probably want something more hands... More

We did the Sorrento cooking class on the 30th September 2011. We were on our Honeymoon and thought it would be a bit of fun. We were glad we booked it, we both had lots of fun, and we look forward to getting back home and testing out our new cooking skills. The Chef Mina was lovely, and the English... More

My wife and I consider ourselves pretty decent cooks, so we were not expecting to "learn how to cook in three hours!". What we did learn was how to correct mistakes when making pizza and pasta dough and how to "know by feel" when your pizza and pasta dough has he proper consistency, how to roll out pasta dought to...

Unlike the previous review I did not want a full hands on cooking class, I very much enjoyed the way it was set out. It was a pleasure to watch Mina and I also enjoyed listening to her describing it in Italian before it was then translated for us. All the food was delicious and Mina made me an omelette... More
