Cooking Class in Sorrento: Make Gnocchi and Eggplant Parmesan

Pick herbs from the garden, then cook two dishes in a real family kitchen

A three-hour cooking class in Sorrento where you pick eggplants and basil from the garden, then prepare Potatoes Gnocchi and Eggplant Parmesan by hand in a family kitchen overlooking the peninsula. The class ends with a tasting of what you made, plus local wine, homemade limoncello and traditional tiramisù served by the family.

The experience

The class starts on the terrace with a walk through the garden and olive grove, where you pick the eggplants and basil you'll cook with. From there you move into the kitchen to make the two dishes by hand: no shortcuts, no prep work done ahead. Potatoes Gnocchi and Eggplant Parmesan are the core of what you'll learn, and the instruction is hands-on: you're doing the work, not watching someone else do it.

Once the cooking is done, the family serves a tasting party of your creations. Local wine, homemade limoncello and traditional tiramisù come with it, all complimentary. The whole experience runs three hours and stays in one place: the family's kitchen and the garden that feeds it.

What’s included
