Cooking class in Vietri sul Mare: Learn 3 local recipes

Make three regional dishes from scratch, then sit down to eat them

A private cooking class in Vietri sul Mare where you prepare three seasonal local recipes in a Cesarina's home, then share the meal with wine and beverages included. You choose lunch or dinner at checkout. The class runs three hours and takes place in a carefully selected local home in the area. An English-speaking guide leads the instruction.

The experience

You'll cook three dishes (a seasonal starter, fresh pasta and a typical dessert) working through each one from the beginning in your host's kitchen. A Cesarina, part of Italy's oldest network of home cooks, teaches you the techniques and regional secrets behind each recipe. This is not a demonstration: you're handling the ingredients and doing the work, learning how locals actually prepare everyday food rather than restaurant versions.

After cooking, you sit down to eat what you've made together. The meal includes wine, other beverages and coffee. Whether you book the lunch or dinner option shapes the timing and the menu's seasonal focus, but both follow the same rhythm of cooking first, then dining as part of the household rather than as a paying guest passing through.

The class happens in a local home in Vietri sul Mare or the surrounding area. You can choose how far you're willing to travel when you book. The exact address stays private until after you've reserved, a protection the Cesarina uses for all guests. Public transportation options are available nearby if you prefer not to arrange your own transport.
