Traditional Menu with Mama Lucia

About this tour

Cook alongside Lucia, a Sorrentine home cook who teaches her family's recipes passed down through generations. Over three and a half hours in her kitchen, you'll prepare a full traditional dinner using vegetables from her garden and local suppliers, then sit down to eat what you've made with wine included. This is genuine domestic cooking, not a tourist classroom—expect real techniques, regional flavours, and the kind of food locals actually eat at home.

Highlights

• Hands-on cooking of generations-old Sorrentine recipes
• Learn Neapolitan techniques from a local home cook
• Ingredients sourced from Lucia's garden and neighbourhood suppliers
• Full three-course dinner cooked by your own hands, then eaten together
• Wine or beer included; vegetarian and vegan options available
• Menu can be adjusted to your preferences before the class

What to expect

You'll arrive at Lucia's kitchen and jump straight into prep. She'll walk you through each dish—expect chopping, mixing, and working at her stove using methods she's used for decades. The pace is unhurried; you're learning, not racing. Halfway through, the smell of what you're cooking will fill the room. Once everything's ready, you'll sit together for dinner with wine or beer, eating the food you've just prepared. It's part cooking lesson, part family meal. Bring an appetite and comfortable clothes you don't mind getting flour on.
