Corso di cucina privata con pranzo o cena a Cava De Tirreni

We had a great time. Unfortunately, this could not possibly have been a cooking/learning session and a meal in the short time available (three hours). We understand that. We had several things pre-prepared for us: freshly made tomato sauce from scratch, which we make all of the time ourselves so no big deal, and a wonderful chocolate pudding/mousse-like dessert with ladyfingers soaked in rum around in a the perimeter in a pie pan. The antipasto was incredibly good. She combined prosciutto with juicy, fresh figs picked from her garden. Also provided was an assortment of cheeses. She made gnocchi from scratch. Since we make pasta all the time ourselves, we did not really need to lend a hand. They provided an apéritif, a nice red wine, a nice white wine and grappa, We really enjoyed the company and the meal. They were wonderful people. Their home was beautiful and their garden was spectacular. We really enjoyed it, and they invited us back for dinner. The next time we come to Cava. He drove us home.

I enjoyed the experience. I wouldn't really call it a cooking class. It was more like 2 friends cooking a meal together. One doing far more than the other.

We got to the spot then took a ride to the home where we would be cooking. The family we cooked with was a local family who we communicated with through google translate, giving an extremely authentic feel. We then cooked gnocchi and tiramisu from scratch. While we waited for our dishes to settle, we had an aperitif in the family’s beautiful garden sharing some wine, cheese, eggplant parmigiana, and salami. After that we went inside to have our meal accompanied by some local Italian whiskey and limoncello. Our host then took us to the bus station and bought our bus ticket. It was ana amazing experience and the hosts were great.

Cesarine’s cooking class was the most memorable experience from my whole trip in Italy. Anna and Luigi really made us feel welcome and at home. At the beginning, me and my cousin didn’t have a way to get to Cava de Tirreni. I was so nervous we were not going to make it to the class, and Luigi (Anna’s husband) offered to pick us up and drive us to Cava de Tirreni and back to the hotel once the class was over. Luigi is a sweet man and will try his best to communicate in English so you don’t feel there’s a language barrier between you. We arrived at their gorgeous home that’s decorated with all kinds of beautiful ceramics. Anna showed us her garden and all the things harvested in it (lemons, mandarins, pears, kiwis). Anna irradiates so much light, peace, and excitement to teach you. She made us feel so comfortable while learning how to make gnocchi and tiramisu from scratch and using organic locally sourced ingredients! Everything was so fresh and DELICIOUS. I promised Anna and Luigi I will come back and bring more friends and family to their class, because it really touched my heart and made me eager to keep learning about Italian culture. 10/10 experience, if you are doubtful about booking this, DON’T BE, this family is AMAZING, they really made me feel I was in a Disney movie for a second because everything was so wonderful!!

Great cooking class and food and lovely family made us feel very welcome and were very well prepared. We had delicious anti pasta pasta and desert!
