Cooking Class with a Chef in Capri

Cooking Class with a Chef in Capri

Learn to cook Capri-style with this 4-hour, small-group cooking class, limited to a group of just eight people. After hearing about the island’s culinary heritage, you’ll create a 3-course meal using fresh and local ingredients. Make pasta from scratch, learn the secret to a great Insalata Caprese, and create a traditional Capri cake for dessert. The best part? You eat the meal when the class ends.

After meeting your local chef, you’ll listen to a short intro about Capri island and its culinary heritage.

Like most regions in Italy, the island’s cuisine has been influenced by populations like Greek, and Roman; today, Hollywood darlings visit it on holidays, bringing cosmopolitan glamor to the island. These influences, teamed with the abundance of fresh seafood, have made their mark on the food you find in Capri.

Roll up your sleeves to create a typical Capri meal. Using generations-old recipes and the help of your chef, you’ll create Insalata Caprese, a simple, yet delicious, a signature dish of tomato, buffalo mozzarella, and basil. Follow up the salad with fresh pasta, made from scratch. Mix, roll and fold the dough to make a local ravioli dish. Finally, make Torta Caprese (an almond and chocolate cake), which is named after the island. 

Finish on a high note as you sit down with the rest of your group to eat. Chat about the food and your creations as you sip on wine and relax. Before you leave, take a copy of the recipes so you can cook the dishes back at home.
