5.00Chef Christian’s cooking class was entertaining from start to finish. His larger-than-life personality kept the experience fun and engaging, while the menu we prepared was absolutely delicious. Christian did a great job balancing instruction, storytelling, and hands-on cooking, making the class enjoyable for everyone regardless of skill level. The food was fantastic, and the entire experience was both memorable and rewarding. I highly recommend Chef Christian’s cooking class to anyone looking for a fun and authentic culinary experience.

Enjoyable Experience in Sorrento

4.00Chef Cristiano was very fun and knowledgeable. He gave good explanation and showed meaningful cooking techniques. He also had a lot of energy and enjoyed joking around with the members of our group. It was advertised to be in Sorrento, and it was, however, it turned out to be about a 30 minute bus ride to the location. Also, it was over $300 for the two of us and our lesson consisted of eating two pieces of eggplant, potato gnocchi, and tiramisu that we had prepared, so felt a little expensive proportionately. Trying to be funny, the Chef is very animated and touchy feely. Our group was all adults so not sure if he would tone that down a bit for a younger audience. There was a partial sea view, although it was very hot in June and we did not spend a lot of time outside, so that was incidental to what we were doing. Overall we had a good time and enjoyed the experience.
