- 828GMK3 contributionsOutstanding food, presentation and so much fun!Chef Carmen is a fantastic instructor. She and her staff presented everything to us in a very professional and fun environment. There was delicious food prepared by us (with direction of course), many laughs and lots of wine to go around. We were even given the recipes of the dishes we enjoyed. Given the opportunity we would definitely schedule another class. Grazie mille!Visited December 2022Travelled with friendsWritten 1 November 2023
- Nancy and Jerry2 contributionsChef Carmen's Class, an Italian trip's High Spot!Our group was on an Amalfi Coast trip with an extension to Ischia. Our guide offered us the wonderful experience of attending one of Chef Carmen's cooking classes. We were greeted at the door with Prosecco toasts and the party began! Chef Carmen just oozes personality and she engaged our entire group in her marvelous experience. We sang, we danced, we learned how to make three delicious recipes. We sang and we danced and enjoyed more wine, limoncello, and Prosecco while our food was cooking. The class ended with a very happy group of tourists! We were very pleased to receive Chef Carmen's recipes and plan to recreate them for an Italian dinner. I would make a visit to Chef Carmen's cooking school required for all tourists visiting Sorrento!!Visited October 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 5 November 2023
- Dee C4 contributionsChef Carmen will not disappoint!!My sister and I met Carmen across the street in a very high-end hair salon named "I'm Caso". We were having difficulty understanding how the Italian system of hair salons worked and Carmen came over to help us. She was great!! (And my sister's hair never looked better!) The next day, we were walking on the street and decided to eat at this nice looking "cooking school" and who came out to greet us? CARMEN!! The rest of the experience was a delight and so was the food! Everyone there was fun and accommodating and it was obvious they all enjoyed "working" there. I believe she is the key. A word to the wise. I asked if they had the after-dinner drink my grandfather used to have called "Anisette" they didn't but they brought me something else that almost melted my make-up off!!! Stick with Limoncello! :)Visited May 2024Travelled with familyWritten 7 June 2024
- Navigate476968833631 contributionHighlight of our trip!!We had an excellent experience with Chef Carmen and her crew! Our family (3 kids -- 7, 10,12) did the pasta class and made gnocci Sorrentino and fettuccini bolognese. Carmen was incredibly patient with our children and had us all smiling and laughing as we cooked. After cooking we sat and enjoyed our meal and it was absolutely delicious! Our daughter has multiple food allergies and Chef Carmen went the extra mile to make sure that everything was safe for her. After our Italy trip all 5 of us agreed that this class was by far a top highlight! We recommend this to all!Visited August 2024Travelled with familyWritten 15 September 2024

I had taken classes with Chef Carmen while in Sorrento and was very excited to take her live streaming class. I was not disappointed! Chef Carmen's warmth and expertise burst through even on the small screen! All her instructions beforehand and during her demonstrations are clear. All questions beforehand and during are answered quickly. She adjusts seamlessly to differences in amounts, ingredients and time zones. And one more thing that I didn't expect: Having the class with others, in our case someone from the UK, made it feel so wonderfully international! Food was delicious and our time flew by. Chef Carmen is a treasure and an experience not to be missed!

Just finished an online cooking class with Chef Carmen and can’t wait to sign up for another! I’ve done 2 in-person classes at her school in Sorrento, but with the COVID situation, this is the next best thing. Chef Carmen does an excellent job demonstrating and making sure everyone understands the instructions. We made handmade fettuccine with a delicious Bolognese sauce, and sea bass 2 ways - one encrusted with potatoes and baked, and the other aqua pazzo style. Everything is simple to do and tastes amazing! It was a great way to spend 2.5 hours, and now I have a delicious lunch and dinner to enjoy! It is an excellent value, too! Get a group of friends and family together, pour a glass of wine and get ready for some fun and delicious food!

Our family of 8 people which were all adult children and their husband and fiancés had a wonderful experience with Carmen and her crew! Carmen has a great personality and made the class so much fun. We met so many nice people and we learned how to make pasta and eggplant parm the Italian way! Game changer. The whole experience was fun! Snacks and wine and great conversations all night. My husband was reluctant to try eggplant and Carmen changed his mind. Don’t miss this class! You won’t leave hungry!

Chef Carmen not only delivered an incredible lesson to family and friends, but the quality of the instruction and food was beyond compare. I'm a good cook but she revamped the way we look at a number of key approaches and cooking styles and did it with fun and interest in all of her "pupils." We made pasta, cooked prepared and cooked eggplant parmigiana - the right way - and learned the best Bolognese sauce, all while drinking wine and prosecco. Then we wait it. Oh, and the Tiramisu was incredible. Book it today!

One of the best days of my study year abroad in Italy!! I visited Sorrento with a group of friends and we new we had to do a cooking course. Finding the amazing Carmen and her cooking school was the most fun we’ve ever had drinking, eating yummy food and singing our hearts out to Abba. 100% recommend to anyone looking to make memories of a lifetime and making a great friends with Carmen (Chefs kiss) Xx

This virtual cooking class was a delightful experience and we made some delicious food! Chef Carmen was charming and informative about the individual recipes, ingredients and local food culture. She patiently answered all our questions and let each student work at their own pace. My favorite part (besides eating the great food!) was learning some new cooking techniques that I will certainly use moving forward. The virtual meeting connection worked perfectly and it felt like our group of ten was in the kitchen with Chef Carmen. We will definitely do this again!

My daughter & I signed up thru Carmen’s website. We cooked in our own kitchen in Chicago, with Carmen in Italy, friends in Chicago and Pittsburgh, a couple in Russia, and another cook on his boat in the Virgin Islands. Great interaction. We were able to see and interact with everyone. We supplied the ingredients and Carmen brought her expertise. A great way to spend a couple hours. chefcarmensorrento.com

We had a trip booked to go to Italy for 3 weeks but then Covid-19 happened. One of our favourite things to do when visiting Italy is cook with Chef Carmen from Sorrento. Carmen was offering live Zoom classes all the way from Italy, so we decided to have this fun experience with her and bring Italy to Canada instead!
Carmen is patient, professional and so much fun! She sent us the list of ingredients ahead of time and the kitchen tools we needed to have on hand. She gives clear instruction and the internet connection was great over Zoom. We could see everything clearly that she was showing us during the cooking class. We made Spaghetti Nerano & Lasagna Bolognese! Fresh dough for the noodles and all fresh ingredients. It was hit with the whole family for dinner. If your looking for an experience to do with your family or a friend while home, Chef Carmen’s zoom cooking class is amazing !!!!
Thank you Carmen! Can’t wait to see you soon again on our next trip to Sorrento ! Ciao Bella!
