点评:My cooking class with Foodies of Sorrento in Meta was a true highlight of our trip to Italy. From the moment my wife and I arrived, Sacha and Giovanna greeted us with genuine warmth and joy, immediately making us feel not just welcome, but like part of their extended family. Their passion for Southern Italian cuisine, combined with their gracious and engaging teaching style, made the entire experience feel personal, relaxed, and incredibly special.
The instruction itself was outstanding—thoughtful, detailed, and rooted in tradition. We didn’t just follow recipes; we explored the heritage and intention behind every dish. With Sacha and Giovanna’s guidance, we hand-crafted everything from scratch: spaghetti with cacio e pepe, pillowy ravioli filled with a Sorrento lemon ricotta with vibrant pesto, and delicate tortellini in a delicate San Marzano tomato sauce. The focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients and classic methods brought these dishes to life in the most authentic way. They explained away the mistique in a way that made us believe “we can do this at home!”
An added and unexpected delight was the location itself—just outside the crowded heart of Sorrento, in the peaceful town of Meta. Being away from the busy tourist center elevated the entire experience, giving it a sense of intimacy and luxury that felt exclusive and rare. It was like discovering a hidden gem, tucked away from the noise, where the real magic of the Amalfi Coast unfolded for us.
If you’re looking for more than just a cooking class—if you want a genuine connection to culture, tradition, and the warm spirit of Italian hospitality—Foodies of Sorrento is an absolute must. Sacha and Giovanna have created something truly exceptional.
Siamo in Famiglia,

教学本身非常出色——周到细致,根植于传统。我们不只是照着菜谱做,而是探索每道菜背后的传承和意图。在萨沙和乔凡娜的指导下,我们从零开始亲手制作每一道菜:奶酪辣椒意面、松软的索伦托柠檬乳清干酪馅料搭配浓郁的香蒜酱的馄饨,以及淋上圣马扎诺番茄酱的精致意大利饺。他们对新鲜优质的食材和经典的烹饪方法的执着,让这些菜肴以最地道的方式焕发出新的生命力。他们以一种让我们相信“在家也能做”的方式,为我们解开了神秘的谜团。
更令人惊喜的是场地本身——就在索伦托喧闹的市中心之外,宁静的梅塔小镇。远离喧嚣的旅游中心,提升了整个体验,赋予了我们一种私密而奢华的感觉,令人感到专属而罕见。这就像发现了一颗隐藏的宝石,远离喧嚣,阿马尔菲海岸的真正魅力就在这里展现在我们面前。
如果您不仅仅是想参加烹饪课,而是想真正地体验文化、传统以及意大利热情好客的精神,那么“索伦托美食家”绝对是您的不二之选。萨沙和乔凡娜创造了真正非凡的体验。
我们一家人,
Ciccio
