Immerse yourself in the rich history of Neapolitan classics, Braciole and Spaghetti alla Nerano in a private Italian cooking class

The bustling and gritty city of Naples and the southern coastline are home to some of Italy's most famous foods.  Rich soil impacted by Mount Vesuvius, culinary influence from the Greeks, Sicilians and more - Neapolitan food is often the first we think of when we think of Italy itself. 


In this private virtual cooking class you and your loved ones will join our chefs, live from Italy. You'll start your class with the much-loved Braciole. Similar to German Roulade, you'll learn how to achieve perfectly pounded meat, stuffed with a variety of fillings including pine nuts and raisins, then you'll roll away and tuck your creations into a rich sauce to simmer away. While you enjoy the warm aromas from your stove, you'll master the now famous Spaghetti alla Nerano. Perhaps the original "zoodles" Spaghetti alla Nerano is the namesake dish from a small town on the beautiful Amalfi coast, Nerano, and is where this dish originated.  This decadent and creamy pasta is filled with a favorite of the summer season, lots of fried zucchini. Your third dish will be Eggplant Scarpone which translates to "stuffed boots". Delicious and an excellent side for many Italian meals.


Take a trip to the south of Italy in this cooking class that will remind you of the winding streets and fabulous views of Italy.

What an amazing experience! Through a little online research, I found The Chef and The Dish for my foodie husband’s 50th birthday. There are so many delicious courses offered. He decided on the pasta making class with Ravioli and Tortellini. The first step was a prep class the weekend before with the Kitchen Assistant. She went over the ingredient list, tools needed, made sure our Skype was working, and asked a lot of questions about our background… See More

The Chef & The Dish fell nothing short of phenomenal. Such a personal and authentic experience! Chef Carlotta, our lovely guide, showed us around Naples in such a beautiful way! We couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. The food was outstanding, as was the wine and the company. Absolutely recommend this for anyone who loves good food and having fun in the kitchen. It made us beginners feel like total professionals. We will keep this with us forever!
