Mamma Agata - Cooking Class

About

Mamma Agata’s Cooking School is a hidden culinary gem perched on the Amalfi Coast in the picturesque town of Ravello. Nestled among fragrant lemon orchards and overlooking the turquoise sea, the family‑run kitchen welcomes guests to a hands‑on cooking experience that celebrates traditional Italian flavours and seasonal ingredients. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be greeted by Chiara, the current head chef, who offers freshly‑picked local produce and a modest apron for your own culinary adventure. During the morning session, the class showcases classic recipes – including the famed lemon cake – while the afternoon features a leisurely lunch on the terrace, sampling dishes prepared earlier. The campus also boasts a charming garden where participants can stroll through rows of tomatoes, basil, and olive trees before sipping espresso over a panoramic view of the Mediterranean. The school not only imparts cooking techniques but also provides a living testament to the family’s culinary heritage, having hosted celebrities such as Michael Jordan, Woody Harrelson and Pierce Brosnan. It’s a perfect blend of culinary mastery, organic farming, and scenic beauty, making it a must‑visit for food lovers and cultural explorers alike.
