Highlights
  • Via Gradillo - The meeting place is located a few steps from the main beach (La Praia), the NaturArte artistic route and the very famous Praiano watchtower. Once they arrive home, our guests will sit down to drink a glass of wine made by us and taste a small homemade aperitif, after breaking the ice they will get to work. They will prepare the starter, two types of pasta and sauce (depends on the preparation) and the dessert, using products from our garden or from our fishing moments, following our family’s recipes. They will sit at the table enjoying all their work and finishing with the dessert and the handcrafted digestive or digestives. They will leave us with the awareness of having lived a unique experience and having enriched their culinary experience. The menu and recipes vary based on seasonality and the harvest in the garden and the daily catch. Below are some menu examples.

BEST COOKING EXPERIENCE in Praiano! - Highly recommend this cooking class to anyone looking for an authentic cooking experience. Rocco and Carla made us feel at home and were great hosts. The best part about this was that the emphasis on sustainable and ethical cooking. Everything was sourced from their garden (or their family’s garden) and the wine was 100%organic with grapes from their vineyard. We were served a few starters to kick off the session and a few jugs of fiano (this went down an absolute treat!) and chilled red after. Carla then showed us how to make 9 different shapes of pasta and we could pick 2 to make from scratch! I mean no doubt Carla helped out for the most part because we were all busy chatting away getting to know each other (especially when the wine kicks in..) She then made 2 sauces for the pasta (1 tomato based and the other was sautéed with zucchini, olive oil and a pinch of salt). We had that for dinner and it was absolutely delicious! We were also taught how to make tiramisu and finished off the night with that morsel of delight! Would highly recommend the afternoon session (4pm) as we kicked on for sunset cocktails at a bar next door.

Wonderful Amalfi cooking experience - Had a wonderful cooking experience on the Amalfi coast with Rocco and Carla. Rocco was an attentive host and Carla a patient and friendly cooking guide, who showed us how to make a simple, delicious cherry tomato from scratch and a quick and tasty chocolate dessert. We also had delicious appetizer. You really notice the freshness of the ingredients, which are sourced from the couples garden. We had vegan and non-alcoholic requirements, and Rocco and Carla went out of their way to cater to us. This is a great way to spend an afternoon or evening, as it really feels like cooking with friends (who happen to know how to make delicious Italian food!). Highly recommend

Cooking class with Carla and Rocco at Be Genuine is fantastic! - Our cooking class with Rocco and Carla was fantastic. We had the opportunity to go to their beautiful home and sit amongst their extensive gardens to learn their traditional cooking techniques. From making pasta to Braciole to tiramisu the experience was delicious. Be Genuine is the perfect name for their business because everything about the experience was authentic. Rocco and Carla, their food, their wine and the art of their cooking was true to their family and cultural tradition. If you have the opportunity to have a cooking class with Rocco and Carla at Be Genuine you should absolutely do so.

Amazing cooking class! - Our family participated in a hands-on cooking experience in Italy, and it was absolutely fantastic. This non-touristy cooking class was a highlight of our trip, providing us with an authentic and immersive experience that we will cherish forever.

Great home cooking class! - This is a very personable and great experience if you want to learn how to make your own pasta and tiramisu. You get some great home made wine, all organic products are used and they use home grown tomatoes in the tomato sauce. It's a 3 hour lesson including socializing. Rocco & Carla is a nice couple and they live in a place that has breath taking views.
