Mamma is worth every penny, and then some! I had such an amazing experience, one that I wish I could relive. When I think back to all my trips to Europe, all the sites and restaurants, this is absolutely at the top of my list for most memorable experiences.
Let me paint the picture for you. It's an all day cooking class at Mamma's home in Ravello. We hired a driver who picked us up and dropped us off in Positano - I recommend you do the same and hire a driver. Upon arrival you're greeted with a warm smile, hug, and hello from Chiara, Mamma's daughter, who ultimately runs the show. You're then greeted with the best lemon cake you'll ever have in your life. Once the whole group arrives, Chiara sets the stage for the day and everyone heads to the kitchen and the cooking begins.
Chiara, her husband Gennaro, and of course, Mamma, do all the cooking as they share tips and tricks. The wine starts flowing, the sampling begins and the day just progresses from there. Their home is stunning - it's located on a cliff and the views are special. Our group was great - about 12 people or so (mainly married couples). The food was incredible - such good quality and taste. Those fritters...are you kidding me?!? This is not a cheap experience, but it's one you will never forget. read more
