Join Mamma Agata for cooking classes in her beautiful home on a cliff top overlooking the spectacular Amalfi coastline. She has been the chef for many famous Hollywood actors and actresses, journalists and politicians and now invites you into her home to share her simple, yet elegant, traditional Southern Italian recipes.


Mamma Agata’s cooking course takes place in her private home, situated on a cliff top, 1000 feet above the sea level, a very gracious home that majestically overlooks the AMALFI Coastline, with wonderful terraces and a spacious garden full of lemon trees, fruit trees, flowers, vegetables and poultry.

 

She produces nearly all the food that she cooks and has a vast experience in traditional Southern Italian cuisine.

 

Mamma Agata began cooking at age thirteen. She has been the chef for many major Hollywood actors and actresses including Humphrey Bogart, Liz Taylor, Fred Astaire, Jackie Kennedy as well as writers, politicians and international journalists.

 

Mamma Agata invites you into her gorgeous home where she will teach you "elegant simplicity". There is also a small farm with free-range chickens, turkeys and rabbits.

 

Mamma Agata's Italian garden is located below the terrace, so each participant can also learn about growing organic vegetables.
