About

At the farmhouse, you'll always be met and greeted with a nice locally produced glass of Falanghina or Aglianico wine and previously prepared appetizers. In a comfortable setting around a table, you'll learn about the importance of using seasonal products and the use of them in traditional Italian cooking.

Following this appetizer-time, you'll enjoy a tour through the school's organic vegetable garden. Here, all ingredients will be handpicked directly from nature, including eggs from happy chickens. You'll discover how seasonal, organic products are grown, how to recognize them, and make a selection based on the recipes.

With the guidance of Mother Nature, you'll prepare a delicious 4-course menu following traditional family recipes and cooking techniques.

After the hands-on cooking session, you'll enjoy your starter, pasta dish, main dish, and dessert with an unmissable glass of local wine (or a few).

It's a guarantee; that you'll leave the house with a big smile on your face. Additionally, you'll get a small surprise from the house to take with you.

The class was absolutely fantastic - a perfect day of hands-on Italian cooking with wonderful hosts

My wife and I had an absolutely lovely day with Teresa and Gerardo at their Benevento farmhouse La Tana del Riccio, which means 'The Hedgehog's Den'. If you visit, ask them to tell you the funny story behind the name! Teresa led us through the garden and chicken coop to gather eggs and vegetables that we used to make an absolute feast. Over the course of the day we created Montanarine Fritte, a simple but delicious starter made from fried pizza dough and tomatoes, lasagne with zucchini and courgette flowers, a pork fillet tagine, and a plum crostata. We made the pasta and cooked alongside Teresa as she gave us expert advice and direction on true Italian cooking. By the end of the meal we were completely stuffed but it was totally worth it! It was a great experience, and if you are planning a trip to the Naples area I highly recommend it.

Lovely and authentic!

We’ve had such wonderful afternoon and an authentic experience at La Tana del Riccio. Teresa and her family were very welcoming and great hosts to us…. It was just the two of us and they still made such an effort to show us the farm and how to make several dishes which were all very delicious! Having these for dinner with Teresa and Gerardo and tasting some wine from the neighbors made the evening perfect for us! We would definitely recommend this course to all that want to learn about the food and the people from Campania.. away from all mainstream!

Excellent authentic cuisine cooking class

My husband and I were looking to get an authentic Italian cooking cuisine and Teresa’s class was jut it and even more! The cooking class take place in Teresa and her husband lovely farm house, they gave us a tour in the house and their surrounding and it was just beautiful to see all the animals. We made cheese from freshly milked milk and it was an amazing experience. The food was excellent with all fresh ingredients. We talked with Teresa and her husband for hours and really felt that they opened their home and heart for us. Would highly recommend!

A lovely experience!

Teresa is clearly a passionate and excellent cook! Her unique lasagne was absolutely delicious, the pork dish sublime and everything else was awesome. We had a lovely lunch and a really great and interesting time. I am certainly going to try and recreate the lasagne!!!!! Incredible!

Lovely morning with Teresa.

I attended an authentic Italian cooking class here with Teresa and her family. It was the perfect day! We picked all of the fruits, vegetables and herbs from her garden, where she had home grown them with her lovely husband. I requested a vegan menu and Teresa was happy to accommodate my requirements. :-) We made various bruschetta toppings...they melt in your mouth! Then gnocchi from scratch, with 2 different sauces...the lemon & courgette one was my absolute favourite! Also, various vegetable dishes cooked with her own olive oil. And a scrumptious chocolate desert. I've been home a month now and have really enjoyed using the recipes and techniques that Teresa taught me, in many of my meals...the flavours have revolutionised my cooking! I'd highly recommend a course with Teresa...she's really flexible with the meals she teaches...before you arrive, let her know what meals you want to make and learn and she'll do everything she can to help...her recommendations are excellent! I saw that she also has some lovely rooms that she runs as a B&B...it's such a peaceful and welcoming place...I'd recommend stopping overnight if you were to do a course...so you can enjoy the garden, the relaxing and the authentic Italian home cooking for a bit longer :-) Thank you Teresa and family, I'd love to visit you again on my next visit. All the best, Sandra.xxx
