Sorry but you do not understood how it work: the first that book the class can choose the menu,not the others. I asked about any food allergies not about any food you do not like... Did you told me when you meet me in the kitchen about your health reasons? May be I forgot that you do not eat eggs and you should remember me :you preferred to cook, eat and write this review instead . YES: the Sorrento style is stringing mozzarella cheese, this is Italy style to cook!! YES the people chose what to cook and they always ask the same famous italian recipes pasta pizza and so on...it is not my choice: the people look at the recipes and they choose what to cook. YES it is a home kitchen , my home is not a professional kitchen. Next time you take a cooking class when you meet the chef tell him about your health preference even if you wrote it to him month before... do not be silent waiting to write the review.

Dear Tamaram I am Aurora Muti chef-owner of cookandine. I saw all the pictures and reviews you did on trip advisor and I realized that you are a food traveler so your expectation is more than the usual one. Great, you cooked 4 recipes and you said it was good: orecchiette with broccoli sauce, ravioli ricotta and spinaches, parmigiana eggplants and tiramisu dessert. May be chef Elena melted some cheese to top the ravioli without explaining to you because is not a real sauce, it is just melted cheese. I funded hard to believe that my chef Elena was yelling, anyway, she takes care a lot of what she is teaching so maybe she came across too strong while you were cutting. Regards Aurora

Hello Japsterr, I am Aurora chef owner of cook and dine. I really thank you for the comments you did it because helps us to improve our service. Referring to the price of the class, you can find cheaper or more expensive lesson then us but you chose me because I earned 6 years of good review and not for nothing. Just let you know that in Italy it is normal to buy lamb with chicken with fur. You are very welcome to take all the notes you wish. Obviously you either write or cook, but its up to you. Be aware that you will receive all the recipes via email. We wish to share the Italian culinary culture, and we are very happy to support any learning methodology in order to succeed. Regarding the higiene level, you are absolutely right it's very important. Therefore I personally apologise for the dull cooking knives and the kitchen not being spotless as it should have been. I must say that we never received a negative critic on the matter, but we will from now on pay more attention. When the cooking class starts we also ask people to make questions, in order to learn more from the experience.This is not a school but it is my house where we cook together and we share my cooking experience: by the way you learnt and cook all the recipes of the menu. Thank you for your comments, as they will be taken in account. Regards Aurora Muti
