What you'll do

The experience

We start in the garden, picking what we'll cook together.
Then into the kitchen — hands in the dough, simple recipes, everything shaped by hand.

While you cook, we prepare a few seasonal starters to share. The kitchen is open, relaxed, and alive.

When it's ready, we sit down and eat — what you've made, plus a few extra dishes from the kitchen.
Wine, dessert, coffee, digestivi included. No rush, just time to enjoy.

What makes us different

Not a class. Just a really good day.

You won't find a lecture hall or a tourist itinerary.
Just a real kitchen, real ingredients, and two friends who've spent years cooking professionally — and this is genuinely how we eat.

Ciao! We're Benedetto and Pasquale.

Benedetto spent years cooking in Paris, then came back to the Amalfi Coast - because there's no kitchen like home.
Pasquale worked the restaurant scene here for years before deciding he wanted to do things differently.


We're friends. Madreterra is what happens when two people who cook for a living finally do it the way they actually like to:
good food, good company.
