The cooking lesson will be held by Letizia or Giuseppe and their mother Rosa who, like in a real family, will explain the secrets of Sicilian cuisine and at the end, we will eat the dishes together. You will enjoy a real Sicilian experience with a local family.

My husband, adult son, and I attended this class - and it was truly amazing. The leads of this cooking class, Giuseppe and Leticia are fantastic teachers, and excellent hosts. We enjoyed the shopping, and then cooking at their family home. They created a warm and relaxed environment, where everyone participated, and everyone felt comfortable. The food and drinks were amazing (and generous) from start to finish, and we felt like we were visiting with great family friends, helping out, and learning a lot at the same time.

Our day started off in the Ortigia market, where Giuseppe introduced us to Siracusa's summer selection of fruits, the swordfish and sardines, and vegetables. We then drove over to their home a few minutes away for an afternoon of cooking made with the recently bought produce as well as some choice selections from their backyard garden. We did the experience with a 9-year-old and 5-year-old, and they were kept busy with some good cooking tasks. We can only hope this translates into them wanting to cook when they get back home!
Overall, we felt welcomed in the home as we worked our way through a number of recipes, tasting along the way, and couldn't have been happier with the day.
Grazie mille!

This is an amazing experience of Sicily. After going to the market to buy your fresh vegetables and fish Letizia welcomes you into her home and together you cook several Sicilian dishes she learned from her mother and grandmother. Come very hungry because you will be eating a lot of delicious dishes. Letizia is very generous and wants to share with you all that there is of Sicily. You cannot miss this one!!

We had the most wonderful experience with Guiseppe and Letizia for this cooking course. We started by buying seasonal ingredients from the market that we cooked together in their country house. Their extensive vegetable garden provided more ingredients. They were so generous with their time and sharing their passion of the farm to table approach in traditional Sicilian cooking. We started with an aperol and a platter of their homemade produce followed by cooking a 3 course meal that we shared with our group at their dining table. Everything we prepared was absolutely delicious . Highly recommend doing this course when you are visiting Syracuse.

It was an authentic and convivial experience. Witnessing purchasing the produce at the market was great. The group was warmly welcomed into Letizia’s home. All was unrushed, peppered with plenty of tips. We covered a range of recipes and the results were delish. Highly recommend’

This was one of the absolute highlights of our two weeks in Sicily. Shopping and cooking with Giuseppe was a great experience, as was sharing a meal with him and his family. Delicious food, delightful conversation, learning more about the local cuisine-what could be better. Thank you!

We had a fabulous day with the Letizia and her family in Ortigia. She met us in the market where she took us on a shopping trip. There she showed us some of the local delicacies, and how the many cultures that have been to Sicily in the past, influence its cuisine today.
We then went to her lovely home, where we picked fresh herbs and vegetables from her large garden. And then the cooking and eating began! We were given a sample of local cheeses, some made by her father, as well as pistachios and olives. And, of course, some Prosecco!
She then instructed us on how to prepare a Sicilian feast, including making fresh pasta, bruschetta and calamari. It was all delicious. We enjoyed it with a few crisp glasses of wine, followed by homemade strawberry gelato.
If you enjoy cooking, and want to understand more about Sicilian, history, culture, and cuisine, we would highly recommend this to her. We had a great time, and it is definitely one of the highlights of our visit to the beautiful island of Sicily.

It was a fabulous day. We shopped at the Ortigia market for the ingredients for lunch and learned about the local produce and fish. Then we went to Guiseppe’s family home for a wonderful cooking experience. We had a fun time with two other couples learning to make pasta and caponata among other dishes. Would highly recommend.
