Shared Experience
Your experience
An authentic Sicilian experience, a journey through scents, ingredients, traditions and good music. I will welcome you to my home, a retreat that preserves Sicilian warmth and roots, where you can relax by the fireplace in winter or in the cool summer garden, far from the heat of the city. I will share with you the secrets of Sicilian cuisine, handed down from generation to generation. After an aperitif, you will learn how to prepare homemade pasta - maccheroni con il ferretto or busiate - which we will dress with sugo alla norma, sardines and fennel, mollica or, in the summer season, with Trapanese pesto. There will be no shortage of typical Sicilian desserts, such as biancomangiare, gelo and ricotta cakes. To finish, a homemade rosolio with cherries from our own production.

- Io, mia mamma e mia zia siamo state a dicembre a casa della signora Giampatrizia e ci siamo sentite subito come parte della famiglia! Giampatrizia è una persona empatica e gentilissima, sempre attenta e disponibile. Tra risate, chiacchiere e consigli preziosi, abbiamo cucinato scacciate, pasta fresca e biancomangiare e ogni piatto era delizioso. L’atmosfera è calda, accogliente e divertente: un’esperienza autentica che rende speciale la cucina siciliana e che ricorderemo con tanto affetto. Assolutamente da provare!
- Giampatrizia is a wonderful teacher. She welcomed my sister and I into her home, and taught us how to cook numerous traditional Sicilian desserts. I would recommend her to novice cooks and seasoned bakers alike. She also provided a translator, who was equally excellent.
- We loved our time spent cooking in Giampatrizia’s home! She was so welcoming and everything was so delicious. To be able to experience something like that far away from home really made me and my sister’s Christmas very special! Thank you so much for the time spent teaching us!
- We had a great time with Giampatrizia and her family! We learned classic recipes and enjoyed really great food and wine!
- We had a wonderful experience learning how to make homemade pasta and Pasta Norma. Giampatrizia was wonderful and we learned so much. After we finished cooking, we sat down with her and her family and enjoyed our meal and learning about them and their culture.

Cesarina from 2023Location: Pedara (CT) Languages: Italian and EnglishMy kitchen embodies the rich Sicilian tradition passed down through generations, adapted to cater to various dietary needs, including gluten-free cuisine. With no limit on guests, I've hosted gatherings in my garden with abundant food, good music, and carefully curated setups. The Christmas dinners for my banking team were always well-received, with a focus on table arrangements and dish presentation. Beyond Sicilian tradition, I enjoy experimenting with international dishes. My hobbies include crafting jams from my orchard's fruits, making homemade liqueurs, and various preserves."
