Your experience

    I love adding a modern twist to traditional dishes, enhancing the aromas and flavors of our land. In this course I will guide you in the preparation of three typical dishes revisited in a gourmet key. We will start with grandma's salad, a classic from Catania made more refined with datterini, oregano "scopazza," soft salted ricotta and nocellara dell'Etna olive oil. We will continue with an almond pesto pasta, enriched by the freshness of lemon zest. We will conclude with a Sicilian tiramisu with Marsala wine. The experience will be accompanied by traditional Sicilian tastings.

    We had the most incredible time learning to make arancini and tiramisu with maurizio. He welcomed us into his apartment and treated us to food and wine and music. We learned how to make the food the authentic Sicilian way and had fun doing it. Highly recommend!

    I had a great time with Maurizio learning how to cook some traditional Sicilian dishes. The food was great, I learned a lot of secret tips, and had a great afternoon. I would definitely do this again.

    Maurizio, was such a fantastic instructor! He showed us some delicious Italian/Sicilian dishes that we've never heard of but will now cook them for life! He has a great sense of humor and a amazing taste in music. You will not regret taking a class from him ❤️

    I had the chance to do this cooking class with Maurizio, who was an exceptional host. Not only were the dishes prepared (two types of pasta with their sauce and a tiramisu) original and delicious, but he also paired each step with a drink (virgin cocktail, prosecco, wine, etc.). We discussed at length his passion for music and many topics concerning Italy, all in a good atmosphere and very pleasant good humor. We did not see the time pass and went well beyond the three hours of basic class. I highly recommend Maurizio!

    My main expertise lies in pasta dishes, but I don't underestimate the importance of velvety soups and meat and fish entrees. My culinary creations draw inspiration from traditional Sicilian and Calabrian recipes, reinterpreted with a modern twist. I prefer using local ingredients, so-called "zero kilometer" products, to create a unique harmony that enhances the authentic colors, fragrances, and flavors of our region. I invite you to try a pasta dish seasoned with my almond and basil pesto, or an intriguing pistachio and sun-dried tomato pesto. I also offer delightful options made with red tuna and mint; pork or beef fillet enriched with vintage vinegar and white onion cream; potato meatloaf embellished with red tuna and capers. And to sweetly conclude, I propose traditional desserts made with ricotta or pistachio cream, among many other delicacies.
