Shared Experience
Your experience

    I love blending traditional recipes with something new, always respecting the scents and flavors of our beautiful land. Each thing we will prepare together and enjoy has its own story, which I will tell you in detail. Sicilian almond pesto, for example, a traditional Sicilian recipe for an excellent first course, is enhanced by other scents and flavors of our land.

    Pasta with ricotta cheese, another traditional first course from Catania, is enriched with "'nduja," a typical Calabrian salami that is increasingly becoming part of Sicilian cuisine as well. The "tiramisu," a dessert that is now part of all Italian traditions, will have a Sicilian touch given by the wine "marsala." These dishes will be preceded by several samplings of Sicilian flavors.

    We had an absolute wonderful time at our cooking class with Maurizio! It was the highlight of our trip. Maurizio was a great host and made us feel right at home. He let us do all the cooking and guided us through it all. We made dough and then cavatelli and tiramisu for dessert. We all sat down together in his beautiful dining room and ate our fabulous meal. After dinner, we had a wonderful surprise and he createdmusic for us on his piano! It was so beautiful I was brought to tears. I would highly recommend this cooking class! Maurizio, it's not only a great chef , but a very talented musician !

    We had an absolutely wonderful afternoon. Maurizio was totally accommodating to my two small grandchildren. The food was wonderful but the experience was amazing. We went as a family of my husband and myself as well as my daughter and her husband and our two small grandchildren. The kids felt right at home and we felt part of Maurizio’s family. He was very generous with his time and his experiences. I would highly recommend this class but be prepared to walk away totally packed. We could not believe how much food and wine we consumed.

    It was a very nice and enjoyable day. Maurizio showed me many new things that I brought with me to my own kitchen. I recommend everyone to take part in it.

    It was easily one of the best experience we've ever had. Maurizio was amazing and we had such a great time, it did not feel like something we booked, but a night at our friend's home. He also had great cooking tips and we enjoyed the recipes. Truly once in a lifetime experience, we would recommend.

    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.
