Hands-on cooking class with bruschetta, 3 recipes (starter, pasta and dessert)
- My special Sicilian cous cous
- Ricotta dumplings with basil from my garden
- Avola almond biscuits
After a tour of the market, where we will buy fresh products of our choice, we will go to my house and cook together.
It will be a pleasant lunch under the banner of typical Sicilian cuisine. I love to cook in company and tell the reason why it is chosen. A certain product in my recipe. I use a lot the products of my land and my city so in my recipes you will often find almonds, from the nearby city of Avola (almond Pizzita of Avola igp) and lemons (the female lemon of Syracuse igp). We will prepare fresh pasta and season it with the fresh ingredients purchased at the market. My secret ingredient in the kitchen is the love for the territory and respect for tradition with some small innovation and customization.

- My cooking course with Gilda was incredibly special and I absolutely loved it. Not only is she incredibly kind and personal and went out of her way to make me feel comfortable, but the food was brilliant. She contacted me in advance offering different options of what we cooked and the food was absolutely delicious. We had a lovely evening eating with her son. Thank you again. l'd recommend this experience to anyone
- My husband and I were on vacation for our Honeymoon. We decided to take a cooking class and Gilda did NOT disappoint. We had the best time and learned so much. This was definitely a highlight of our trip and would highly recommend this to anyone considering it.

- By far, our day with Gilda was the best cooking experience, our family has ever had. The trip through the market was incredible. Gilda taught us volumes about what makes Sililian cuisune so unique. She was a lavish and generous host who taught us a great deal about Sicilian cooking well beyond the exquisite dishes she prepared. Gilda has an impressive education and career as a chef. With her kind and generous personality, learning and cooking with her was a pleasure.
