Private Experience
Your experience
  • 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.

Abbiamo vissuto un’esperienza meravigliosa grazie a Gilda, che ci ha accolte nella sua splendida casa con grande cura e attenzione ai dettagli. Ogni angolo era curato con amore, creando un’atmosfera calda e accogliente perfetta per il nostro addio al nubilato. Il corso di cucina è stato divertente e coinvolgente: Gilda ha pensato a tutto, guidandoci con professionalità e passione nella preparazione di piatti deliziosi. Ogni portata è stata un trionfo di sapori e condivisione, trasformando la cena in un momento speciale che ricorderemo a lungo. Grazie di cuore per questa esperienza unica, che consigliamo a chiunque voglia vivere una serata all’insegna del buon cibo, della convivialità e del calore di una vera casa!

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.

It was a really great experience. Gilda has welcomed us in her house and we felt like at home. She knows a lot about cooking and taught us how to make the perfect pasta. We cooked two different pasta dishes together and prepared a tiramisu. Then we ate together with her family. It was simply a perfect evening.

Gilda is such a wonderful person and a delight to learn from. She is very friendly and makes the experience entertaining and fun. We learned so much from spending time with her and we are excited to try the recipes at home. Highly recommend her if you are in Sicily. This was one of our favorite experiences during our trip!

Gilda
Cesarina from 2018Location: Syracuse    Languages: Italian and English
From its fascinating position on the sea to its archaeological monuments, Syracuse is the perfect city to lounge under the sun on its beautiful beaches, experience a classic tragedy in the ancient Greek theater or lose oneself in the narrow streets of Ortigia, the historic center, following the sounds, colors or the tantalizing aroma of Sicilian cuisine... Following the aroma emanating from the traditional Sicilian dishes will bring you to Gilda’s, our Cesarina. Gilda has an innate passion for cooking. She loves to cook and receive friends and relatives, organizing lunches and dinners at home. Gilda makes you feel at home and the atmosphere is cheerful and lively, and her table is always full of flowers and colorful!
