- 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!
- Go have dinner and make pasta with Giampatrizia in Pedara! Giampatrizia welcomed my friend and me into her beautiful home to enjoy a Sicilian dinner prepared with love. She welcomed us with delicious Sicilian appetizers made with home grown tomatoes and olive oil and we got acquainted. Then we got busy making two kinds of pasta in her kitchen. Giampatrizia was very organized and provided a perfect mix of instruction and fun as we got our hands into the dough and worked to develop our technique. The meal was delicious and we left feeling like we had made a friend. We didn't have a car and she helped us arrange a ride home (check transportation logistics before you go if you don't have your own car - the area is spread out and lacks taxis or reliable bus service). Skip the restaurant and have dinner here!
- 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.
- Giampatrizia is all you could imagine an Italian mama would be like. A good cook that controls the kitchen with lots of passion and warmness. She invited us into her cozy home and gave us and unforgettable evening. Also thanks to her husband and Stefania. We were a family of five and Giampatrizias cooking class was the highlight of our holiday in Sicily. We could feel this was not just ‘another day at the office’, but something she did because she lovede it.

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."
