- Had a wonderful time with Giampatrizia! There were 4 of us and her kitchen was beautiful and set up well for the class. We had our 11 year old nephew along and they did a great job of including him and giving him fun stuff to do. Rosanna did an excellent job translating and the dishes were very interesting and tasty. Was a great time finishing off the class with eating on her beautiful patio and yard and just chatting for a bit. Would definitely recommend!
- We had a wonderful evening with Giampatricia. The food was delicious and plentiful. It was a lot of fun 🤩. Highly recommended!
- A fabulous afternoon with Giampatrizia learning about Sicilian culture and food. We made some delicious dishes that were easy to prepare and will definitely make them at home. Giampatrizia was very welcoming and provided great tips and feedback so we can perfect the dishes at home. It was a pleasure to spend time with her 😊😊😊
- My friend and I are both foodies and love to explore the local cuisines. During our recent trip to Catania, we booked a cooking class with Giampatrizia and it was amazing. She taught us a whole variety of vegetarian dishes special to the region while explaining the specifics: pasta a la norma, Cipollina, caponata con couscous and so much more. It was one of the highlights of my entire trip.
- Giampatrizia led a wonderful cooking class for our family. She was warm, clear, and incredibly thoughtful: reaching out in advance to confirm the menu, tailor options for our children, and ask about language preferences. She even arranged for a delightful colleague to help translate, which made everything seamless. Her kitchen is beautiful and perfectly suited for teaching. She skillfully guided all of us, across varying levels, in making busiate pasta and deepening our understanding of Sicilian cuisine. Our kids loved it so much and were fully engaged the entire time. The added touches (extra dishes and thoughtful details) made the experience feel truly special. It was more than a class; it felt like being welcomed into her home. We highly recommend her, especially for families looking to connect with food and learn something delicious to recreate at home

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."
