My name is Daniela and I’ve always loved cooking. I started out preparing meals for my family and friends, until I decided to open up my kitchen to others too, to share my passion and the flavours of my homeland. During my cookery course, I’ll guide you through the traditions of Modica, as we prepare some of my favourite recipes together: rice arancini with peas, hard-boiled egg and provola cheese; ‘Lolli’ made with Modica’s prized broad beans; and delicious fried ricotta cassata, filled with ricotta and chocolate. We’ll knead, cook and uncover the secrets of these specialities together, before savouring them in my garden, nestled amongst centuries-old olive trees. An authentic experience of cooking, conviviality and Sicilian tradition.

- We enjoyed a perfect day at Daniela’s beautiful home! When our GPS sent us to the wrong address, she miraculously tracked us down and welcomed us with wonderful Sicilian hospitality. We arrived as strangers and left as friends! Daniela taught us to make traditional Sicilian lemon gelo and treated us to espresso, Sicilian white wine, and a delicious homemade lunch featuring treasures from her enormous garden, followed by Modica chocolates and homemade impanatigghi. We enjoyed conversation on her patio overlooking her beautiful garden and lemon, olive, and walnut trees. We can’t wait to make lemon gelo for our family back home. This afternoon will be a highlight of our trip! Grazie di tutto, Daniela! ❤️
- We had an absolutely wonderful cooking experience with Daniela! From the moment we arrived at her beautiful home, we felt so warmly welcomed. Everything was prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and we had the pleasure of making and tasting a wonderful variety of delicious dishes. Every bite was full of authentic Sicilian flavors! Daniela is a fantastic host, warm, kind, and passionate about what she does. The whole experience felt personal, relaxed, and truly special. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Sicily! We enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for authentic food, great hospitality, and unforgettable memories. Thank you, Daniela, for such a beautiful experience! ❤️
- We had the most amazing night in our Scacce cooking class. It was more than a class. We did learn how to make scacce. Daniela was the most gracious host. We did the class in her home, which was lovely. We had the most amazing dinner. We had delicious appetizers, the scacce we made, homemade granita, and homemade Modica chocolate. My wife and I had a wonderful evening.
- Daniella was wonderful! Her home was warm and beautiful and she made us feel like part of her family at her kitchen table. In addition to the Scacce we made together, she treated us to appetizers, wine and desserts that she made from home grown ingredients. Daniella was a gracious, warm and delightful host. We wish we could visit Sicily again next year to learn even more from her.

Cesarina from 2026Location: Modica (RG) Languages: Italian, English, SpanishI am Daniela Scollo, and for me cooking is the most authentic way to tell my story, my roots, and my love for my land. I love slow rhythms, genuine flavors, and the traditional gestures that have been passed down through generations. My countryside kitchen in Modica, surrounded by the peaceful beauty of the Hyblaean landscape, is where I welcome my guests with warmth and passion. I enjoy preparing authentic Modican recipes: from the traditional stuffed scacce to homemade fresh pasta and desserts inspired by the famous Modica chocolate. At my table, I bring local, seasonal, and genuine ingredients. Coming to my home means experiencing authentic Sicilian hospitality, sharing food, stories, and moments of conviviality just like in a real family.
