Come and experience a true Sicilian culinary journey in my home in Pedara, where you can immerse yourself in the aromas, ingredients, and above all, the tradition. In this cooking class, I will have the pleasure of sharing with you the recipes and techniques passed down to me through generations of Sicilian cuisine.
During the class, we will learn how to prepare the famous Sicilian scacciata stuffed with vegetables and cheese — a delicious and authentic appetizer. Next, we will make fresh homemade pasta, strictly following traditional recipes such as pasta alla norma, pasta alla trapanese, or pasta with toasted breadcrumbs. I will also reveal the secrets of Sicilian desserts like biancomangiare, gelo, and ricotta-filled cassatelle. I look forward to welcoming you!

- My mom, my aunt, and I stayed at Mrs. Giampatrizia’s house in December and immediately felt like part of the family! Giampatrizia is an empathetic and very kind person, always attentive and available. Between laughter, chatter, and valuable advice, we cooked scacciate, fresh pasta, and biancomangiare, and every dish was delicious. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and fun: an authentic experience that makes Sicilian cuisine special and that we will remember with great affection. Absolutely worth trying!
- 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!
- 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."
