    Discover Pasta alla Norma, a true icon of Sicilian cuisine! Legend has it that Catanese playwright Nino Martoglio, upon tasting it, exclaimed, “This is a Norma!”—comparing it to the perfect opera by Vincenzo Bellini. In this cooking class, we’ll make fresh pasta and the traditional sauce: rich tomato and basil, crispy fried eggplant, and a generous sprinkle of salted ricotta. A dish that captures all the flavors and aromas of the Mediterranean. We’ll enjoy our creation together with a glass of Sicilian wine, in a warm and authentic atmosphere. Join me to experience the true taste of Catania!

    I love flavorful and colorful cooking! I'm deeply passionate about traditional Sicilian cuisine—so rich and diverse—and I also adore the historical influences that have shaped it over time, especially through the use of herbs and spices that bring vibrant aromas and a burst of flavor to every dish. I’m equally fond of desserts: I enjoy exploring new tastes, even starting from the most classic recipes. For me, cooking is truly an act of love—it's about hospitality, nourishment, and connection. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a satisfied smile on someone’s face as they enjoy a dish I’ve prepared, accompanied by a good glass of wine and great company. Tiramisù, parmigiana, caponata, fresh pasta, savory pies, couscous, meatballs in countless variations, freshly baked cookies… these are just some of the delights I love to share with my guests, sparking both their taste buds and their curiosity about authentic Italian flavors.
