Your experience
An enticing preparation of ancient Sicilian mothers' and grandmothers' recipes for a seven-course menu. I'll show you how easy it is to cook starting from the basics: garlic, oil, onion, and... spices! But beware: an apron and gloves are required to uncover the secrets of this simple, humble, yet extremely tasty cuisine. We'll prepare fava bean or pea macco, pizzas, fresh pasta, and side dishes. And of course, we won't forget the great classics like caponata, peperonata, tomato meatballs, baked anelletti with meat sauce... Let me know your preferred dishes, and I'll create the perfect menu for you.

- A perfect experience for hands on learning with a local who cares about sharing her passion for cooking! It was a delight to spend hours with Cinzia sharing our love for Sicilian food and culture. She went out of her way to make sure I had what I needed to be able to do the same back at home. Grazie!!
- Had a great time with Cinzia Abate and her family. Made us feel like part of the family. The food was delicious as well. Thank you for the great time
- We’ve had an amazing experience. It was so lovely and really felt as we were visiting a family member. The food was delicious. Cinzia was super friendly and a wonderful host.
- Cinzia was a lovely and very welcoming host. She made sure we felt at home in her home. The cooking class was so relaxed and she explained it all in simple steps, that it was nearly impossible to go wrong. She also told us some funny personal stories and let us taste some sicilian specialities. We (3 friends) would absolutely recommend her as a hostess. We left her home with a warm feeling and especially with a full stomach.
- What an amazing and unique experience! Cinzia and Mauritzio were so lovely and welcoming. They prepared a wide variety of traditional Sicilian dishes and were very generous with the portion sizes as well as with the drinks. And best of all everything tasted sooo delicious :). We will keep this evening in our memories for sure and can absolutely recommend these two. Thanks again for the lovely evening.
