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.

- We had a wonderfully enjoyable experience with Cinzia yesterday. We are still talking and smiling about it. She treated us like old friends, sharing her joy of cooking along with teaching us new skills and dishes. The food tasted wonderful. We are eating some leftovers tonight and are excited to share Cinzia’s food and tips with other family members. I am sad I will not be in Sicily long enough to book another class with her. The afternoon was a highlight of our trip.
- Chinzia is an amazing host who made us feel at home at her beautiful place immediately. Over the course of 3 hours she prepared us the finest of Italian dishes, told us about Sicilian history and culture. She also shared with us valuable secrets about Italian cuisine. But apart from all the fine wines and delicious dishes, she gave us a wonderful time and the sense that we have gained a friend in Sicily.
- 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.
