- Eggplant, peppers, onion and tomato stewed
- Fresh pasta with swordfish and aubergines
- Biancomangiare (almond milk pudding)
After a tour of the market, where we will buy fresh products of our choice, we will go to my house and cook together.It will be a pleasant lunch under the banner of typical Sicilian cuisine. I love to cook in company and tell the reason why it is chosen.
A certain product in my recipe. I use a lot the products of my land and my city so in my recipes you will often find almonds, from the nearby city of Avola (almond of Avola igp) and lemons (the female lemon of Syracuse igp). We will prepare fresh pasta and season it with the fresh ingredients purchased at the market. My secret ingredient in the kitchen is the love for the territory and respect for tradition with some small innovation and customization.

- What a great day. Gilda picked me up and we went to the market in Siracusa together. A great experience and Gilda knows everybody at the market. Afterwards we went to Gildas house to cook together with the ingredients purchased. We made swordfish caponata, timbale, stuffed squid and ricotta cannoli. Everything was very delicious and I will make all these delicious recipes at home. Thank you for a wonderful day!
- Abbiamo vissuto un’esperienza meravigliosa grazie a Gilda, che ci ha accolte nella sua splendida casa con grande cura e attenzione ai dettagli. Ogni angolo era curato con amore, creando un’atmosfera calda e accogliente perfetta per il nostro addio al nubilato. Il corso di cucina è stato divertente e coinvolgente: Gilda ha pensato a tutto, guidandoci con professionalità e passione nella preparazione di piatti deliziosi. Ogni portata è stata un trionfo di sapori e condivisione, trasformando la cena in un momento speciale che ricorderemo a lungo. Grazie di cuore per questa esperienza unica, che consigliamo a chiunque voglia vivere una serata all’insegna del buon cibo, della convivialità e del calore di una vera casa!
- I would like to comment and say how wonderful Gilda was - it was one of the highlights of our trip We loved her and her passion kindness - food we made was amazing We had the best time and I can’t say enough how wonderful she was and how she went above and beyond to accommodate us and our schedule She was so friendly and caring and it was like we knew each other for years Thank you to Gilda!!!
- By far, our day with Gilda was the best cooking experience, our family has ever had. The trip through the market was incredible. Gilda taught us volumes about what makes Sililian cuisune so unique. She was a lavish and generous host who taught us a great deal about Sicilian cooking well beyond the exquisite dishes she prepared. Gilda has an impressive education and career as a chef. With her kind and generous personality, learning and cooking with her was a pleasure.
- It was a really great experience. Gilda has welcomed us in her house and we felt like at home. She knows a lot about cooking and taught us how to make the perfect pasta. We cooked two different pasta dishes together and prepared a tiramisu. Then we ate together with her family. It was simply a perfect evening.

Following the aroma emanating from the traditional Sicilian dishes will bring you to Gilda’s, our Cesarina. Gilda has an innate passion for cooking. She loves to cook and receive friends and relatives, organizing lunches and dinners at home.
