Hi from Fernanda Michela!
I love traditional Italian cuisine, with a particular fondness for Sicilian dishes. I am a food blogger and a mother who spends many hours a day cooking, always in search of new flavors and recipes, including international ones.

- I had the most wonderful experience at Fernanda’s cooking class! From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed into her beautiful home. Fernanda, along with her sister and daughter, guided us through the process of making fresh, authentic Italian pasta from scratch. Their passion for cooking and sharing Italian culture truly shined throughout the experience. One of the things I appreciated most was how helpful they all were with translating Italian, making sure everyone could follow along and feel included regardless of language barriers. It made the class feel even more personal and engaging. The atmosphere was relaxed, friendly, and full of laughter—and of course, the pasta we made was absolutely delicious! If you're looking for a unique, hands-on cooking experience in a warm and authentic setting, I highly recommend Fernanda's class. It was one of the highlights of my trip!
- We had a fantastic experience at the cooking class in Catania with Cesarina Fernanda. Our group of eight was welcomed like family. Fernanda is truly exceptional, and it’s easy to understand why she’s so well known—her warmth, energy, and professionalism shine from the very first moment. We were greeted with a delicious aperitivo and excellent Sicilian wine, and her sweet family made us feel completely at home in their cozy and inviting house. The highlight for me was learning how to make fresh pasta. I already loved ravioli, but making busiate by hand has become my new favorite anti-stress passion! Fernanda’s instructions were super clear, and we had plenty of time to practice and enjoy the process together. We ended the experience with a beautiful dinner, enjoying the dishes we had prepared. She also shared all the recipes with us, and they’re available on her blog—super useful for recreating everything at home. I’m so happy to bring a taste of Sicily into my kitchen. Absolutely recommended!
- Hicimos el curso de pasta fresca solos mi marido y yo y nos sentimos como en casa. Fernanda y su familia son encantadores, amables, simpaticos y nos enseñaron los trucos y recetas de dos tipos de pasta y de tiramisú. Una experiencia autentica en todos los sentidos. Gracias por enseñarnos un poco mas de vuestra gastronomia y caracter y por ser tan hospitalarios :)
