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.

- We had a lovely time at Fernanda Michela's cooking class. We were picked up at the meeting spot by her daughter while Fernanda picked up the other two couples who signed up at the same time. Fernanda’s house is lovely, and there’s a very comfortable space in the kitchen where we all did the best we could to make pasta in two different shapes! The wine she served was delicious, and we enjoyed sitting down with her and her family, and the other guests for a fantastic meal.
- Group of four (family related) booked a last minute cooking class with Fernanda. It did not disappoint! We loved learning how to make fresh pasta and dessert! I will continue to cook these recipes! Everyone was so kind, we met our Italian family we never knew we had! Grazie!
- We had the best time for our first cooking class experience! It’s what we were looking for in that it felt comfortable like going to someone’s house to hang out and eat while learning something new and about local culture. We learned how to make the best tiramisu and hand made pasta which I’ve never done, and it was better than the restaurants in San Francisco. We’re excited to host dinner parties with our new skills! Fernanda and her daughter Irene are so lovely. They also offered us a taste of homemade bread and olive oil which were also better than restaurants, and were so personable and helped us with rides. Highly recommend!
- Today We learned a Lot about making Pizza at Fernanda‘s Place in her beautiful and big Kitchen. It was an Amazing experience accompanied by red wine and Self-Made Limoncello of Fernanda‘s mother. We made a Lot of different Pizzas with different delicious toppings and We Even learned how to make the dough ourselves and shape it. Thanks to Fernanda’s nice daughter, we could easily Communicate in English. High recommendation to try it by yourself!
- Our cooking class in Sicily was truly one of the highlights of our entire trip! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, relaxed, and completely immersed in the wonderful food and culture of Sicily. The experience was so much more than simply learning how to cook. We learned about traditional Sicilian ingredients, techniques, and the stories behind the dishes, all while having a wonderful time. They even played the traditional Sicilian music we requested. Everything prepared was absolutely delicious, and it was so special to sit down with the family together afterward and enjoy the meal we had created. Fernanda and her daughter, Irene, were warm, patient, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience fun and memorable. There was plenty of laughter, great conversation, dancing, and of course, amazing food! We gathered around a beautifully set table. Fernanda's husband, Nucchio, and son, Allesio, joined in the celebration of good food and local wine. We will remember this experience for a very long time and would wholeheartedly recommend this cooking class to anyone visiting Sicily. If you're looking for an authentic, personal, and delicious Sicilian experience, don't miss this class! It was one of the most memorable experiences of our trip.
