Loretta

I love preparing traditional dishes from Ragusa and Sicily, using fresh, authentic ingredients and recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. To me, cooking is a way of preserving and sharing the story of my homeland. That's why I'm also passionate about reading and local history: I believe that every recipe reflects the culture, traditions, and memories of the people who created it.Being part of Cesarine gives me the opportunity to share this passion with people from all over the world. I enjoy welcoming my guests as friends, making them feel at home, and offering them an authentic experience filled with genuine flavors, Sicilian traditions, and the warmth and hospitality that make my land so special.

Loretta’s class was so much fun! We enjoyed making tiramisu and pasta and then eating our dishes! We managed with Google Translate to understand the directions. She is very kind and patient! Would definitely recommend this class!

Mike and Diane  - 

We had such a wonderful time meeting Loretta and her brother, speaking Italian, learning about Sicily and learning to cook and enjoying delicious typical Sicilian dishes. We had a joyous evening. Thankyou so much for this fantastic experience

Steve and Gwyneth  - 

We had a wonderful and special morning with Loretta and her grandson Davide. From the very beginning, we felt warmly welcomed and very comfortable. There was plenty of laughter, storytelling, and, of course, cooking together. Our menu, featuring breaded and fried Caciocavallo, traditional Cavati from Ragusa, and lemon Gelo, was delicious. Along the way, we learned a lot about Sicilian cuisine and its traditions and were able to get hands-on ourselves. An authentic, heartfelt, and very entertaining experience that brought us much joy. Many thanks to Loretta and Davide for this lovely morning!

Loretta and her grandson Davide welcomed us into their home like we were old friends. It was a really fun and novel experience for us to be cooked some truly delicious food by an expert cook and fantastic host. I would recommend Loretta’s kitchen to anyone!

We had a wonderful experience with Loretta and her grandson, David. We learned very much about traditional Sicilian menus and how handmade Ragusan Cavati is prepared. The other items on the menu were delicious, and an extra bonus was that Loretta showed me how to prepare coffee in a stovetop mocha coffee pot. I had been terrible! Loretta and David were great hosts and we would highly recommend!!
