Hi from Maria Rita!
"I love cooking because it relaxes me and takes me away from the stress of life. I love sweets and decorations and I am constantly studying with first courses, second courses and side dishes. I love the Mediterranean diet, I prefer fish but I like to vary. I love having friends. and family members at home, despite my work I commit a lot, because the table unites .... My family appreciates a lot and always asks for something new to offer on the table "

- Maria was the absolute best host my friends and I could have asked for. She was so inclusive and welcoming. She truly made it feel like we were right at home. She gave us options about what we wanted to make. She made sure we were all comfortable and happy. Maria was also hysterical, I spent half the night laughing. Making pasta is not always easy but Maria made sure to help when it was needed and never moved too fast. Maria, was full of life and made this experience unforgettable. This was hands down my favorite activity during my 2 week trip to Europe! If I ever come back to Syracuse, I will make sure to take another one of Maria's classes!
- Our traditional cooking class was a wonderful experience. Maria Rita presented the class in a fun and educational way capturing the taste of true Sicilian cuisine. The experience felt like eating a meal prepared with love between friends. Maria Rita was generous it what was offered as well as opening her home up to make this a truly authentic experience. I highly recommend this class.
