Stefania

I am Stefania, a teacher with a great passion for cooking, an art that for me represents much more than just preparing dishes. Cooking is love, tradition, sharing, and friendship. I enjoy creating both sweet and savory dishes, with a particular focus on leavened products, which require patience and dedication. The traditional cuisine of my beloved Sicily is my deepest source of inspiration: the recipes passed down from my grandmother and mother are treasures I strive to preserve and share.Through cooking, I express care and affection, keeping family and cultural traditions alive. Often, the dishes I prepare tell a story, a connection to my roots and to the people I love. For me, cooking is a moment of togetherness, an opportunity to share not only food but also emotions, friendship, and precious memories.

This was a 10/10 experience for authentic Italian cooking class. Stefania was an excellent hostess- so kind, friendly, genuine and immediately made us feel welcome in her home. She went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. The food was delicious, the instructions were easy to follow and we had so much fun! We are so grateful to have had this experience. HIGHLY recommend!!!

We had a fabulous time with Stefania! She explained and demonstrated everything wonderfully. It was so generous of her to open her home to us. We can’t wait to get home and make more of the delicious recipes and techniques she shared with us!

Thank you Stefania for one of the highlights of our trip!! And thank you for sharing your beautiful home, truly special family, and most of all, your amazing talents and recipes with us. It is a memory we will treasure and revisit each time we share one of your meals with our family and friends. There is nothing more special than the joy of sharing food and traditions… thank you again for becoming part of ours!

An experience we will remember for a lifetime!! Stefania and her husband opened their lovely home to us to teach us some Italian cooking skills! When we booked, we knew we wanted to do something different than the other excursions we booked with Viator. We were not sure what to expect to be honest, that immediately changed upon meeting Stefania! We had SO much! What a joyful experience she provided! She had our workstations all prepped and ready with everything we needed. She demonstrated how-to prepare the dough, knead, and put through the pasta maker and how to cut. Then we each got to do the same as she assisted and coached as needed. It was so fun, we had a blast! We got to eat what we made, a meat sauce with ribbon cut pasta (maybe Tagliatelle?) and Cheese Ravioli…both served with amazing sauces! For dessert, we had the most amazing Tiramisu we have ever eaten…complete with her homemade ladyfingers!! Stefania, her husband and son opened their lovely home to share their skills and passion for cooking and creating wonderful dishes. In turn, they left us with an experience we will never forget. We had an absolutely wonderful day! When we go back to Messina, we’d love to catch up with these wonderful people!!

Stefania was such a pleasure. The class was nicely done and at a level for all cooks. The food was phenomenal. It was amazing to be invited in to Sefania's home along with her husband and her son. This was a fantastic experience that none of us will forget!
