Noto Kochkurse

Wow, wow, wow!!! My family will treasure this experience forever and always. The host family is full of soul and every expression us full of heart. They truly put the EXTRA in extraordinary. We also met travelers from around the world in our group and became fast friends with similar interests. It was a whole day and we left with lasting memories and full hearts 💞 You won't regret this or ever encounter a similar experience as it can not be duplicated by anyone anywhere.

This day went beyond our expectations. I was traveling with 6other family members. There were about 20 in our group Rather than a regular cooking class in a kitchen, this is an immersive garden-to -able cultural experience. Carlo and Jess share their family traditions in a way that made the experience very special for everyone and people from all over the world were sharing their own cultural 'flavors.'. We LOVED it!! And, oh THE FOOD!! The food was amazing!! It was a feast! I originally bought tickets for 5 of us because I am a Celiac and a sister is a gluten-free vegan. But while making arrangements, Carlo heard that, he said "No! You have to be together! We can take care of gluten allergies and vegan diets.". We were both SO happy we went. We ate really well and were overwhelmed by their hospitality and delicious meal. This is a must-do!!

This was not just a cooking class or a farm-to-table workshop, it was a very real and warm experience. Carlo and Jessy express their love for Sicilian traditions - it warms your heart. To be part of the harvesting, cooking and the traditional game was a true honor! If you’re on the island, you should definitely book with Carlo and Jessy!

I wish I could give this experience 10 Stars!! Carlo and his charming wife, Jesse, are perfect hosts. This is not just a "farm-to-table" experience: it's about hard work, turning a dream into a reality, food, family, and fun--and, most importantly, love. We told stories, sang songs, laughed, and at times, even cried. Carlo described the archeological history of the site and the strong connections to the Sicilian culture, Jesse described how the liturgical calendar is linked to the crop harvest while picking sprigs of fennel. Their children hand-made pasta sheets that we formed into garden-fresh ravioli!! We ended the hot day drinking wine and diving into a cold river. It was simply unbelievable and unforgettable.

Die Geschichte dieses historisch bedeutsamen Anwesens war faszinierend, ebenso wie die vielen archäologischen Funde unter dem dichten Bewuchs, der erst freigelegt werden musste. Entstanden ist ein wunderschöner Ort auf dem Land mit einem traumhaften Haus und Garten, wo wir an einem herrlichen Nachmittag selbst ernten, kochen und uns mit Gleichgesinnten austauschen konnten. Wir haben schon einmal an einem der üblichen Kochkurse in Ortigia teilgenommen, bei dem man auf den Markt geht und dann Schwertfisch mit regionalen Produkten zubereitet, aber dieser Kurs war um ein Vielfaches unterhaltsamer und zudem viel interessanter. Wir können dieses Erlebnis wärmstens empfehlen!

Es hat uns viel Spaß gemacht, Ravioli aus selbstgemahlenem Mehl zuzubereiten. Außerdem durften wir das Gemüse für unser Mittagessen aus ihrem Garten ernten. Die lokalen Weine waren hervorragend, und die Menschen, ihr Haus und ihr Bauernhof waren einfach bezaubernd.
