Homemade Cooking Class in Catania

Beschreibung

I will take you to my welcoming kitchen overlooking the sea to give you an experience that will remain imprinted in your mind and, I hope, in your heart forever. 

My house is located a few steps from the main squares of the historic center. We will cook a first or second course together and then a dessert, all accompanied by good Sicilian wine! The dishes we prepare will depend on the season and what the market offers, using only the freshest products.

The menu will include an appetizer, a first course (or a second course), and a dessert. During preparation, if you wish, you can take notes and photos, and at the end bring together the recipe for the main dish prepared. The experience will be offered and supported in English.
