What to Expect
My name is Teresa, and I cook out of passion for my family and alongside curious guests who want to learn how to transform food into delicious menus. My traditional Sicilian cooking lessons occur in the Arenella seaside area, just a ten-minute drive from the city. During the lesson, I will guide you through three traditional family recipes in an engaging, clear, and simple way. We will prepare these dishes together, and you can savor them in the garden.
The menu is always seasonal and of the highest quality. If you have time for a Sicilian food experience during your holiday, this will be informative, fun, and interactive. You will achieve new culinary goals. Please inform me of any intolerances or ingredients you dislike.
You will enjoy a relaxing, fragrant, and pleasant environment at my villa, immersing yourself in all seasons.
NOTE:
- The experience is available year-round and takes place at Teresa’s villa on Via Isole Molucche. Since October, guests can also enjoy the class at her elegant city apartment on Corso Gelone, conveniently located near Ortigia.
- For a complete gastronomic experience, a market tour is available (extra). I will explain the typical products, we will shop for ingredients, and I will provide you with a family recipe book along with intelligent recipes. The tour lasts one hour and costs an additional €50 per person, payable on the spot.
