We had a wonderful experience with Teresa. She is kind, patient and an incredible Sicilian cook! We hope to book another cooking lesson with her when we return to Sicily!
It was our first time making cannoli and several other dishes and Teresa made it easy and fun. If you feel like learning delicious Sicilian home cooking in a relaxing environment and with a generous host, I highly recommend cooking with Teresa.
Our family of four had a fantastic cooking class in Teresa's garden. The food was fantastic and my son was able to swim in the ocean afterwards. I would definitely recommend this experience to others.
My name is Teresa, and I was born and raised in Syracuse. I am 54 years old, and I cook with passion for my family and for curious guests who want to learn how to prepare home-cooked Sicilian food. The cooking lesson takes place in my villa in the Arenella seaside area. During this Sicilian experience, you will learn to cook typical local recipes using only fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients. The menu changes regularly, and we will prepare three different recipes.
You will be immersed in nature, cooking outdoors in a relaxing, fragrant, and pleasant environment. If you have time for a food experience during your holiday, this will be an educational, fun, and peaceful activity. You will learn how to transform quality ingredients into delicious traditional dishes, and you will enjoy the food you have cooked yourself. It will be an engaging and fascinating experience, providing you with a great story to tell.
For a complete food experience, you can opt for the market tour (available at an extra cost). During the tour, I will explain typical local products, we will shop for ingredients to cook, and I will provide you with our family cookbook along with smart recipes.
