花園裡的西西里美食烹飪課

Teresa was a great host. She explained all the fresh ingredients used in the recipes and answered all our questions. It was a fun experience. Teresa has a beautiful home. She shared her recipes with us so we can cook them at home. We made arancini, meatballs and a pistachio cake. Delicious! This is the class to take if you want an authentic cooking class!!

My cooking class with Teresa Zimmitti turned out to be a private lesson! Teresa was a wonderful hostess who patiently taught me how to make 3 types of pasta in addition to pumpkin gnocchi, pesto and caponata. Her garden is lovely, a delightful place to cook - and then enjoy the fruit of out labors!

A group of seven of us were on a walking tour of SE Sicily. It happened that one of our group was having a birthday on our last day. As a surprise for her we arranged for all of us to attend a cooking class. From the first contact, Teresa was wonderful. She was very responsive and arranged for transportation to her lovely house. We met in her peaceful garden where she had all the necessary cooking ingredients and utensils laid out. After serving us coffee, we got to work. We cooked caponata (her grandmother's recipe ), made cavatelli from scratch, a pistachio pesto, and a beautiful parmigiana. The gran finale was Teresa helping us to make a classic cannoli filled birthday cake. We delighted in the feast served with chilled white wine. Teresa brought out her home made limoncello as we sang happy birthday. It was a memorable birthday celebration and a highlight of our trip. Grazie mille to our fabulous and talented host, Teresa!!

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.
