Cooking, Culture, Community! - On our first day in Ortigia, Sicily, my friend and I took a cooking class with Teresa at her home. We are older women and joined with a honeymoon couple for this class. Teresa put us right to work making Cavatelli with Sicilian pesto, eggplant parmigiana, and cannoli. We started with the pasta and pesto from scratch, did most of the eggplant pie and finished with rolling the cannoli shells and preparing the salted ricotta and sugar for the filling. Teresa is a wonderful cook and teacher with a welcoming spirit and we learned so much about Sicily and its cuisine. The food we made was really good! We polished it off in her garden with some good wine and conversation. This was one of the best experiences of our visit to Sicily.

Best Cooking Class in Sicily - Fantastic experience. Teresa was passionate, skillful, and kind. A fun and wonderful class. Lots of delicious food we got to prepare and vino to drink. Multiple authentic Sicilian dishes with beautiful scenery of the surrounding fauna and landscape. An experience you’ll never forget.

A must do Sicilian cooking experience - This cooking experience with Teresa in her home and garden is as real as it gets. Family recipes that have been passed down through Sicilian generations, made with fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients. The food is, simply put, incredible-- something you could never find in a restaurant, and everyday is something different Teresa shares these recipes, expertise, and techniques with passion and love for la cucina. And, there's homemade limoncello to cap it all off

COOKING ON A SUNNY SUNDAY - Wow! On a sunny Sunday morning we sat on the patio at our individual boards and learned how to make simple pasta shapes. Teresa then brought us in the kitchen for the hands-on sauce-making and eggplant cutlets frying. When our dishes were ready we sat down to a divine lunch with wine. Salut!
