A memorable and rewarding cooking class - We really enjoyed the entire experience. Carmen is an experienced chef, explaining why and how the ingredients should be prepared and mixed together, how you know when each dish is ready, and how to store excess ingredients should you want to make another batch in the future. Each dish was delicious, with flavors we never imagined, and we made it ourselves. Many thanks to Carmen, our new friend

Cooking with Carmen - We had a great time cooking with Carmen. We paid extra to do a market tour with her, and she explained the local market in detail to us and walked us through several parts. We picked our menu together, and she was flexible with my wife not being a seafood lover. We had wine, appetizer, a first and second plate, and a dessert that were all delicious. She was a good teacher, very nice and friendly, and we had such a fun time cooking together.

Sicilian home cooking at its best! - Our entire trip to Sicily was full of highlights, but our day cooking with Carmen was the biggest highlight of all! She invited us into her home, treated us like family and shared recipes and cooking techniques that we will bring home and share with friends and family for years to come.

Just Wonderful! - What a delight it was to be invited to Carmen’s beautiful home and learn how to cook some authentic Sicilian dishes under her skillful eye. We made three separate vegetable dishes, a spaghetti dish with clams and white wine sauce and finished off with the perfect dessert which was lemon gelo with pistachio brittle on top. What a delicious meal and learning experience it was! This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Ortigia.

Cooking Traditional Sicilian Food with Carmen in Siracusa - Carmen is a warm and friendly host and a genuine traditional Sicilian cook. We chose our dishes, pasta ala norma, stuffed calamari, and canaloni for dessert. A beautiful, scrumptious meal, with Sicilian wine of course! We highly recommend this experience.
