My wife and I had an amazing experience cooking with Teresa. We’ve done cooking classes before in commercial kitchens, and this class in a local’s home was much more authentic. Our class had 4 people total, so the small group size allowed for a very personalized experience. As for Teresa, she’s very welcoming, friendly and a great instructor. As for the menu, Teresa will either provide you with suggestions or allow you to make a request. We cooked arancini al ragu (upon request) and cannolis, plus a handful of other small appetizers. This experience was very much hands on — with a small group of 4, everyone took turns with each of the key steps in the recipes. All the food turned out to taste magnificent and it was more than enough food for lunch (plus leftovers to takeaway). In addition to the food, we were also served coffee in the morning and wine during lunch. Teresa also sent us home with recipes of the items we cooked and a few of her other favorites that we didn’t cook. Lastly, Teresa’s home was lovely and a great environment for the class. I would certainly return and recommend this experience. A very fun and authentic cooking course!

We had a great time and learned some Sicilian cooking! Teresa was very kind and made us feel welcome. She understands food and is a good teacher. We made ravioli from scratch and cooked pulpo Siciliana. Afterwards a delicious lunch.

I had the most wonderful evening at Teresa’s charming home - cooking traditional Sicilian dishes and enjoying her luscious backyard. The setting is beautiful. After travelling for sometime, it’s nice to be welcomed into someone’s home for a home cooked meal :) Teresa is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, organized & a pleasure to spend time with. She even sent me off with my own book of Sicilian recipes :) I look forward to returning next year. I cannot recommend this experience enough!

Teresa was fantastic ! She took she took the time to tailor the menu to our preferences. She was a great teacher and we learned so much. Not to mention the food was delicious! We had such a relaxing time in her garden and getting to know her. Would love to do it again!

We had a great time today with Teresa! We had no experience making pasta, but with much patience she took us to the market to pick out our fresh seafood (clams and mussels) as well as a freshTuna tartare. It was amazing and now we can make these dishes at home.

Teresa's class was wonderful! We loved that it was intimate and tailor-made for us. Teresa spent lots of time in the lead up helping us choose our menu and taught us all the traditional cooking tips and tricks that you don't necessarily find in a recipe. Our food was delicious! This experience was the perfect way to end our Sicilian adventure.

The cooking class was a highlight of the trip! I've participated in several cooking classes in my travels, and without a doubt, this was the best class. Teresa welcomed us into her home and made us feel like family. We picked out a personalized menu of what we wanted to cook, and together, we cooked one of the most delicious meals of our trip. She also was very accommodating of the food allergies in our group. Highly recommend!

Theresa was an amazing host who clearly loves cooking and does a great job instilling her love with her guests! She was very accommodating trying to pick us up at our hotel and returned us to the same spot. We had an informative tour of the market. And prepared a delicious meal at her home. She even shared the recipes with us so hopefully we can make at home. Lovely experience!

Great experience with a gracious host. Our family had a fun night learning to cook typical Sicilian food. It was well organized and we had booked last minute. We all enjoyed it and now have some recipes that we will make at home.
