This excursion was conducted exactly as promised. We had a short walk from our ship to our host's apartment. She kindly offered us espresso. After coffee we took a short walk to a corner market for spices. Next we went to the open air market for a few olives, salami, and vegetables. Our host generously treated one member of our party to a bar of handmade aloe soap to sooth a sunburn. Next we returned to the apartment to have antipasto, make pizzas, a vegetable tart, homemade pasta, and an incredible chocolate couscous pastry. We enjoyed the meal together with our host and her husband. The table was beautiful and the company was lovely. It was a fabulous excursion that I can easily recommend.

Gilda brought an authentic Sicilian experience to life for us. We went to market with her while she expertly selected the items we would need for our menu. It was then a short drive to her house where we helped her to prepare four dishes for lunch using the ingredients. We were able to create Pasta with Swordfish, caponata, a wonderful courgette (zucchini) flower frittata and Bianco Mangiare an almond milk dessert. Gilda is passionate about cooking and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. Meeting her dogs and husband was a bonus.

We spent an unforgettable day with Gilda. After shopping together at the market, we prepared the dishes with love. Gilda told us so many interesting things about the Sicilian cuisine. She was so incredibly hospitable that we felt at home! We would return anytime and recommend the cooking class to everyone (regardless of age)! Warm Regards Andrey & Morena.

Rosalba was an excellent guide, tutor and hostess. She has no English but that was no problem with the help, where necessary, of translation tools. My wife (and I) learned some secrets of Sicilian cooking, and finished with a lovely lunch. Thanks, Rosalba for having us in your home.

I had a wonderful time visiting artesian shops to buy local ingredients then cooking them with Emanuela, we made pasta by hand a simple but delicious tomato garlic and Basel sauce. Emanuela also made a Tiramisu for dessert, it was lovely spending time with Emanuela and her husband in their home, where I was made so welcome. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone wanting to learn traditional food preparation and be involved in a real Sicilian family lunch. In my opinion Emanuela went above and beyond my expectation.

During the market tour, it was great fun to learn particularly about certain spices and types of fish and cheeses not typically seen in the United States as well as how to use them. The cooking portion of the day would have been worth it just for the tips about how to make a tomato sauce that my friend and I will make great use of it in our own cooking. Teresa was a warm and gracious host as well as an excellent cook and patient teacher. The time we spent with her greatly added to our appreciation of Sicily and its local culture. Anyone who enjoys cooking should not miss this experience. It will definitely be a highlight of their trip that they will happily share with friends and family.

Finger weg, lohnt sich nicht. Wir haben die Cooking Lesson für 3 Generationen gebucht. Leider hab es keinen Rabatt für Kinder. Unsere Menüwünsche wurden erfüllt, Zutaten waren hochwertig. Leider war der Nudelteig schon vorbereitet, aber genau das hätten wir gerne selber gemacht. Unsere Gastgeberin Teresa war am Stück, trotz einer weiteren Dame im Hintergrund, massiv gestresst. Keine Spur von dolce vita, was sich zwangsläufig auf unsere Familie übertragen hat. Allen hat sehr lecker geschmeckt, gerne hätten wir für 3 Gänge mehr Zeit zum Essen gehabt. Die Aufräumarteiben im Hintergrund und die Vorbereitungen für die nächste Gruppe sowie die fleißige Instagramtätigkeit der Gastgeberin taten ihr Übriges. Leider hat man uns nicht gefragt, ob wir die restlichen (selbstgemahten und für teuer Geld bezahlten) Tortellini mitnehmen wollten – es ist ca. 60% übrig geblieben. Die Gruppe nach uns bekamm diese als Vorspeise - s. Insta. Als wir im Begriff waren zu gehen, hat uns Teresa ihr Smartphone gegeben und um Rezession gebeten. Wir fühlten uns überrumpelt, haben aber solide 4 Sterne mit der entsprechenden Bewertung s.o. abgegeben. Vor dem Absenden rief Terese was ins Wohnzimmer zum Sohn und das Internet war sogleich weg. Sie meinte, das macht nichts. Eine Stunde später war unsere ANGEBLICHE Bewertung 5 Stern und „Unsere Menüwünsche wurden erfüllt, Zutaten waren hochwertig“. Der Rest war nicht mehr da. Preis/Leistung nicht gegeben. Geld für Abendessen inversieren, bessere Wahl.
