Cooking with Teresa, Siracusa, Sicily! - This experience was so worth it! Teresa picked us up, we picked up some fresh fish at a local market and drove to her house. She/we made fresh cavatelli and prepared the sauce with her special ingredients. She had us mix the dough, cut and roll them! We made swordfish, eggplant parm, and stuffed calamari all with her family’s Sicilian recipes using fresh ingredients. Teresa is a great cook and delightful host. When everything was ready, she plated it and served it with a bottle of white wine. It was a beautiful day so we ate outside on her patio. After dinner, she had us try her homemade after dinner drink “Limoncello” that was chilled, and so delicious! If you are visiting Siracusa, be sure to plan for this to get a taste of great home cooking true Sicilian style. Also, if there is anything in particular you would like to learn to cook, you can let her know ahead of time!

Family, Delicious, Educational - Yesterday we were 8 (two families) with Teresa in the garden and cooked caponata, pasta fresca and tiramisú. Teresa involved us all, everyone cooked along and we learned a lot about the dishes. After the cooking we were allowed to enjoy everything at a cozy dinner. Teresa is very nice, knows a lot about Sicilian cuisine and creates a very family atmosphere. Thank you Teresa, we really enjoyed it at your place.

Heart and belly is full and happy - One of the best experiences across Sicily. Teresa was absolutely wonderful and welcomed us into her lovely home. We cooked 3 authentic Italian meals and made everything from scratch with the most fresh and healthy ingredients. We got to have an Italian family food experience and learned so much
