Fantastic class - Great experience learning some history and methods of Sicilian cooking with Chef Salvo. The market was interesting as we sampled some street food, learned about choosing fresh fish and fruits, and purchased sweets from a traditional pastry shop. The meal we made together was delicious.

A fun and expertly... - A fun and expertly constructed class inside a professional kitchen, which includes a visit to the street market next door. The instructor Lidia was expert and easy going. Fellow Participants added to the fun and you did learn how to make some quite complicated dishes. A thoroughly enjoyable as well as instructive experience.

Just...Perfect! - What an awesome experience. We did the "Cook like a Sicilian" class. Our 2 chefs, Marcell and Fillipo were excellent. The shopping at the nearby Capo Mercado was fun and interesting (went back 2 more times later in the week). The ARANCINE was better than we had in loca; restaurants, and the pasta and eggplants were tasty (and I don't like eggplant). Finally the Cannoli was perfect size. Our new travel "must" is to take cooking classes in towns we visit around the world, and this one did not disappoint. Definitely recommend.
