This one is outstanding

5.00Our Cooking Class in a CountryHouse near Cefalu was outstanding. Our host, Patrizia, is more than cordial, an accomplished chef, welcoming and very accommodating. Want to participate, participate. Want to watch, watch. The Country House was wonderfully located half way up the mountain with a spansive view right down to the sea. Every angle was breathtaking. Cook a bit, have some wine, check out the view, rinse and repeat. Insights provided not only to the Sicilian food but the culture as well. It was an outstanding investment in time and funds. Not only is the host most competent in the kitchen but she is kind as well. My wife was experiencing some minor medical concerns and Patrizia went well out of her way to make sure she was accommodated. A very fine lady. We are most grateful to have met.

5.00I had the most wonderful and authentic experience cooking with Patrizia in her country house. The house is so charming and has the most amazing view of surrounding mountains and the sea. I learnt how to prepare Caponata, which is must in Sicilian cooking; simple yet so delicious. We then proceeded to prepare a pasta sauce and some fish, as well as canoli for dessert. I will cherish this experience forever and looking forward to recreate the recipes.

5.00What a wonderful experience with Patrizia in Reitano! Her home was beautiful and our family enjoyed cooking with her. The food and conversation was amazing! Our daughters, ages 11 and 17, enjoyed it so much. They are excited to cook Pasta Norma when we return home to California!
Sicilian cooking in paradise!

5.00My daughter, friends and I just returned from Sicily. One of the highlights was taking a cooking class with Patrizia. The class was in the countryside of Reitano. I felt like we were on a movie set, it was so beautiful. The kitchen setting was outdoors. The weather was perfect. Patrizia had great music playing in the background with wine being poured as we prepared lunch. A variety of cheese was put out to munch on. We made a variety of Sicilian dishes that were so delicious. We bought her cookbook and apron to bring home. I keep looking at my pictures as they are so beautiful. Definitely worth the money!

5.00My wife and I joined Patrizia at her home in Palermo for a Sicilian cooking experience. Top down our favorite experience during our week in Sicily. It felt like we were not taking a class rather experiencing an afternoon with an old friend. The wine was flowing and the food was fabulous. We are looking forward to the countryside experience our next trip there!
