What To Expect

With your teacher Teresa of Syracuse, you will live an authentic experience, made of simple gestures, genuine flavors and family recipes. In this lesson Teresa teaches you how to prepare 3 types of fresh pasta with your own hands. You will only use local flours, eggs and seasonal ingredients.We will also prepare sauces that will be meat, vegetarian or fish (fresh). The skills you will bring with you after cooking class at Teresa's home, will not only be recipes, but an authentic story to share with your family and friends. As a gift you will have a list of local sauces for pasta or bruschetta. This lesson is not only practical but also informative about local products. After class relax and enjoy the flavors, scents and nature that surrounds you.

A delightful experience. Theresa and her house were charming. Making the pastas, sauces, and other dishes was fun. Not a lot of cooking experience required. All delicious. Recipes to take home and easy to make.

Teresa, was truly the best. We made cavatelli with ragu, pizza, and peach fig tiramisu. She catered the menu to meet our groups allergies. She is very clean and fun. At the same time she is very knowledgeable about cooking. Her English is fabulous. The cooking lesson is really organized and her backyard is such a beautiful set up. She provides amazing wine and coffee. So much food you will probably have leftovers too. It’s a really fun group activity. Only 15-20 mins from Ortigia and she organizes the transportation. Teresa sources her ingredients from the local market. Only the best ingredients. The cherries and peaches were so fresh.
WONDERFUL

The most amazing experience!!!! Teresa is so kind and welcoming. She explained everything we were making and going to eat with such careful and thoughtful detail. She is so sweet and wonderful! Not to mention we made the most delicious two pastas, pizza, and a peach cake and it was some of the best I’ve ever had. The ingredients were so fresh and this was SO fun. We got wine and coffee as well!!! If you’re considering booking this while in Sicily- must do!!!!!!!

A special experience in Teresa's kitchen and garden. My wife and I made a delicious tuna ravioli with tuna tartare beforehand and a strawberry desert after. Everything with fresh products we got at the Siracusa market and with fresh herbs from Teresa’s herb garden. If you are ever in Siracusa this cooking workshop is highly recommended.
Excellent cooking class experience in Syracuse
