Enjoy a 5-hour cooking class led by a professional local chef who will teach you about Sicily’s cuisine heritage. Located at the center of the Mediterranean between the Tyrrhenian and the Ionian sea, Sicily has been, since ancient times, a place of great dominations which in turn created a complex gastronomical culture. Favored ingredients are mainly locally produced vegetables, meat, and local seafood from the dazzling sea that surrounds the island.

Tie your apron and get to cooking under the watchful eye of the professional local chef who will offer helpful guidance along the way to successfully create a typical Sicilian menu.

Get ready to cook two courses featuring meat, fish, and pasta according to local culinary traditions and techniques that you can use to impress family and friends back home!

With your meal ready take a seat and savor your dishes in the most breathtaking location: the Baronessa’s terrace.
