Wonderful cooking class

Lauri_D, Apr 2026

We thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class! Teresa was great to communicate with in the planning of our cooking lesson. We enjoyed all the information she gave us and the tour of the market. We were welcomed into Teresa’s home and were shown how to make 4 different recipes. I can’t wait to make the recipes at home for my family. Deliziosa! Grazie!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your review and for appreciating the cuisine of my house. It was a pleasure working with you. Follow me on Instagram and if you come back to Syracuse I will welcome you with a special price for the next lesson. Follow me on Instagram.

COOKING ON A SUNNY SUNDAY

Debrabanwell, Sept 2024

Wow! On a sunny Sunday morning we sat on the patio at our individual boards and learned how to make simple pasta shapes. Teresa then brought us in the kitchen for the hands-on sauce-making and eggplant cutlets frying. When our dishes were ready we sat down to a divine lunch with wine. Salut!

Response from Host, Sept 2024

Thank you for your amazing review, I'm happy to have given the best and made your day 100% relaxing

Excellent Sicilian Culinary Experience

Ralph_C, Jun 2024

An excellent culinary experience. We shopped the market with Teresa, she carefully explained anything we needed, she prepared samples for us, and together we bought the fresh food for the meal. We then cooked at her house with clear instructions and everyone was engaged. We prepared the meal. Teresa was simply wonderful, a warm, funny, and gracious host. We were provided written recipes from a vast selection, not just the meal we made that day.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Grazie e’ stato un piacere conoscervi

Highly recommend!

Lucy_H, May 2024

We had such a wonderful time on our class. Teresa is such a patient teacher. We made lovely food in the beautiful surroundings of the garden and having lunch at the end was amazing.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you, the guest reviews are important and a guarantee of a true and advisable experience to all people who are eager to browse my family recipes. I am sure that the location makes the experience different from all the others and all to live on.
