Start your Catania cooking class with a welcome aperitif and a tour of Francesco’s historic seaside villa, offering breathtaking views over the Gulf of Ognina. Then step into Francesco’s beautiful home kitchen, complete with hand-painted ceilings and warm Sicilian charm, for a 1.5-hour hands-on cooking experience in Catania. Learn how to make traditional Sicilian pasta from scratch using ancient grains like Tumminia and Russello, along with a fresh tomato sauce and a creamy cannoli filling. As you cook together, Francesco shares expert tips, family recipes, and stories about Sicily’s rich culinary heritage. After the class, sit down to enjoy the delicious meal you helped prepared paired with local Sicilian wine, right by the sea.
If you choose the market option, explore Catania’s iconic fish market, La Pescheria. Dive into the vibrant world of fresh seafood, seasonal produce, and traditional Sicilian street food, while discovering the lively rhythms of local market life with your expert guide. After the market tour, return to Francesco’s home for your hands-on Sicilian cooking class.
