In the heart of the wonderful Ortigia Island, among the alleys of the old town, you will be able to join a cooking class in a professional kitchen in order to have the chance to discover Sicilian recipes and the most authentic flavours of the island. Are you ready for an immersive experience among aromas, flavours and wholesome ingredients? It is for you to choose whether to make and taste Sicilian street food or other Sicilian cuisine dishes such as caponata, pasta alla norma and typical, traditional desserts. The cooking class will begin in an extraordinary bit of Syracuse, with an appointment at the popular marketplace where, alongside a professional chef, we will only choose local ingredients among fish, vegetables and typical 0-kilometre products. Once grocery shopping is over, we will enjoy a tour round the historic streets of the area before getting in the kitchen to roll up our sleeves and start cooking!
