Description

Imagine being invited to a friend's house, and all of you preparing Sunday lunch together. Chiara and Walter will give you the guidelines to prepare fresh pasta for ravioli and tagliatelle, and in the meantime, they'll share tricks, secrets, and traditions of how Sicily is really lived. We'll immerse you in an intimate and familiar setting, so you can enjoy an out-of-the-box experience. The activity is aimed at small groups, precisely to maintain that homely intimacy, far from the usual tourist attractions. Our goal isn't just to teach you 'the tricks of the trade,' but to let you taste the authenticity of our land, our traditions, and give you a few hours of reality. Each dish will be explained and told to you through detailed storytelling that will catapult you into another era. Our course is designed for travelers, not tourists. For people who are really interested in discovering places, people, and traditions. Last but not least, you'll taste your creations and realize how easy it is to prepare fresh, wholesome meals that we're sure you'll replicate once you get home. We'll tell you our family stories, fostering a true and authentic exchange between us, while sipping a glass of prosecco on the house. We'll start with dessert: cannoli. Everyone will create their own. We'll let it rest in the fridge while we focus on the fresh pasta for the ravioli. Just flour and eggs, smiles and manual skills. We'll make the sauce, grandma's sauce. You'll take home not only the experience, the recipe, and a good meal, but also an indelible memory of the authenticity of tradition, humanity, and discussion. If you like cooking, learning, listening to stories, and interacting with locals outside of the usual tourist tours, then you've come to the right place.
