Sicilian Cooking Experience in June - From start to finish, this experience was great! We had Patricia as our host and she was so fabulous and welcoming! We got to walk through the local market and pick our ingredients for our meal and everything was so fresh and tantalizing…to die for! Patricia’s home was very clean and open and she made us feel as if we were all family. I don’t remember what we prepared, just that the wine was flowing along with the conversation and hospitality. I highly encourage everyone to sign up for this Sicilian experience!

Highlight of our holiday - Our evening with Sicilian Days was the highlight of our holiday in Sicily. My mum and I were welcomed into Patrizia’s beautiful home with the ingredients laid out and aprons ready to get us into cooking mode. Then we were shown how the local produce is transformed into a delicious meal. With Patrizia’s guidance we made authentic dishes and learnt about the variations, history and customs associated with the food. All of this was accompanied with great wine and nibbles, and above all wonderful conversation about life and cultures. We greatly enjoyed discovering and understanding the heritage and motivations of the average Sicilian, some of which were aligned with our own. Thank you Patrizia for a remarkable evening that will never leave our hearts. We would highly recommend taking away this real sovereign.

Sicilian cooking you’ll want to re recreate - Fabulous night with delicious food, lots of wine & great conversation! Arriving in Patrizia’s home is like catching up with an old friend, she is so warm & welcoming. Together we made 4 typical Sicilian dishes that I’ve easily recreated again now I’m home. The actual cooking was simple enough for any aspiring cook but the results were delicious. Highlight of our time in Sicily.

A five star evening - Very nice and would recommend it for anyone looking for a lovely evening in Palermo! We were invited into her home, and learned a lot about how to make limoncello and typical Sicilian food.

Amazing menu and Good Company - We had an amazing time cooking and visiting with Patrizia, Giuliana, and of course Nino and Bella (the cats). It was like visiting with “old” new friends. The menu was perfect and delicious! It brought us back to home cooking with our Nonna!! We didn’t take home a bottle of limoncello but, that was ok with us! We will definitely be back to visit and cook again! See you soon Patrizia!
