Great fun and food! - I had never done a cooking class before and didn’t know what to expect. It was wonderful! Paulo, our chef, is entertaining, engaging, and a great teacher. We had so much fun and learned so much. We prepared pasta, white fish, eggplant casserole, and a swordfish wrap. All delicious! I highly recommend this class.

A real Sicilian cooking workshop. Varied, instructive and very pleasant. - The group was large, because the rain fell from the sky that day, nevertheless there was plenty to do for everyone who wanted. Not so much actual cooking, but the preparations. We started, despite the rain, with a visit to the local food market, fun and interesting! Beforehand antipasta and then we made different shapes of pasta, a delicious eggplant parmigiana and the typical Sicilian swordfish skewers. The wine, of course, is plentiful. The company was international and therefore very entertaining. Big compliments to the chefs of the restaurant who accompanied us with enthusiasm and humor during this afternoon. It was a great afternoon! Highly recommended!

This cooking class was... - This cooking class was everything I could have asked for. Accompanied by delicious recipes to bring home and make again, we were brought to a market to get fresh veggies and fish for our delectable meal! Made great friends and had great conversation. Many good laughs were shared. I would highly recommend for small groups or solo travelers like myself to go and experience this experience.

Not as expected - The experience was not what we expected, although ultimately we did enjoy most of it. We booked a class for a maximum of 15 but on the day there were over 30 attendees. The room was not prepared for so many, it was extremely crowded & it was very difficult to hear the teacher. Most concerning was the fact that we were not advised to was our hands before making the pasta that we ultimately consumed!
