About

We'll take a walk through the Historical Center, learning about traditional ingredients from the vendors at the fresh market. The dishes we prepare will depend on the season and market offerings, ensuring we use only the freshest products.

We will then head to my welcoming kitchen overlooking the sea, providing an unforgettable experience. My home is just a few steps from the main squares of the historic center. Together, we'll cook a first or second course and a dessert, all paired with fine Sicilian wine.

The menu will include an appetizer, a first course (or a second course), and a dessert. You are welcome to take notes and photos during preparation, and you'll leave with the recipe for the main dish. The experience will be conducted in English.

Experience the authentic "Catanese" lifestyle.

"My experience with the market tour and culinary class in Catania was exceptional."

Mariella was not only knowledgeable about the local ingredients and their history but also incredibly passionate about Sicilian cuisine. The market tour itself was a feast for the senses, with her explaining the significance of each ingredient we encountered. The culinary class that followed was the highlight of the day. We learned how to prepare traditional Sicilian dishes from scratch, using the ingredients we had just purchased at the market. The best part was sitting down together to enjoy the meal we had prepared, accompanied by local wine and good conversation. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Catania who wants to explore the local food scene in a meaningful way.

"Mariella's cooking class was a delightful experience!"

She welcomed us into her beautiful home and taught us how to prepare traditional Sicilian dishes. The ingredients were fresh, and her recipes were easy to follow. The meal we shared afterward was one of the best I’ve ever had. Mariella's warmth and hospitality made the experience truly unforgettable. Highly recommend!"

"I had a fantastic time!"

Mariella is not only a great cook but also an excellent teacher. She guided us through each step of making authentic Sicilian dishes, and I learned so much about the local cuisine. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, and the food was delicious. This class is a must-do if you’re visiting Catania.
