Here’s an overview of your activity

Sicily is more than the biggest island in the Mediterranean Sea - it is stepped in tradition and influenced by centuries of conquering countries.

Food in Sicily is unique to the world and distinctive in flavor. The extraordinary richness of Sicilian cuisine is a tribute to the Mediterranean Sea and a clear reflection of the cultural layers that have occurred over thousand of years of history of the island. Travelers not only come for its history or its amazing architecture but also for its culinary tradition. This amazing combination of flavors and colors gave birth to one of the most balanced cuisine of the world: the Mediterranean diet, included by UNESCO in the list of intangible cultural heritage.

Sicilian culinary art expresses its best at the dinner table and in the recipes of our Mamma or Nonna, therefore having the opportunity to have a home dinner is a unique experience!

The house is the temple where ancient and traditional rituals take place - cooking is a ritual, and so is consuming the meals. Families seat together at the table, often accompanied by neighbors, friends, and relatives... please, do take your seat and join me at my table!

P.S.: Some dishes may vary according to the season and to the availability of the ingredients. I prefer not to cook for vegans, vegetarians and coeliacs. No pets are allowed in the house.
