What You’ll Experience

We chose the most loved traditional recipes, Arancini, following the suggestions of local master chefs and we will share its secrets for amazing preparation with you. What you can expect to learn (and taste!) during our Cooking class in Ortygia Syracuse is: Arancini, Caponata or Parmigiana and Cannoli. ARANCINO: Famours all over the world, it consists of a ball of rice stuffed with a variety of ingredients (meat, cooked ham, spinach, pistachios, aubergines and more) and then deep fried in the traditional way. CAPONATA or PARMIGIANA: Caponata is a mixture of fried vegetables (mostly aubergines), seasoned with tomato sauce, celery, onion, olives, capers, sugar and vinegar. PARMIGIANA is a Sicilian dish made with fried, sliced eggplant layered with Parmesan cheese and tomato sauce, then baked. Exquisite! CANNOLO: the wafer, traditionally moulded around a hot metal bar, is filled with a sweet and creamy preparation made with ricotta cheese, candied fruit, crunchy pistachios or dark chocolate chips. This is the perfect class to experience with your partner, family or a group of friends.
