Relaxing cooking workshop with our 2 teenage daughters
Our cooking workshop actually started a few weeks before when Carmen contacted us to discuss which Sicilian dishes we would like to prepare. Communication was smooth and friendly. On the day itself we were warmly welcomed at her home. We immediately got to work and she mainly put our two teenage daughters to work. Before we sat down, we were offered an aperitif on the terrace. The food was super tasty and we even ate it the next day. Our daughters went straight home to make the pasta with pesto ...read more

The Ultimate Sicilian Culinary Experience with Carmen’s Elegant Touch
The cooking class was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip.

Living, tasting, cooking in Syracuse
Totally incredible day with Carmen. We chose the menu, spent the morning at the market seeking out and tasting produce, and then created the most amazing meal.
I have never done a cooking day, and this could not have been more fun, learning, connecting and tasty.
Carmen also added the 'local' element, of understanding the Syracuse and Ortigia landscape. I would very much hope to be back

The best experience we had in Sicily!
The cooking class we did with Carmen was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. From the very beginning, she was thoughtful and curious about what we wanted to learn, invited us to help shape the menu, and offered inspired suggestions that fit perfectly with what we were hoping for.
We absolutely loved our market tour. Sampling local produce and products, learning about different cheeses, capuliato, meats, and locally sourced seafood felt like the perfect first course. Our senses were...read more
