What a wonderful day we had! Anna has a beautiful cooking school where she taught us how to make fresh pasta, 3 different sauces using fresh seafood, a roasted pepper appetizer, and pistachio cookies, after buying everything we needed from the local market. We met her delightful husband Francesco, and we enjoyed the food of our labors. As a person who loves to cook, I learned so much from Anna, while enjoying wonderful conversation with her and Francesco. It was definitely a highlight of our time in Siracusa/Ortegia. I highly recommend this activity while visiting this lovely town. We made memories to last our lifetime. Bravo Anna!

Beautiful location and kitchen, instruction is well paced to the students’ ability, and the food is amazing! The trip to the market was also very educational and it really helps you appreciate the food and culture even more. Highly recommend!

Thank you Anna! We had a wonderful time cooking with you.
Anna is so welcoming and her cookery school is beautiful. The market trip was a great way to start and decide our menu looking at the fresh ingredients, and Anna also told us so much about the history of Ortigia.
We made fresh pasta which was amazing and our menu was completely tailored to us as vegetarians (though there was a little meat for those who wanted it) and she even had planned a full gluten free version for another member of the group that attended.
Francesco joined us for lunch and was a great host as well - thank you to both Anna and Francesco for being so welcoming and kind, and giving us fantastic final day to our Sicily trip

An amazing cooking class that we found last minute! Beginning with a walk and shop through the market, learning about the various vendors, their foods and even opportunities to taste! We all got to participate in selecting the lunch menu, followed by hands on lesson in making granita, bread fritters, and 3 different types of pastas with 3 different sauces. Anna was an incredible chef/teacher, sharing stories about her cooking career. Her husband joined the group for the final meal, and he too shared stories about life in Sicily. The meal included 3 different wines, and ended with a vast selection of homemade liquors. A definite 5 STAR experience not to be missed!! Thank you Anna for a memorable day.

This was an amazing class! I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning traditional Italian cooking from an expert.

I met up with Anna and two other students and she told us the history of Ortigia and Siracusa on our walk through some beautiful alleys to the market. When we arrived, she let us choose the main ingredients we wanted to work with and built out recipes from those staples. The other students and I chose zucchini leaves, fresh tuna, small fish fry and tomato extract. After a tour of the market, we walked to her brand-new beautiful cooking school. Anna taught us how to make two shapes of homemade pasta, two sauces (a tuna ragù and a vegetable sauce with the zucchini leaves), a fennel salad, small fish fry meatballs, and peach granita. She was an excellent teacher, very encouraging with helpful explanations of how we could adapt these recipes to our home countries and kitchens. At the end, we sat down to lunch—Anna lets you bring a guest, so we had all invited our husbands and had a lovely meal with interesting conversations. Thank you Anna for a wonderful day!!

Loved the cooking class today given by Anne (and her husband) in Ortigia, Siracusa! We learned a lot about the history of the region, the city, the products on the foodmarket, making sauces, homemade pasta and granita-dessert. Definitially a big recommendation!❤️🍝🇮🇹

Een onvergetelijke ervaring. We ontmoetten elkaar op de markt waar we allerlei ingrediënten voor de kookles hebben geproefd en gekocht. Anna vertelde bij de verschillende kramen allerlei leuke en interessante dingen. In de kookschool aangekomen hebben we hierna verschillende gerechten bereid onder de enthousiaste en kundige begeleiding van Anna. Met maar een paar ingrediënten de meest heerlijke gerechten maken. Super leuk! Na het koken hebben we samen genoten van de door ons gekookte gerechten waarbij Francesco en Anna vertelden over allerlei aspecten van de Siciliaanse keuken en geschiedenis. Van harte aanbevolen.
