COURSES IN SICILIAN AND ITALIAN CUISINE

The courses are held in a typical Sicilian house of the 18th century, surrounded by green countryside, in one of the characteristic villages on the slopes of Etna and only 15 minutes from the center of Catania. The house is set in the pleasant atmosphere of the volcano whose fertile soil and particularly favourable climate provide a rich variety of farming. The area is known for its orange and lemon groves, vineyards producing DOC wine ( the red, rosè and white wine of Etna ), known since Roman times, and luxuriant orchards and market gardens which offer some of the tastiest fruits and vegetables in the world. Also native to the area are the precious pistachio and olive groves which yield an excellent, very pure olive oil.
The lessons are conducted by the gastronomy journalist Eleonora Consoli in Italian, English, or French and are held in her kitchen. They are orientated towards direct exchange with the students , ( male or female and always limited in number ) with the aim of conveying not only the cuisine but also the culture, traditions, habits and customs from which it stems. The courses are based on the more famous Sicilian recipes, focusing on pasta, fish and vegetable dishes. This cuisine is a showcase of the Mediterranean diet. For overseas visitors, we propose intensive courses with three-hour lessons followed by tasting the dishes prepared.
