Immerse yourself in the flavours of Sicily: from the Ancient Market of Ortigia to the creation of typical dishes with Chef Ettore Anastasio
If you are in Sicily and want to immerse yourself completely in the local gastronomic culture, you cannot miss the opportunity to participate in the Cooking Class in Ortigia with Chef Ettore Anastasio. This experience, organised in collaboration with FoodTripGo, will take you to the heart of the Sicilian culinary tradition, guiding you step by step from shopping at the market to the creation of authentic dishes.
A day discovering Sicilian flavours
The tour starts at the Mercato Antico in Ortigia, one of the most fascinating places in Syracuse. In the company of Chef Ettore, you will explore the market stalls, immersing yourself in the scents and colours of this traditional corner of Sicily. You will be guided in the selection of fresh and genuine ingredients that you will later use to prepare your lunch. This shopping phase with the chef is a unique opportunity to discover how to recognise and choose the best local products.
The Cooking Class: put your hands in the dough
After buying the ingredients, Ettore will welcome you into his kitchen, where the practical part of the lesson will begin. You will prepare traditional Sicilian dishes together with the chef, starting from scratch with the creation of fresh pasta and typical condiments. Among the dishes you will learn to cook are traditional Sicilian first and second courses, accompanied by carefully selected local wines. Everything will be concluded with a Sicilian dessert that you will prepare with your own hands.
A complete experience: tasting and final diploma
At the end of the lesson, you will be able to enjoy the fruits of your labour, sharing the meal with the other participants in a convivial and relaxed atmosphere. To make the day even more memorable, you will receive a certificate of participation attesting to your new culinary skills.
