Catania: Market Tour and Cooking Class with Chef Riccardo

It is a lovely experience visiting a traditional market with chef Riccardo to decide what to cook based on the seasonal and Sicilian ingredients available. Our son loves engaging with chef Riccardo while he is treating him as a real chef. We learn valuable cooking techniques and had a great time at their home. Highly consider this and even staying at their airB&B in the future.

It was a super interesting event that I would do again, when I’m next time in Catania. Our group was perfect and the Chef Riccardo and his family Sally and Sabrina are super nice people and great hosts. They invited us in their private lives and that’s made it a perfect experience. And on top of that, the food we created was delicious. Top top top - and thanks to Riccardo and family.

You have the day with a Michelin Star chef shopping tasting and learning. Sharing the day in his home. Meeting his family. Enjoying the meal together. This was truly special. Ricardo also has several Airbnbs. Our next trip here will be a stay at his Airbnb! He has created a wonderful network and is very accessible. We learned so much. Drank great wine. What a wonderful day. Highly recommend.

Loved the day cooking in a relaxed environment. Chef Riccardo and Sally are very friendly and welcoming, making even nervous husbands relaxed and included in all dish preparations, which even they enjoyed 😉 . Great to finish the day enjoying our prepared banquet by the pool, with beautiful local wine and great company. Highly recommended 👌

So, nothing went according to plan, which I don't mind and don't regret at all. Riccardo and his wife Sally were the most welcoming hosts ever! They open their house to you and you are instantly one their family members. I felt warm and welcomed. It was such a great day for me, thank you! The things we cooked were great, but now looking back: that was not the main focus. The focus is to spend a great day with a fabulous family and, if you are as lucky as me, with some other strangers. Great talks, great day - soooo good!

Fantastisch. (Eccezionale 👌😍) Zo ongelofelijk leuk, gastvrij en warm. Hij spreekt verschillende talen en heeft humor. Vertelt met passie over koken en het leven. Is opgegroeid op Sicilië en leert je de kneepjes van het vak. Zelf heb ik alles opgeschreven en ga zeker het gerecht thuis opnieuw koken. Wil je meer zien kijk eens op Instagram (taste_ofsicily) Sally is de host. Kortom een geweldige dag met geweldige mensen. Die nu al weten dat ik terug kom voor een nieuw belevenis. Thx Riccardo & Sally. Liefs Karin Elisabeth

Incredible once in a lifetime experience! Chef Riccardo was wonderful. He made us feel like we were old friends visiting. We had a great experience cooking, we ate & drank, and we had a wonderful conversation. We walked through the market and picked out the food for the days lesson of which we had input of what we would be cooking. We stopped to pickup appetizers, we tasted cheeses & selected some for our meal. We visited the butcher, and the bakery. We made a last stop to taste wine and selected what we would drink with our meal. The entire shopping experience was fun! I know you have many options to pick from, but I promise, you will not be disappointed booking with Chef Riccardo!!!
