Mariella was born and raised in Catania, and after working in the confectionery and gift sector for 35 years, she has now decided to dedicate herself to cooking. She is so excited to share her passion for food with travellers visiting Italy. At Mariella’s home you will get glimpse into Sicilian cuisine.

Your Catania cooking lesson will be hands-on, and you will cook together a pasta dish and an starter or a dessert. You might learn to cook linguine with mussels or spaghetti with cuttlefish or pappardelle with clams or pasta alla norma and aubergine parmigiana or caponata or dessert. The dishes you will prepare will depend on the season and what is available in the market, as Mariella likes to use fresh, local and seasonal produce. She will show you to cook a traditional Italian meal, that you will later enjoy with some local Sicilian wine. If you choose the market tour option, please meet Mariella at Piazza Duomo and then walk to the area fish market in Catania. Visit Mariella's favourite vendors and help her buy fish and other ingredients needed for your cooking class. After the market tour walk back to Mariella's home for your cooking class and meal experience.
