With each step, punctuated by laughter, anecdotes and occasional tastings, you'll experience cooking as the Sicilians do - with heartfelt dedication at the stove and the joy of communal sharing.Upon completion of your culinary creations, you'll gather around the table to savour the fruits of your labour.
