About Me
My name is Antonio Sireci, and I am a professional chef and sommelier with international experience. With me, you’ll not only enjoy delicious food but also have the opportunity to talk about fine Sicilian wine.
My passion for cooking started at home, inspired by family recipes passed down from my grandmother and, of course, my mother. This deep love for Sicilian traditions led me to turn my passion into a profession. I was fortunate to study under one of the most traditional and celebrated Sicilian chefs of his time, Maestro Salvatore Cascino (born in 1929).
I’ve also gained valuable experience working abroad, in the United States and Germany. These experiences help me better understand the availability of ingredients in my guests’ home countries, ensuring that the recipes we prepare are both authentic and accessible.
An Overview of What to Expect
Cooking Class:
Join a hands-on and engaging cooking experience! Guided by the chef, guests will prepare a traditional four-course Sicilian meal, step by step, entirely with their own hands. The menu includes fresh pasta and a side dish, making a total of seven delightful preparations.
Restrictions:
Kindly inform us in advance of any food allergies or intolerances. We are happy to cater to dietary needs for vegans, vegetarians, celiacs, and those who are lactose-intolerant.
What’s Included:
The course fee covers an aperitif with three dishes prepared by us, paired with a premium Sicilian sparkling wine. You’ll then enjoy the meal you’ve prepared, accompanied by a selection of Sicilian white and red wines.
Sicilian Hospitality:
True Sicilian hospitality means that water, juice, coffee, and anything else we can provide will always be available to guests throughout the day.
Social:
With your consent, we will take photos during the class to share on our social media channels, capturing the wonderful moments of your culinary experience.
