In this hands-on ‘Taste of Sicily’ cooking class, you’ll prepare and enjoy a three-course Sicilian lunch, starting with bruschetta and then making fresh pasta from scratch just as it's done in Southern Italy, paired with a rustic Sicilian sauce and finish a delicious apple fig crostata for dessert. 
In this cooking class, you'll create:
  • Roasted Capsicum Bruschetta - a delightful blend of sweet roasted capsicum, crusty Italian bread, and creamy ricotta.
  • Fresh Pasta Shapes - have fun rolling out pasta shapes including casarecce, fusilli and orecchiette.
  • Chicken Casarecce alla Norma - a Sicilian classic combining eggplant, tomato, fresh basil & chicken.
  • Sicilian Dessert - a rustic treat where we make a delicate pastry base and fill it with fruit and nuts.
This menu showcases the Sicilian way of embracing strong, bold flavours like tomatoes, olive oil, Mediterranean vegetables, citrus, herbs and spices. After cooking, we’ll gather in true “Italian style” to enjoy our three-course meal, allowing you to experience the spirit of Southern Italy with every bite.
Throughout the cooking experience, you'll learn valuable skills to recreate these authentic Italian dishes at home, impressing your loved ones with the essence of Southern Italian culinary tradition. Join us for an unforgettable experience.

Ciao, I’m Antonella and I’m passionate about bringing the authentic flavours of Italy into your home!
My love for cooking began at the age of seven, cooking alongside my mother. Together, we created a cherished handwritten cookbook filled with recipes and tips she passed down to me. Those early experiences ignited a lifelong passion for sharing the joy of Italian cooking with people like you.
WHY COOK WITH ME?
I bring a unique blend of my Italian heritage and professional training to every class. After leaving the corporate world to follow my heart, I trained as a chef at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School, began selling fresh Italian products at farmers markets, and worked alongside top chefs in restaurants and function centres.
For over 18 years, I’ve been teaching Italian cooking - both online and in-person – helping home cooks like you fall in love with good and flavourful Italian food.
Pass the Parmesan Italian Cooking School: Teaching is where my heart lies, and it inspired me to create my very own cooking school. I love inspiring others and sharing my knowledge through fun and interactive classes to master delicious and authentic Italian flavours.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN MY CLASSES:
  • Small class sizes for personal attention
  • Step-by-step guidance so you feel confident every step of the way
  • Authentic Italian recipes that are a joy to make, and even better to eat
  • A friendly, relaxed atmosphere where questions and laughter are always welcome!
Whether you're just starting out or ready to take your cooking skills to the next level, join me to cook, learn and share the joy of Italian food together.
I can't wait to welcome you!
