Cooking Class Experience in Sicily at Ciriga Sicily Glamping

Cooking Class in Sicily: an authentic experience of traditions, family, and flavors

There are experiences that stay with you.

Experiences that smell like home, like flour-dusted hands, like shared laughter between adults and children, like recipes passed down through generations and traditions that continue to live on.

It is from this very desire that the new cooking class in Sicily at Ciriga Sicily Glamping was born — an immersive activity designed for those who want to truly experience Sicily, not just by visiting it, but by connecting deeply with its most authentic traditions.

The first cooking class took place on Easter Saturday and was dedicated to one of the most iconic desserts of the Ragusa tradition: ricotta cassatelle.

A special, emotional, and engaging experience that brought together Italian and international guests, families, couples, and children, all gathered around a table to share a simple yet meaningful moment.

An authentic Sicilian cooking experience

The cooking class at Ciriga Sicily Glamping is not just a cooking lesson.

It is an authentic, immersive, and convivial experience designed to tell the story of the territory through food.

During this first experience focused on traditional Easter cassatelle, guests learned how to prepare the dough, roll it out, fill it with ricotta, and hand-seal each cassatella — just as it used to be done in Sicilian grandmothers’ homes.

Children kneaded the dough together with their parents, had fun creating their own cassatelle, and enjoyed a beautiful moment of sharing.

Adults learned a new recipe, discovered insights into the culinary traditions of the Ragusa area, and experienced something truly different — deeper and more authentic than usual.

At the end of the cooking class, what remained was more than just a memory.

Each participant took home the cassatelle recipe, some freshly made sweets to enjoy in their accommodation or share with friends and family, and above all, the feeling of having lived a truly genuine moment.
