Join this cooking and tasting with Sicilian food and Sicilian recipes that take you on a journey back in time where you can taste the influence of the Greeks, Arabs, and Spaniards. The Sicilian cuisine reflects the saltiness of the Mediterranean Sea, the flavor of the shiny, tasty, and colorful vegetables of the Sicilian soil, the sweetness of the Arabic fruits and Latin American flavors of the Spanish Empire. A language is not the result of a set of grammar rules. A language is the result of a culture and its traditions, history, lifestyle, and places. You can combine an Italian language course in the group with a cooking course with a professional chef. This is the perfect holiday for you who wish to enjoy a fuller cultural experience in Sicily and not be just a simple tourist but a real traveler!

Most people do not seem to realize how much Sicily has to offer. With its sun, its beige pebble and sandy beaches, its warm aqua blue water, its snow-topped volcano of Mount Etna, its forests, and rolling golden hills, Sicily has always been at the center of the Mediterranean Sea, and therefore, it has always been at the center of Mediterranian history.
Sicily is at the center of the Mediterranean Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea has been the center of western civilization since 3,000 years ago. Every major civilization that wanted to have power in Europe and over the Mediterranean Sea had to own Sicily. And down through the last almost 3,000 years of the history, every major Mediterranean civilization has left its mark on Sicily! Important artistic, architectural, and cultural remains are visible in virtually every town at virtually every corner of this island in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea.
