I paid 176USD and was not worth it. Was not English speaking and no professional chef. Because Anna spoke no English both the market tour and the class were difficult. We made 1 portion of fresh pasta each and no other cooking or instruction. All food was prepared and made by Anna and her husband. No recipes at the end of the day. Although pleasant hosts this was simply not worth the money

Lele was wonderful. We sent our two girls to his cooking class and they had such a great time. They learned a great deal about seafood in general and about Sicilian cooking. Lele was an incredible host.
