In the very heart of Sicily, among fields of corn and lunar landscapes, in the centre of an ideal triangle that has Palermo, Enna and Agrigento as its tips, we find the Regaleali estate. Here the extraordinary cooking school - A Sicilian cooking experience – has its base, founded by the marchioness Anna Tasca Lanza of the family with the same name that produces the Tasca d’Almerita wines and which is now continued by the daughter Fabrizia.

 

Anna’s skills, the fabulous location and the goodness of the ingredients instantly conquered overseas foodies and gourmets. Volcanic and unstoppable, with time Fabrizia has managed to establish new contacts and schedule courses for an increasingly demanding, diversified and sophisticated public: from newlyweds on their honeymoon, to the manager who wants to test himself, up to the lady who wants to embark on a journey unlike any others. After her mother died two years ago, Fabrizia took over her inheritance, transforming the cooking school into a fascinating journey to discover the territory.

 

«I like to look at cooking with the eye of an anthropologist and imagine a course as a meeting around the table of a group of women: mother, daughters, sisters, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I want this to be breathed in my school».

Fabrizia’s Sicily is an Eastern outpost in the West, a crossroads of culture, a precious crucible of food and flavours: her passion and skill in telling it have led her to teach at the Boston University as well as to continue her mother’s successful tours in America’s most important restaurants.
