MEET AGATA "THE SICILIAN MOTHER"

My name is Agata Di Fede, born and raised in Sicily, I define myself as a "cuciniera": a lover of Sicilian home cooking, that of our grandmothers. I learnt to cook traditional Sicilian dishes from my grandmother and my mother, and I did it by observing them. Some recipes, as they explained to me, "had to be watched" because the doses depended on many factors, impossible to quantify.
Now, in turn, I too cook "by eye", that is why in my kitchen, with my students, we learn by practice and for them it is always fun, almost a party!
I love to converse in the kitchen, about the ingredients and about my Sicily. I have experienced that cooking with love is also nourishing the soul ,and is culture. This is what I do with my students in the exchange that takes place between very different cultures, which meet in the kitchen with curiosity and joy.
