Anna Tasca Lanza

Where food becomes community.

Anna Tasca Lanza

is a center of Sicilian food knowledge and culture.
The organization was founded in 1989 as a cooking school by Anna herself.

At Anna Tasca Lanza, we offer a different way of seeing, thinking, and engaging with food.
We are a regenerative and transformative space where new approaches to food, culture, and community come alive.

Through week-long culinary stays and immersive programs, we reconnect people to food, place, and community with hands-on learning, sensory engagement, and the quiet rhythms of rural life.

Participants don’t just learn recipes; they harvest, knead, ferment, and taste their way into a deeper understanding of themselves, the land, and the cultures and communities that shape our food systems.
