Highlights
In a familiar and comfortable environment I will guide you step by step to the creation of an entire 3-course Sicilian menu from starter to dessert. You will be greeted by a welcome drink and immediately afterwards you will tie on your apron to start cooking! We will begin by preparing a starter that varies with the season. Then I will reveal the tricks for making the best fresh pasta at home, starting with the dough made of water and flour, which will be topped with a great seasonal sauce that I will teach you how to prepare. We will also make together a traditional dessert according to the season such as water melon jelly or a cassatella with ricotta cheese. At the end of the preparation we will taste the dishes together with some excellent local wine.

5Amazing cooking class with special hosts!
This was an amazing cooking class! Our hosts were one of the most gracious and welcoming couples. They shared their lovely home, stories growing up cooking with grandma, and the history of dishes of Sicily. They were attentive to allergies and food we preferred not to eat and presented a menu for us to cook that was one of the best we’ve had in Sicily. This is a cooking class to be sure is on your list!
5knowledgeable and passionate about food.
This young couple is extraordinarily knowledgeable and passionate about food. The class takes place in their home. They are generous with explanations and answers to questions. The atmosphere is very friendly and casual. We loved it. They are wonderful hosts and teachers.

5Fun and tasty cooking class
Alice and Francesco were warm and welcoming. The lesson was fun and informative and the food was delicious!
5Pasta, Tradition, and Genuine Sicilian Warmth
Alice and Francesco’s Sicilian cooking class was the best part of our Palermo trip. Completely hands-on — we made pasta from scratch, eggplant polpette, and semifreddo, with Alice and Francesco explaining the history behind every dish. They welcomed us into their home, then sat down and shared dinner with us, chatting about Italian heritage and giving us great local tips. Warm, generous hosts and a truly authentic experience. Highly recommend!
5Wonderful meal shared with our hosts
We would recommend the traditional Sicilian cooking class 100%. Alice and Francesco were so warm and welcoming and made our experience that much more enjoyable. We made an amazing traditional Sicilian meal including pantesca, fresh pasta ( we learned to make several different types) a green bean/tomato salad and a fantastic dessert made with sheep ricotta. Alice and Francesco taught us so much about all of the different cultural influences in Sicilian cooking and taught us to make a traditional Sicilian meal. This was one of our favorite meals while traveling through Italy and Sicily and we really enjoyed sharing it with our wonderful hosts.

About Palermo
Palermo, capital of Sicily, is a port city of Arab-Norman palaces, gilded mosaics, baroque crossroads and street food.
Palermo was founded by the Phoenicians and later ruled by Arabs, Normans and Spaniards, and the layers show in its buildings. The Norman Palace holds the Palatine Chapel, glittering with gold mosaics, and the cathedral mixes Norman, Gothic and Baroque styles. The Arab-Norman monuments, with the cathedrals of Monreale and Cefalù, are listed by UNESCO.
