  • 1Not Recommended !

    DO NOT BOOK THIS!! We book many tours and this is the only tour I would not recommend. This was not a cooking class, it was a demonstration in a personal home of a person without a “gourmet kitchen” ( also multiple cats walking around on the table where the food was prepared and served ) . There was also no “visit to a market” or tour. Food was subpar at best.

  • 5Special tour that will be a memory never forgotten!

    My daughter and I had such a lovely experience with our host, Patrizia! She was warm and welcoming and full of energy. She taught us how to make beautiful tasty pasta, Sicilian pesto, caponata and a traditional dessert! The meal, wine and company was something we will never forget!

    We did Sicilian cooking class with Lidia, she was amazing. Very patient, explained & showed us techniques how to make arancini, Sicilian pasta & cannolis with great group & sense humour. Thank you for fun day!!!

  • 5Wonderful experience!

    Patricia is amazing. You will not regret taking this class and spending a few hours with her. Our family enjoyed all we learned about Sicilian cooking but also talking about culture and people and traditions. The food was excellent as was the snacking along the way. I think we could have spent many more hours just chatting with her. A great Sicilian experience!

  • 5Lovely cooking class

    I felt so welcomed from the very beginning. As a solo traveler it very good to be received well. The trip to the market was as informative as the class. I would highly recommend. I can't wait to share these dishes with my family.

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.
