Hi from Alice!

"I was passionate about cooking and food since I was a child, accomplices grandmother who loved to cook and the whole family who loves to eat well. I therefore decided to pursue a university career in the field of gastronomy. I have faced a multidisciplinary and holistic path that has treated the world of food at 360 o'clock. I love cooking for my family and for others, starting from the choice of recipes and the selection of ingredients. I like to experiment and I'm particularly passionate about pastry and leavened foods. I do research on ancient cookbooks and asking around, especially older ladies, their family recipes. Sicily, like all Italy, has an invaluable gastronomic heritage, whose recipes and preparations vary from house to house, not only between cities and provinces. This gives the palate the opportunity to enjoy the same traditional dishes with different ingredients, techniques and stories."

My friend and I had an amazing cooking experience with Alice and Francesco! They were so nice and knowledgeable and shared their knowledge and experience with us and answered any questions we had. We are very excited to cook with our families and definitely recommend them.

Amazing experience!! Alice is a wonderful cook and she was so patient and did a fantastic job of explaining each step as we prepared the pasta and tiramisu. We laughed, we ate, we drank and had the best meal we’ve had in Sicily!! We will absolutely be back to take another class and highly recommend you attend!

Alice and Francesco are amazing instructors and chefs. We had a wonderful time learning to make pasta and tiramisu, and enjoying the results of our efforts at the table with them. We appreciate them welcoming us into their home and for being so friendly and knowledgable. Their class was one of the highlights of our trip, and we won’t forget it.

We have just finished our 20 day European holiday & learning to make pasta was the highlight of our trip, highly recommend Alice & this activity, it was a good alternative relaxing activity (we did lots of walking tours). I did this class with my 14 year old daughter, we will remember the activity & hospitality of the hosts for many years

Alice and Francesco were fabulous guides through the market, then with teaching us to cook three different Sicilian dishes. We loved spending time with them and we learned so much! I highly recommend Alice and Cesarine!
