Alice
Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
- Arancina
Arancina is the Queen of Palermo Street Food. It is a ball of rice, filled with a tasty filling of meat or cheese, breaded and fried in abundant oil.
During this experience you will learn all the secrets to preparing fantastic arancine, following the recipe my grandma handed me down. I will show you the most suitable rice and its particular cooking method to remain 'al dente' but at the same time very compact, the preparation of the filling with ragout and pieces of cheese or with bechamel, ham and cheese (my favourite), up to the breading. I also offer vegetarian variations. At the end of the preparation we will sit at the table to taste the fruit of our work together with some good local wine or beer.

Reviews
- My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time. Taught us step by step how to prepare each part of the meal. Then, sat down and ate the meal together. Great conversation, very welcoming and will do it again with Alice.
- We got to spend a lovely afternoon together making arancina. We felt very welcome and appreciated all the history they shared with us. Hope to go back someday and make pasta together.
- Beautiful experience. I chose the arancini lesson for myself and my mother, and Alice and Francesco were very clear and kind. I will definitely return for other courses. Highly recommended.
- We could not have asked for better hosts! Alice and Francesco are extremely knowledgeable and excellent at teaching both cooking techniques and the cultural aspects of Sicilian cuisine. We enjoyed their company along with the delicious meal!
- Alice is skilled, clear, and patient! We really had fun and the final product exceeded expectations even though it was the first time we made arancini. Francesco's help was then invaluable. They were truly hospitable!
