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
- 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!
- Super friendly and lots of fun! The food was absolutely incredible, and it’s perfect for both Italian and English speakers.
- The class was excellent and our hosts were warm, welcoming and very appreciative to have the opportunity to share their receipts and home. I definitely recommend them for a cooking class. Thank you Alice and Francesco for a wonderful dinner. John
