Shared Experience
Your experience
Arancine, a symbol of Palermo's culinary tradition, are irresistible rice balls with delicious fillings. Together we will prepare two classic versions: arancina al burro, with ham and melted cheese, and arancina alla carne, with meat sauce and scamorza cheese. I will reveal all my secrets for achieving a crispy and perfect fry. Next, we will make a tiramisu "my way," a variation suitable for both adults and children. Everything will be accompanied by a glass of Brut sparkling wine to toast together. I look forward to welcoming you to my home for an authentic and convivial experience!

- I had a delicious dinner with Alessandra, she cooks sicilian traditional dishes the way a nonna would, with love and passion. Highly recommended for a true local experience in the heart of Palermo.
- The experience with Alessandra was memorable. From the start, she welcomed us into her home, which immediately felt like our own, and this contributed to the organization of the perfect surprise for my husband. Alessandra, as well as being a perfect 'host', demonstrated a deep connection to her Sicilian roots, which led her to embark on this journey. Listening to anecdotes and advice on preparing the menu and discovering how attentive she is to detail was a truly wonderful gift for both of us. Happy to have met her, we can't wait to return and experience it again.
- Alessandra is a wonderful hostess, attentive and welcoming; an experience to be repeated and one I recommend to anyone with a passion for cooking and a curiosity for discovering traditional dishes.
- Truly an experience to recommend, full of emotions and excellent flavors of tradition. Compliments to Alessandra, an excellent hostess and thorough in sharing and explaining the recipes.
- Alessandra was awesome, it was like having a cooking + dinner event with a friend. She gave us some really helpful tips and the food was soooo tasty. I would recommend for sure.
