Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
During this experience you will learn how to make cannoli from scratch: the most classic of Sicilian desserts characterized by a crispy shell lightly flavored with cinnamon filled with enveloping ricotta cream sweetened with sugar and chocolate chips. All with local raw materials!
We will start with the dough, and while it rests we will prepare the ricotta cream, then proceed to rolling and forming the cannoli wrapped on traditional river reeds and frying them. As soon as they are cold we will fill them with the ricotta cream and decorate with homemade candied orange peels and pistachio granola. At this point we will end the experience by tasting the freshly prepared cannoli paired with homemade liqueurs such as limoncello or marsala wine.

- What a truly special morning cooking with Alice. I enjoyed our chats around family, history, and culture while preparing some wonderful recipes. Our meal was a highlight of my time in Palermo.
- We had so much fun and learned a lot. We shopped at the local market then learned how to make pasta, a fish dish an ricotta cake. One of the husbands had said he would not participate. He not only participated but said the class was one of the highlights of the trip! Thank you Alice
- Alice and Franchesco were fabulous host. The market visit was very informative. They invited us into their beautiful home and gave us a wonderful history and delicious taste of Sicilian cuisine.
- It was so amazing getting to spend a morning with Alice and Francesco, making pasta! They’re both so knowledgeable and helpful, it was such a highlight of my time in Italy to learn from them, and to just talk and get to know one another. Highly highly recommend taking a class with them if you get the chance, you won’t regret it. And the pasta was delicious!!
- It was sooo amazing . Alice it is very nice and helpful. The pasta was exzellent.

Where
Alice
Cesarina from 2022Location: Palermo Languages: English, Italian, Spanish, French"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."
