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.

- We were in Italy for 2 weeks. Our experience with Alice was memorable and wonderful. She taught us how to make cavatellis, orichetti, and a long pasta prepared by rolling the dough around a narrow stick. We prepared dessert and then had a delicious lunch made from our culinary efforts. When we came home we made pasta and relived our Palermo experience. Alice was a wonderful host and a terrific teacher. If you visit Palermo, there are fantastic churches and historic sights to visit. But if you don’t include a stop with Alice, you’ll be missing an experience of a lifetime.
- Alice was an incredible Host. Her instruction was clear and fun. The food was great and she made us feel so welcome. Great experience, we will be back
- This was the highlight of our trip to Palermo! Alice made an incredible meal and was an excellent teacher with our 3 year old
- Such an enjoyable experience! My mother & I chose this class as we really wanted to learn authentic pasta making and tiramisu. Alice and Francesco were a joy to be taught & hosted by. So knowledgeable and skilled. They made the session so enjoyable and easy to follow. Lunch was then had to enjoy our labor of love, with lots of laughter and great chats. We highly recommend and will be back again. Thank you
- We took a cooking class with Alice and Francesco during our stay in Palermo, and it was the absolute highlight of our trip. They were incredibly warm and welcoming hosts, as well as patient, knowledgeable teachers who made the experience both fun and memorable. The food we prepared together ended up being one of our favorite meals of the entire trip, and we’re excited to recreate the dishes when we get home. If you’re looking to learn authentic Sicilian cooking while spending time with genuinely wonderful people, I can’t recommend their class highly enough. It was a 10/10 experience and a memory we’ll always cherish!

Cesarina from 2022Location: Palermo (PA) Languages: English, Italian, Spanish, FrenchI 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.
