Your experience

    During this experience, I will guide you on a pleasant and lively tour of the Mercato del Capo, one of Palermo's most famous open-air markets. Here you will learn how to recognize the best seasonal ingredients and discover typical local products. Afterwards, we will move to my home, located right in the center of town, a stone's throw from the Teatro Massimo, to enjoy a delicious homemade Sicilian aperitivo, accompanied by a good glass of wine.

    We had the best time learning about Sicilian cuisine from Alice and her husband. Our family of 7 cooked and ate and enjoyed our time immensely. Such a welcoming host and authentic experience. Highly recommend and we hope to be back to Palermo again!!!

    We had a terrific time with Alice and Francesco. We prepared a vegetarian menu of panelle, pasta and dessert. All were delicious. Alice was very patient helping us figure out what to do and Francesco was a great host. The day concluded with a meal and great conversation. I really enjoyed the experience and the meal.

    Alice is an amazing teacher. She is warm and welcoming and is truly a gifted chef. She gives you ample opportunity to craft the recipes yourself, so you leave with a very strong understanding of how to make traditional Sicilian pastas. She and Francesco are also deeply knowledgeable about the slow foods movement and gastronomy, and have invaluable insights into traditional cuisine in Sicily and Italy. This experience was a definite highlight of my trip, and the meal we enjoyed together in her lovely home was the best I had during my stay in Palermo. Absolutely recommend!

    "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."
