Your experience
- Seasonal Sicilian starter
- Homemade fresh pasta with seasonal sauce/pesto
- Seasonal Sicilian dessert
In this experience, you will enjoy a nice and vibrant Capo Market tour, one of the most popular outdoor markets in Palermo, where you will learn how to select on the stalls the best seasonal ingredients for our cooking class and as a Gastronome I will explain about the seasonality of the products, those typical of the territory and their varieties. Next, we will move back home for a hands-on cooking class on how to prepare a Sicilian starter, a First course of a fresh Sicilian pasta, and a Sicilian dessert. At the end of the class, we will enjoy these dishes for lunch, and in spring/summer season in my cozy terrace.

- If you are wanting an authentic Sicilian meal, and want to learn how to cook it with a knowledgeable, personable, authentic Sicilian cook- then you should do this!! Highly recommend - food was outstanding, learned a LOT about Sicilian food and how to prepare it, and left stuffed!
- What a wonderful experience. Alice is a fabulous hostess and chef. Our dinner and conversation with Alice and Francesco was amazing. We loved helping prepare the pasta, which we hope to try when we get home. You made us feel like family. We will treasure the memory.

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."
