Francesca Maria
Spoken languages: Italian and English
Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
What can top the taste of freshly baked bread? Nothing! Would you like to learn the art of its preparation? Then do not hesitate to book this extraordinary experience!
I will lead you to discover the typical bread of the Sicilian tradition, both in its classic version and enriched with delicious olives. During the course, we will immerse ourselves in the preparation of fresh vegetables, flavored with selected herbs, to be enjoyed in the company of fragrant freshly baked bread. You will also have the opportunity to enjoy the bread while still warm accompanied by my own extra virgin olive oil, local cheeses and, if you like, delicious anchovies in oil.

- This was a fantastic experience. Francesca hosted us in a very well appointed private kitchen and showed great skill in handling our group ranging from very experienced cooks to pure novice (me!). She was kind, thoughtful and responsive to all of our questions while walking us through making an incredible meal. I can’t recommend this enough.
- Fun! Francesca is a lot of fun and a great teacher! Can’t wait to try our new recipes on family and friends when we get back to California! Gracie, Francesca!
- Wonderful food, welcoming atmosphere, beautiful setting! Come see Francesca and mangia bene! Bellissima!
- We had a wonderful experience with Francesca in Bagheria! We made caponata, gnocchi and almond biscuits. The food was absolutely to die for, although the caponata was a personal favorite. Francesca was a very good teacher. You can tell she has excellent food knowledge. She is very welcoming and has a great sense of humor. We came with our three year old son and she was very sweet and patient with him as well. Her kitchen is the perfect set up and a great place to host classes. We even got to use basil and lemons from her own garden. Thanks Francesca!
- We decided before our trip to Palermo that we wanted to experience a Sicilian cookery class. I looked online at a few but Francesca's really stood out as traditional, homely, fun and welcoming. She didn't disappoint. We made fresh pasta together, she showed us around her garden and we ate. The pasta was delicious. She showed us how to cook with simple ingredients and make a couple of traditional Sicilian pasta dishes, we will definitely be making at home! Without doubt, this was the highlight of our holiday, and when we return to Palermo again, we will return to make different dishes. Grazie mille!!
