Alice

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.

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.

A very rewarding experience that begins with discovering local products, accompanied by Alice and Francesco, in an authentic local market, before moving on to practical work at home, guided by attentive hosts. We feasted on delicious dishes, laughed a lot, and parted as old friends, happy to have spent a wonderful time together. Do not hesitate to step through their door; you will leave fully satisfied, and as a bonus, with plenty of great recommendations to continue your Sicilian adventure.

My mom and I had Ana amazing experience at our cooking class with Alice! We learned so much and they were fantastic hosts. We truly enjoyed learning about Italian cuisine and it was one of our favorite meals in Sicily! I highly recommend taking a class, especially with Alice, during your time in Palermo.
