Shared Experience
Your experience
In Sicily there are also local versions of pizza and focaccia that differ from the regular neapolitan-style pizza in both the dough and the toppings, from one province to another.
In this cooking class you will learn all the secrets to prep a delicious focaccia Messinese. This is a typical baked product from the province of Messina, the city in the Strait, characterized by a thin, crispy dough and topped with Italian curly escarole, tuma sheep cheese, cherry tomatoes and salted anchovies. I will share with you the recipe I learned from my partner's family coming from Messina, a real treat! At the end of the preparation you will taste the focaccia together with a glass of wine or with ice cold beer as tradition dictates.
Vegetarian option is available.

- Alice and Francesco were both fantastic teachers and chefs, sharing their knowledge of food science, Sicilian cuisine, and local history with us. The dishes we made were amazing - very authentic and filling, but also healthy with lots of fresh local veggies. We learned SO much about both the art and science of pasta-making and can’t wait to use what they taught us back in California. I can’t recommend their class enough, they made everything so easy and fun! Thank you!
- Alice is very nice and friendly. Her instruction is very clear. My wife and me do not have any experience in making pasta but it is so fun. Her husband is also very nice. We have a memorable time with them.
- Alice was an incredible host and excellent teacher. My mom and I had a wonderful time learning to make pasta and tiramisu with her.
- Excellent course, with very welcoming hosts. Everything well explained and hands on, so you really learn. Absolutely recommend.
- Absolute great time! Fantastic hosts and excellent food in a quaint setting. No better way to spend an evening with family and friends!!

Where
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."
