Shared Experience
Your experience

    Discover all the secrets of sfincione, the authentic Sicilian-style “pizza,” in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. You’ll prepare a soft dough made with re-milled semolina, topped with a rich onion and tomato sauce, anchovies, caciocavallo cheese, breadcrumbs, and oregano. I’ll guide you step by step—from perfect proofing to baking it in your home oven. Along the way, I’ll share fun facts and stories about this iconic dish from Palermo. And of course… we’ll taste it at the end!

    Amazing experience. Alice is so knowledgeable and patient. Everything was perfect. The food was like being back in my grandma’s kitchen. Highly recommend.

    We had a wonderful experience cooking with Alice and Francesco! It was such a fun and authentic experience. The home was clean and lovely right in the heart of Palermo. The class was structured well where we were able to have hands on experiences making all 3 courses, and all the food was absolutely delicious. Excellent class and a true highlight of our trip!

    We really enjoyed cooking with Alice and Francesco. They shared so much insides on the veggies and the market and cooking in general. Highly recommended experience! Felt like cooking with friends (:

    My boyfriend and I had a fantastic experience in Alice’s cooking class. She and Francesco warmly welcomed us into their home, where we learned to make several types of pasta and tiramisu, along with the rich history behind each dish. Sharing a meal with them afterward made the experience even more special— we connected over Sicilian traditions and discovered shared cultural roots. Highly recommend this class for anyone looking for an authentic culinary experience!

    Alice and Francesco were absolutely amazing! I wish we had more time to take another class with the pair of them. They made everything quite easy to do. Even my FIL who does not cook was very involved and had fun. Alice and Francesco made us all feel at home and most welcome in their beautiful home in the heart of the city. I highly recommend Alice for your next cooking class in Palermo!

    "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."
