Your experience
- Seasonal appetizer
- Handmade pasta with seasonal sauce
- Seasonal dessert
By joining this food experience you will have the opportunity to really enjoy the Sicilian cuisine at a deeper and more personal level while sitting at my table dining with my family in my home in the heart of Palermo's historic center just a stone's throw away from the Opera Housa, the Teatro Massimo.
We will end a dish altogether and I will show you for example how to shape a typical fresh pasta or how to prepare a typical appetizer such as cacio all'argentiera, a Palermo city traditional way of cooking cheese. I will also entertain you by telling you stories and anecdotes of dishes I will propose. We will taste together a three-course menu, all homemade, which will be served with excellent local wine and warm Sicilian hospitality.

- 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!
- The cooking class was so fun and I learned a lot about the best way to make pasta and tiramisu at home. Alice and Francesco were so welcoming and friendly, and great teachers!

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."
