Private Experience
Your experience
- Seasonal appetizer
- Homemade fresh pasta with seasonal sauce/pesto
- 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 House, the Teatro Massimo.
I will welcome you with a sicilian happy-hour, then 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.

- What a truly special morning cooking with Alice. I enjoyed our chats around family, history, and culture while preparing some wonderful recipes. Our meal was a highlight of my time in Palermo.
- We had so much fun and learned a lot. We shopped at the local market then learned how to make pasta, a fish dish an ricotta cake. One of the husbands had said he would not participate. He not only participated but said the class was one of the highlights of the trip! Thank you Alice
- Alice and Franchesco were fabulous host. The market visit was very informative. They invited us into their beautiful home and gave us a wonderful history and delicious taste of Sicilian cuisine.
- It was so amazing getting to spend a morning with Alice and Francesco, making pasta! They’re both so knowledgeable and helpful, it was such a highlight of my time in Italy to learn from them, and to just talk and get to know one another. Highly highly recommend taking a class with them if you get the chance, you won’t regret it. And the pasta was delicious!!
- It was sooo amazing . Alice it is very nice and helpful. The pasta was exzellent.

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."
