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.

- Alice is so lovely and knowledgeable. The pasta and tiramisu she taught us to make was the best food we had on the trip. Equally stunning is her lovely home. This is truly an amazing experience!
- We had a fabulous experience with Alice and Francesco! They were lovely people and taught us so many great lessons (especially the pasta making process). The food was amazing and we definitely recommend this experience!
- My goodness what a wonderful time! We highly recommend Alice for the pasta and tiramisu class. She was knowledgeable and personable and made the whole experience a joy. Furthermore the food was sssooooo delicious. We had never taken a cooking class before but because of our experience with Alice we will do them again. Grazie mille Alice!
- Very interesting market tour with lots of information about local food and traditions. Delicious for course menu and last but not least: Very nice hosts!
- Best cooking class ever. Look no further. Alice welcomes you into her home and teaches all the basics of making pasta and sauce. Very informative hands on experience. Extra good. Strongly recommended.

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."
