Aperitivo with a tasting of local specialties and a live cooking demonstration of a menu recipe
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 and Francesco are amazing instructors and chefs. We had a wonderful time learning to make pasta and tiramisu, and enjoying the results of our efforts at the table with them. We appreciate them welcoming us into their home and for being so friendly and knowledgable. Their class was one of the highlights of our trip, and we won’t forget it.
- We have just finished our 20 day European holiday & learning to make pasta was the highlight of our trip, highly recommend Alice & this activity, it was a good alternative relaxing activity (we did lots of walking tours). I did this class with my 14 year old daughter, we will remember the activity & hospitality of the hosts for many years
- Our hosts were extremely friendly and patient instructors. It was fun and a great learning experience. Our hosts provided delicious refreshments and snacks in their charming living room while they cooked our freshly made pasta dishes. The meal was outstanding so we all did well with our pasta making. I would highly recommend Creatine cooking class.
- From the moment we arrived, hospitality by both of them were warm and welcoming. Table was ready with our dough and pasta making was delightful and super fun. Making Tiramisu was fantastic. We returned to the living room for delicious appetizers and proseca and they cooked the pasta in amazing sauce and served us in the dining room with lots of laughter and joy. One of our highlights of Palermo
- Alice was amazing - very professional and knowledgeable, patient and explaining everything. The end result, the Cannoli, was simply perfect. Tasty, crispy and crunchy and beautiful in look.

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."
