Hi from Alice!

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.

We took a cannoli course with Alice. We were warmly welcomed by her and Francesco. Both are very friendly and personable. Every step of making the cannoli shell and filling was explained to us in detail, and we also received background information. Then we made everything ourselves by hand. When we tasted our results, we felt like we were sitting with friends. The cannoli were delicious. It was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend the course.

It was such a pleasure to spend time with Alice and her husband Francesco in their beautiful home learning to make pasta, an appetizer, and dessert. They were so gracious and personable, we had a wonderful time and the food was delicious! We highly recommend this cooking class.
