Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Tomato Sauce
  • Spaghetti with tomato sauce

An old tradition that is repeated every year in many families in Sicily. There is no better satisfaction than tasting all year round the intense taste of fresh summertime tomatoes. It is essential, however, to follow a few rules well.

In this experience you will learn how to make tomato sauce following an old recipe from Nonna, how to choose the ideal tomatoes for prepping sauce, cooking in the pot and importantly storage to enjoy it whenever you want.
We will end the experience as tradition dictates with a spaghetti with the freshly made sauce and lots of basil. A surprise awaits you at the end of the experience!

We were in Italy for 2 weeks. Our experience with Alice was memorable and wonderful. She taught us how to make cavatellis, orichetti, and a long pasta prepared by rolling the dough around a narrow stick. We prepared dessert and then had a delicious lunch made from our culinary efforts. When we came home we made pasta and relived our Palermo experience. Alice was a wonderful host and a terrific teacher. If you visit Palermo, there are fantastic churches and historic sights to visit. But if you don’t include a stop with Alice, you’ll be missing an experience of a lifetime.

Such an enjoyable experience! My mother & I chose this class as we really wanted to learn authentic pasta making and tiramisu. Alice and Francesco were a joy to be taught & hosted by. So knowledgeable and skilled. They made the session so enjoyable and easy to follow. Lunch was then had to enjoy our labor of love, with lots of laughter and great chats. We highly recommend and will be back again. Thank you

We took a cooking class with Alice and Francesco during our stay in Palermo, and it was the absolute highlight of our trip. They were incredibly warm and welcoming hosts, as well as patient, knowledgeable teachers who made the experience both fun and memorable. The food we prepared together ended up being one of our favorite meals of the entire trip, and we’re excited to recreate the dishes when we get home. If you’re looking to learn authentic Sicilian cooking while spending time with genuinely wonderful people, I can’t recommend their class highly enough. It was a 10/10 experience and a memory we’ll always cherish!

Cesarina from 2022Location: Palermo (PA)    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.
