Your experience
  • Sicilian Seasonal Starter

In this experience, you will enjoy a nice and vibrant Capo Market tour, one of the most popular outdoor markets in Palermo, where you will learn how to select on the stalls the best seasonal ingredients for our cooking class and as a Gastronome I will explain about the seasonality of the products, those typical of the territory and their varieties. Next, we will move back home for a hands-on cooking class on how to prepare a Sicilian starter, a First course of a fresh Sicilian pasta, and a Sicilian dessert. At the end of the class, we will enjoy these dishes for lunch, and in spring/summer season in my cozy terrace.

A very rewarding experience that begins with discovering local products, accompanied by Alice and Francesco, in an authentic local market, before moving on to practical work at home, guided by attentive hosts. We feasted on delicious dishes, laughed a lot, and parted as old friends, happy to have spent a wonderful time together. Do not hesitate to step through their door; you will leave fully satisfied, and as a bonus, with plenty of great recommendations to continue your Sicilian adventure.

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!

Alice

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.
