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.

Amazing experience. Alice is so knowledgeable and patient. Everything was perfect. The food was like being back in my grandma’s kitchen. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful experience cooking with Alice and Francesco! It was such a fun and authentic experience. The home was clean and lovely right in the heart of Palermo. The class was structured well where we were able to have hands on experiences making all 3 courses, and all the food was absolutely delicious. Excellent class and a true highlight of our trip!

We really enjoyed cooking with Alice and Francesco. They shared so much insides on the veggies and the market and cooking in general. Highly recommended experience! Felt like cooking with friends (:

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic experience in Alice’s cooking class. She and Francesco warmly welcomed us into their home, where we learned to make several types of pasta and tiramisu, along with the rich history behind each dish. Sharing a meal with them afterward made the experience even more special— we connected over Sicilian traditions and discovered shared cultural roots. Highly recommend this class for anyone looking for an authentic culinary experience!

The cooking class was so fun and I learned a lot about the best way to make pasta and tiramisu at home. Alice and Francesco were so welcoming and friendly, and great teachers!

"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."
