Your experience

    In a cozy and familiar environment you will learn all the secrets for making a delicious sfincione. Sfincione is a Sicilian version of pizza. A soft, sponge-like dough made with remilled durum wheat semolina, covered with a rich, slow-cooked onion and tomato sauce and enriched with anchovies and caciocavallo cheese and a sprinkle of breadcrumbs and oregano. During the cooking lesson I will reveal all my secrets for making a fluffy dough, flavorful topping and how to perfectly bake it in your home oven! In addition to recipe preparation you will get to learn the secrets and anecdotes about the history of this iconic dish of Palermo cuisine. At the end of the preparation you will be able to taste the dish prepared.

    A vegetarian version of the sfincione is availabe!

    Alice is so lovely and knowledgeable. The pasta and tiramisu she taught us to make was the best food we had on the trip. Equally stunning is her lovely home. This is truly an amazing experience!

    We had a fabulous experience with Alice and Francesco! They were lovely people and taught us so many great lessons (especially the pasta making process). The food was amazing and we definitely recommend this experience!

    My goodness what a wonderful time! We highly recommend Alice for the pasta and tiramisu class. She was knowledgeable and personable and made the whole experience a joy. Furthermore the food was sssooooo delicious. We had never taken a cooking class before but because of our experience with Alice we will do them again. Grazie mille 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."
