Your experience

    In Sicily, there are local versions of pizza and focaccia that differ from traditional pizza in both dough and toppings used. You'll discover all the secrets to prepare an authentic Palermo-style sfincione, a delicious Messina focaccia, and a Catanese scacciata. In addition to preparing these recipes, you will learn hidden secrets and anecdotes about their history. At the end of the preparation, you can taste the pizzas while enjoying them with a great wine or ice-cold beer, as tradition dictates.

    Menu: Sfincione (Sicilian-style pizza with onion and tomato sauce), Focaccia Messinese (Sicilian-style focaccia with escarole), Scacciata catanese (Sicilian-style filled pizza with vegetables and cheese).

    Amazing experience!! Alice is a wonderful cook and she was so patient and did a fantastic job of explaining each step as we prepared the pasta and tiramisu. We laughed, we ate, we drank and had the best meal we’ve had in Sicily!! We will absolutely be back to take another class and highly recommend you attend!

    Alice and Francesco are amazing instructors and chefs. We had a wonderful time learning to make pasta and tiramisu, and enjoying the results of our efforts at the table with them. We appreciate them welcoming us into their home and for being so friendly and knowledgable. Their class was one of the highlights of our trip, and we won’t forget it.

    We have just finished our 20 day European holiday & learning to make pasta was the highlight of our trip, highly recommend Alice & this activity, it was a good alternative relaxing activity (we did lots of walking tours). I did this class with my 14 year old daughter, we will remember the activity & hospitality of the hosts for many years

    Our hosts were extremely friendly and patient instructors. It was fun and a great learning experience. Our hosts provided delicious refreshments and snacks in their charming living room while they cooked our freshly made pasta dishes. The meal was outstanding so we all did well with our pasta making. I would highly recommend Creatine cooking class.

    From the moment we arrived, hospitality by both of them were warm and welcoming. Table was ready with our dough and pasta making was delightful and super fun. Making Tiramisu was fantastic. We returned to the living room for delicious appetizers and proseca and they cooked the pasta in amazing sauce and served us in the dining room with lots of laughter and joy. One of our highlights of Palermo

    "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."
