Private Experience
Your experience
Arancina is the Queen of Palermo Street Food. It is a ball of rice, filled with a tasty filling of meat or cheese, breaded and fried in abundant oil.
During this experience you will learn all the secrets to preparing fantastic arancine, following the recipe my grandma handed me down. I will show you the most suitable rice and its particular cooking method to remain 'al dente' but at the same time very compact, the preparation of the filling with ragout and pieces of cheese or with bechamel, ham and cheese (my favourite), up to the breading. I also offer vegetarian variations. At the end of the preparation we will sit at the table to taste the fruit of our work together with some good local wine or beer.

- This was the highlight of our trip to Palermo! Alice made an incredible meal and was an excellent teacher with our 3 year old
- 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!
- We loved our class on the Italian Aperitivo and Spritz. Alice shared unique and personal recipes with great ingredients. It was fun, informative and everything was delicious. Wonderful hosts - would recommend to everyone

Cesarina from 2022Location: Palermo (PA) Languages: English, Italian, Spanish, FrenchI 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.
