Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
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

- The pasta making experience with Alice was great! She added context to all that we were doing by explaining some culinary history and rationale for why things were done the way they were - plus the food was delicious! I would absolutely recommend to others.
- This cooking class was a highlight of our trip! Great recipes and felt like we were cooking and eating with our new Italian friends - highly recommend!
- I had a lovely time with Alice and Francesco. I was the only one in the class. They were knowledgeable and lovely to chat with. Highly recommended.
- Alice & Francesco were amazing hosts! Our group absolutely loved visiting their beautiful home, cooking traditional Sicilian pasta & tiramisu, & trying different local foods. What made our evening with A&F so special, was their incredible generosity! We were also blown away by their friendliness & the amount of information they were able to share with us, not only about the local produce & traditional recipes but also about Palermo’s politics & history. We could not recommend A&F enough- they were fantastic teachers & wonderful hosts! Thank you!!
- Alice and Francesco were amazing hosts. This was our first time in Italy and they were by far the most memorable part of our trip, also the best food we ate on the trip. We would highly recommend booking a class with her while you are staying in Palermo.
