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

- Gemeinsam mit Alice zu kochen war ein tolles Erlebnis. Ich habe viel über die italienische Küche gelernt und wurde sehr herzlich aufgenommen. Der Kochkurs bei Alice war ein absolutes Highlight auf meiner Reise durch Sizilien.
- Alice and Francesco were wonderful hosts! Their hospitality was very gracious and they had a lovely home. We had so much fun preparing our food and it was delicious. We highly recommend them as hosts.
- My wife and i had a blast !!! It is a very authentic tour with the best ever street food . Alice is a marvelous guide and she came very well prepared . She even brought with her a touristic guide (Maria Chiara) that explained us the origin of many monuments in Palermo ! It's a must
- If you are wanting an authentic Sicilian meal, and want to learn how to cook it with a knowledgeable, personable, authentic Sicilian cook- then you should do this!! Highly recommend - food was outstanding, learned a LOT about Sicilian food and how to prepare it, and left stuffed!
- What a wonderful experience. Alice is a fabulous hostess and chef. Our dinner and conversation with Alice and Francesco was amazing. We loved helping prepare the pasta, which we hope to try when we get home. You made us feel like family. We will treasure the memory.

Cesarina from 2022Location: Palermo Languages: English, Italian, Spanish, French"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."
