    We loved our cooking experience with Alice. As vegans, it can be hard to find options and she worked with us to tailor the cuisine and we left with the knowledge to recreate those dishes at home. The class was informative, well paced, and it was incredibly special to have her open up her home to us. Enjoying dinner together afterwards felt like a dinner party with friends. 10/10 would recommend!

    Wow! We were not sure what to expect, but it was not this. Alice was completely prepared for our arrival. All equipment and ingredients were ready to be assembled. She welcomed us into her lovely home with grace and courtesy. She showed us how to start the pasta with clear, thorough instruction on everything. She helped us make tiramisu while the pasta dough rested. Then, she showed us multiple types of pasta we could make and multiple ways to make each one. She explained, demonstrated, then let us begin. She was positive and encouraging throughout the experience. When all of the pasta was ready, including the raviolli that was the subject of much laughter, she cooked the pasta in the kitchen while we had aperatifs and cocktails she had prepared previously. We sat down to a meal together and had delightful conversation with laughter, wine, and the pasta that we were amazed had been prepared by our own hands. We never knew how much fun it was. Alice made it fun. We now plan to make pasta monthly just re-lvie the experience and remember the great time we had under Alice's guidance. Thank you so much, Alice! To anyone reading this - it was the best experience of our two week vacation in Naples, Palermo, and surrounding areas. We saw wonderful sights, but we could not stop talking about how much fun we had after spending the evening with 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."
