Shared Experience
Your experience

    In a familiar and enjoyable environment you will learn how to prepare 3 typical vegetarian or naturally vegan Sicilian recipes. Panelle is a typical appetizer from Palermo, it is a simple but very tasty dish, we will make it following the old family recipe. I will also reveal my family tricks to make the best fresh homemade pasta, starting from the dough made of water and flour. Handmade cavatelli pasta will be paired with an excellent seasonal sauce you will be told how to prepare. We will also prepare a dessert together: citrus-fruit jelly is a delicate creamy dessert that will amaze you, a homemade treat that you are unlikely to find in pastry shops.This is the perfect experience to join for vegetarian foodies in Palermo.

    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

    We can definitely recommend this cooking class to everyone! We had a really great evening with Alice and Francesco. Alice showed us many different types/shapes of pasta and shared really helpful tips and background information for the making of pasta. We also prepared a delicious tiramisu. As a vegetarian it was no problem at all and Alice checked our likes/dislikes with us in advance. After we made the pasta Alice and Francesco cooked for us as we had really nice starters and wine. The food was delicious. We had a lot of fun, shared great laughter and had a really nice and delicious dinner and local recommendations for our trip in Sicily. If we ever visit Palermo again we will come back for another cooking experience with Alice.

    We had such a fantastic time at this cooking class with Alice and Francesco! From the moment we arrived, they made us feel so welcome in their beautiful home. The whole experience was warm, relaxed, and so much fun – full of laughter, great conversation, and of course incredible food. Alice is a wonderful teacher, making everything easy to follow while still feeling authentic and special. We absolutely loved learning how to make fresh pasta and the delicious almond parfait – such a treat! It was definitely a highlight of our trip to Sicily. It truly felt like spending an evening with friends rather than just a class. We left with amazing memories (and delicious recipes to try at home!). I would highly, highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting – it’s an absolute must!

    This booking was truly one of the most memorable events of our trip. First, we learned so much from Alice as we shopped the vegetable and fish market. But the best part was the way both she and Francesco welcomed us into their home. We prepared the meal, ate, talked family traditions and laughed for more than the scheduled four hours. By the time we were leaving we felt like family. I highly recommend booking with Cesarina Alice!!

    We had an awesome morning with Alice and Francesco making traditional Arancina. They were very helpful and were great company, we learnt a lot about Sicily and the different variations of Arancina. Definitely recommend!

    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.
