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.

- Voyage de saveurs et de cuisine traditionnelle chez un couple chaleureux et accueillant. C’était un régal, nous avons appris à faire des pâtes et d’autres petits secrets culinaire propre à Alice et Francesco. Un très beau moment et une joyeuse rencontre.
- Enjoyed this course a lot! Made beautiful fresh pasta and learned how to prepare artichoke in the proper way :-) Alice and Francesco are very kind people with a lot of knowledge and patience. Can’t wait to try the recipes at home! If you’re in Palermo and want to have e great experience then my advise is to book this course.
- Ottima esperienza, nuova anche da italiano, nel fare la pasta in compagnia, con spiegazione approfondita sulla sul storia e tecnica della pasta legata alla Sicilia e non solo. Oltre alla pasta in se, sebbene la scelta del sugo sia a discrezione di Alice e Francesco, si sono premurati di chiedere in anticipo riguardo ad allergie/intolleranze ed effettivamente la loro scelta è fortemente legata alla stagionalità degli ingredienti e alla tradizione popolare. Nel mio caso, si è fatto un sugo con il tipico broccolo viola dell'Etna arriminato alla palermitana. Alice e Francesco sono molto preparati, oltre ad essere davvero onesti e genuini nel modo di fare. È stato un piacere passare il pomeriggio con loro e con gli altri ospiti in un bell'ambiente internazionale.
- My friend and I had an amazing cooking experience with Alice and Francesco! They were so nice and knowledgeable and shared their knowledge and experience with us and answered any questions we had. We are very excited to cook with our families and definitely recommend them.
- Amazing experience!! Alice is a wonderful cook and she was so patient and did a fantastic job of explaining each step as we prepared the pasta and tiramisu. We laughed, we ate, we drank and had the best meal we’ve had in Sicily!! We will absolutely be back to take another class and highly recommend you attend!

Alice
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."
