Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Sicilian Chickpea-flour fritters
  • Homemade fresh pasta with seasonal sauce/pesto
  • Sicilian citrus fruits jelly

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.

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.

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.

"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."
