Alice is an amazing teacher. She is warm and welcoming and is truly a gifted chef. She gives you ample opportunity to craft the recipes yourself, so you leave with a very strong understanding of how to make traditional Sicilian pastas. She and Francesco are also deeply knowledgeable about the slow foods movement and gastronomy, and have invaluable insights into traditional cuisine in Sicily and Italy. This experience was a definite highlight of my trip, and the meal we enjoyed together in her lovely home was the best I had during my stay in Palermo. Absolutely recommend!

We had a wonderful experience cooking with Alice and Francesco! It was such a fun and authentic experience. The home was clean and lovely right in the heart of Palermo. The class was structured well where we were able to have hands on experiences making all 3 courses, and all the food was absolutely delicious. Excellent class and a true highlight of our trip!

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."
