My boyfriend and I had a fantastic experience in Alice’s cooking class. She and Francesco warmly welcomed us into their home, where we learned to make several types of pasta and tiramisu, along with the rich history behind each dish. Sharing a meal with them afterward made the experience even more special— we connected over Sicilian traditions and discovered shared cultural roots. Highly recommend this class for anyone looking for an authentic culinary experience!

The cooking class was so fun and I learned a lot about the best way to make pasta and tiramisu at home. Alice and Francesco were so welcoming and friendly, and great teachers!

Alice's place was lovely to cook in. The dishes we prepared were easy & fun to make. We made plenty for our meal together, which was filled with laughter & wonderful conversation. It was also an informative and tailored to my taste class. Would recommend this class to all people, not just vegetarians!!!

Alice did an amazing cooking class. Learnd not only how to make Arancina but also about the differances from region to region. The result tasted so good 😊. Looking forward to prepare them at home.

Alice and Francesco were both fantastic teachers and chefs, sharing their knowledge of food science, Sicilian cuisine, and local history with us. The dishes we made were amazing - very authentic and filling, but also healthy with lots of fresh local veggies. We learned SO much about both the art and science of pasta-making and can’t wait to use what they taught us back in California. I can’t recommend their class enough, they made everything so easy and fun! Thank you!

"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."
