Alice

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.

My mom and I had an amazing time! Booking and communication was clear and efficient. The class was intimate and Alice and Francesco were lovely hosts and teachers. We had a great time learning more about Italy and Italian food and it just felt like we were hanging out with friends. My mom said it her favorite part of our Italy trip. Would highly recommend!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time. Taught us step by step how to prepare each part of the meal. Then, sat down and ate the meal together. Great conversation, very welcoming and will do it again with Alice.

We got to spend a lovely afternoon together making arancina. We felt very welcome and appreciated all the history they shared with us. Hope to go back someday and make pasta together.

Beautiful experience. I chose the arancini lesson for myself and my mother, and Alice and Francesco were very clear and kind. I will definitely return for other courses. Highly recommended.

We had the most amazing evening at this pasta course! From the very first moment, Alice and her husband welcomed us so warmly that we instantly felt at home. Everything was perfectly prepared, and you could tell how much love and passion they put into every detail. We learned so much throughout the course. Alice and Francesco shared countless wonderful tips and tricks that we will definitely use in our own kitchen. They explained everything with so much patience and joy, making the whole experience both fun and inspiring. In between cooking, we also had really engaging and interesting conversations, which made the evening even more special. When we enjoyed the aperitivo they had prepared for us, they cooked the pasta we had made ourselves and we all enjoyed it together. It was such a beautiful and memorable experience. It truly was a perfect evening, and we are so grateful. Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience!
