Hi from 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."

What a truly special morning cooking with Alice. I enjoyed our chats around family, history, and culture while preparing some wonderful recipes. Our meal was a highlight of my time in Palermo.

We had so much fun and learned a lot. We shopped at the local market then learned how to make pasta, a fish dish an ricotta cake. One of the husbands had said he would not participate. He not only participated but said the class was one of the highlights of the trip! Thank you Alice

Alice and Francesco were amazing hosts! We loved their passion and knowledge for their heritage. They welcomed us with open arms into their lovely home and shared the three generations of family that has lived there. They inspired us to purchase the tools we used with them to be able to take what we learned back home to Indiana. We would highly recommend taking the opportunity to learn with them and get to know them better.

It was so amazing getting to spend a morning with Alice and Francesco, making pasta! They’re both so knowledgeable and helpful, it was such a highlight of my time in Italy to learn from them, and to just talk and get to know one another. Highly highly recommend taking a class with them if you get the chance, you won’t regret it. And the pasta was delicious!!
