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."

My specialities

Caponata of apples
Pasta and potatoes 'alla Palermitana' with caciocavallo, saffron and oregano
Meatballs of sardines 'Palermitana style'

: Alice was so great! We had an amazing time learning about arancini and it was so much fun perfecting our own! Highly recommend.
: My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our lesson with Alice.
: I cannot say enough about this beautiful experience shared. The market was full of local fish and vegetables along with specialty items local to Sicily. The knowledge regarding making pasta.. there is actually a science behind it. Of the actual cooking of the ingredients we got from the market and building the amazing local flavors was exceptional!!! I highly recommend recommend recommend Alice and Francesco for your experience. Warm, friendly and highly knowledgeable. ♥️
: My boyfriend and I recently took a cooking class together, and I can honestly say it was one of the most incredible experiences we’ve shared. Neither of us had ever done anything like this before, so we weren’t quite sure what to expect—but from the moment we arrived, it was clear we were in for a special evening. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, and the instructors made the whole process so fun and approachable. We learned so much—especially about pasta! I had no idea how much goes into making it from scratch, and we picked up tips and little bits of culinary knowledge that we’ll definitely carry with us. What really made the night stand out was how much we laughed and connected. It was the perfect mix of hands-on learning, great conversation, and genuinely delicious food. Honestly, the pasta we made tasted better than most restaurants we've been to! If you're looking for something fun and unique, I couldn’t recommend this cooking class enough. It was the kind of evening we’ll be talking about for a long time.
: We had the most wonderful morning cooking with Alice and Francesco, their knowledge and hospitality was amazing. Feeling very grateful to be welcomed into their home.
