Cooking class in Palermo city center
Description
In a familiar and comfortable environment I will guide you step by step to the creation of an entire 3-course Sicilian menu from starter to dessert. You will be greeted by a welcome drink and immediately afterwards you will tie on your apron to start cooking! We will begin by preparing a starter that varies with the season. Then I will reveal the tricks for making the best fresh pasta at home, starting with the dough made of water and flour, which will be topped with a great seasonal sauce that I will teach you how to prepare. We will also make together a traditional dessert according to the season such as water melon jelly or a cassatella with ricotta cheese. At the end of the preparation we will taste the dishes together with some excellent local wine.

We would recommend the traditional Sicilian cooking class 100%. Alice and Francesco were so warm and welcoming and made our experience that much more enjoyable. We made an amazing traditional Sicilian meal including pantesca, fresh pasta ( we learned to make several different types) a green bean/tomato salad and a fantastic dessert made with sheep ricotta. Alice and Francesco taught us so much about all of the different cultural influences in Sicilian cooking and taught us to make a traditional Sicilian meal. This was one of our favorite meals while traveling through Italy and Sicily and we really enjoyed sharing it with our wonderful hosts.
Alice’s pasta cooking course with her partner Francesco was a brilliant experience. They were wonderful hosts in their lovely apartment in the centre of Palermo. Their knowledge of the history of Sicilian cookery was excellent and the whole evening was a delight. The three course meal my daughter and I made under their direction was delicious and their hospitality helped make the evening a truly memorable experience. I would highly recommend the booking of this course. Just brilliant.
We had the best time at Alice & Francesco’s cooking class in Palermo! Alice is very detailed oriented and technically perfect! Francesco told us the history of the dishes and how the ingredienys are sourced. We made a 3 course dinner comprised of CAPONATA DI MELANZANE, PASTA CON LA TONNINA and the best dessert ever -SEMIFREDDO ALLA RICOTTA. I never thought I would make pasta but I did! We were 2 couples in the class ; we are from India and they are from Ukraine. So there was a lot of wonderful cultural exchanges and knowledge transfer of cooking and dining traditions. I would highly recommend this cooking class in Palermo!! Thank you Alice and Francesco!!
What an amazing experience, Alice and Francesco were full of knowledge about the food we were preparing, and made the experience fun and inclusive for everyone. After 3 hours of cooking pasta from scratch we sat down and all shared in the bounty of which we created. Would definitely highly recommend to anyone looking to experience cooking some Sicilian cuisine. Having the shared meal really felt as if we were family.
We had a wonderful experience with Alice and her husband Francesco. We made delicious Sicilian food, we learned a lot about the history of the dishes and are so inspired to attempt the dishes again when we return home. Exceptional experience!
Wonderful cooking dinner experience. Everything was well organized, the darling couple worked together well to teach us how to cook a delicious meal, making all feel at home. Thank you.
Loved learning to cook fresh Sicilian food
We loved it. This is truly a cooking class and we learned a lot about making Siciliaan cuisine. The food was excellent as well as the chefs.
My sister-in-law and I took this cooking class on our cruise stop in Palermo! Alice and Fernando were gracious hosts and shared their love of Sicilian cooking with us. We made eggplant meatballs, pasta, Sicilain pesto and a dessert. As they taught, they shared how sicilan dishes are different than other regions of Italy. They are lovely people and we enjoyed our casual conversation over the meal we shared. I would highly recommend them!
