Description

Discover the heart of Palermo’s rich culinary traditions with a unique walking tour and cooking class that blends history, flavors, and authentic experiences. Start your journey with a guided stroll through Palermo’s lively streets, exploring the historic Ballarò and Vucciria Markets, the city’s most famous and vibrant food markets. As you walk through its colorful stalls filled with fresh seafood, aromatic spices, and Sicilian delicacies, you’ll learn about the city’s unique blend of Arabic, Spanish, and Italian influences. After exploring, head to a local home kitchen for a hands-on Sicilian cooking class. Using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, you’ll learn to prepare an authentic Palermo dish, such as pasta con le sarde, panelle, or caponata—mastering traditional techniques passed down through generations. Once your meal is ready, sit down and enjoy your homemade Sicilian feast, paired with a glass of fine Sicilian wine.

Disappointing experience

Apparently, many different people can be your guide and cook. In our case, the lovely older lady did not hardly speak or understand any English, and therefore we got very little information about Sicilian cooking, culture etc. After the market tour, we went to two, since one was closed, which took over 90 minutes, the Cesarina did all the cooking by herself and choose how everything would be prepared. During the meal, all 4 of us had to share one bottle of wine, again selected by the Cesarina, otherwise there was water. Our experience did not match up with the description of the tour or.many of the other reviews. The food was simple but good,, however for $150 per person it was way over priced.

Lovely Sicilian Cooking Experience

If you are looking for an authentic home cooked meal of your taste, look no further. Ceserina is a wonderful cook who grew up in Palermo learning the recipes of her mother and grandmother. She took us step by step through the cooking process, explaining Sicilian traditions in her broken English.
