We’ll also craft a traditional dessert based on the season, such as watermelon jelly or cassatella with ricotta cheese.

Cooking in Sicily. - The cooking class was an amazing experience. Not only Alice and Francesco taught us how to prepare an incredible menu, they also shared pearls about Sicilian culture, language and history. All this capped with a dinner around their table. They are welcoming and warm, very generous when sharing their knowledge. Quite a special evening!

great fun experience! - We had a wonderful time with the hosts. Alice and Francesco were professional, knowledgeable about Sicily's food history and at cooking - and fun to share this experience with. The menu was nicely planned out and everything was delicious. We definitely learned to make things we can repeat when we get home and plan to (we even bought a couple of little tools to help us out for when we cook at home - THERE WAS NO PRESSURE or even mention to buy - I just happened to notice the tools on the side table and asked) . They were fun and interesting to chat with and patient with us as we cooked :) They were happy to impart their knowledge to us of the region and the food we made. A really nice time. Thank you again Alice and Francesco.

Cooking and shooting the breeze with Alice and Francesco. - You are welcomed into the private home of Francesco and Alice. Their kitchen and dining room are central to the experience. Their knowledge of italian cuisine is extensive and not isolated strictly to one region where they grew up. Of course, grandmother references abound, but the practical aspects of modern cooking are prevalent. You get a deep explanation of every dish prepared and the historical origins of these dishes. They also are able to converse about many other topics to make the time fly by as if it were just mere seconds in the kitchen. A visit to Palermo is not complete without diving into the culinary past and present of Sicily. A wonderful time and a great meal shared.

Allergy - Did not quite match what was in the description when we booked at the beginning of the year unfortunately. Good if they write clearly that people with allergies should not book on comma, had to ask the day before if allergies on writes clearly on what our friend can not tolerate, but they were not really listened to. On the other hand, they said that if you have allergies you should not come, so clarity in the program before people book e well.
