Description

Good to Know

This Palermo cooking class is not only a fun and valuable cooking experience but also a fascinating journey through Sicilian food and culture. Taking place in one of the most beautiful Palermo historic building, meet your Sicilian cook in the morning in order to go together to buy food in a local market. Once the shopping is done, it is time to go home and start cooking together. Prepare 4 dishes (a complete truly Sicilian menu) while drinking local Sicilian wines and discovering more about this beautiful region.

Special tour that will be a memory never forgotten!

My daughter and I had such a lovely experience with our host, Patrizia! She was warm and welcoming and full of energy. She taught us how to make beautiful tasty pasta, Sicilian pesto, caponata and a traditional dessert! The meal, wine and company was something we will never forget!

Palermo cooking class

We did Sicilian cooking class with Lidia, she was amazing. Very patient, explained & showed us techniques how to make arancini, Sicilian pasta & cannolis with great group & sense humour. Thank you for fun day!!!

Hello! Who is Lidia? I see you forgot my name:-(( Anyway I am glad you remember about arancini and cannoli, so that's ok! Grazie from Patrizia!

Wonderful experience!

Patricia is amazing. You will not regret taking this class and spending a few hours with her. Our family enjoyed all we learned about Sicilian cooking but also talking about culture and people and traditions. The food was excellent as was the snacking along the way. I think we could have spent many more hours just chatting with her. A great Sicilian experience!

Lovely cooking class

I felt so welcomed from the very beginning. As a solo traveler it very good to be received well. The trip to the market was as informative as the class. I would highly recommend. I can't wait to share these dishes with my family.

Dear Lynn, I feel so proud for this comment, thank you. It has been so nice to meet you again, happy for choosing to do the experience of cooking with me for the second time! I wait for you back in my countryhouse next year! Patrizia
