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.

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.

Patrizia creates a warm friendly environment for all her guests. The food was amazing and comforting. After traveling for weeks, it felt so good to be taken care of as welcomed guests in her home as we learned how to cook authentic Sicilian food. She is a true joy. Time with Patrizia was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend!

Since it was a holiday, Patrizia offered to conduct the class at her home in S Stefano Di Camastra, which is a hour train ride from Palermo. Patrizia has a beautiful home in the hills, with views of sea & mountains. She was kind to pick me from the train station. We made a unique pesto with almonds (instead of pine nuts), eggplant caponata & Involtini di carne (sliced beef rolls with fillling), all of which were amazing. Patrizia made the process of cooking very easy, and also showed how to retain the original taste & texture, which is essence of Sicilian cooking. She served locally made wine which was unique & paired well with the meal. Thanks to Patrizia for being a wonderful host, culinary instructor & conversationalist. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience & highly recommend.

Had a fantastic time with Patrizia learning about traditional Sicilian cuisine. We started the morning off gathering ingredients at a local market and got right into preparing a delicious four course meal in the home of our host. Can’t miss an experience like this one, great food and even better people.

We could not have chosen a better way to start our Sicilian adventure. We met Patrizia at the market and we set off together through stall after stall loaded with wonderful fresh produce with Patrizia explaining her preferences and her choices. It was wonderful to have such a knowledgeable guide. Then back to her beautiful apartment opposite the Cathedral where Patrizia welcomed us warmly and mapped out a 4 course meal from all the amazing ingredients we bought and coached us through its preparation - while enjoying some excellent Sicilian wine and cheese of course. Patrizia is engaging, generous and understandably proud of her Sicilian heritage and cuisine and gives a wonderful education in both, culminating in a simple but delicious meal in a most welcoming, artistically beautiful home. We highly recommend this wonderful experience.

My daughter and I booked the cooking class in Palermo with Patrizia last week and had such a wonderful time! I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a relaxing and delicious break from site seeing. We met Patrizia and walked to the AMAZING market to pick our fresh seafood and dinner ingredients. The market was phenomenal, so much fresh seafood. We picked from what was in season and then casually walked back to Patrizia's charming place. We drank wine, ate cheese and made swordfish rolls, fresh pesto pasta, delicious artichokes and a sweet dessert with a Limoncello chaser (whatch out for that one!). Patrizia was such a great hostess, we had such a lovely time and agreed this was the best meal we had in Rome/Palermo. It was so fresh and so delicious! The experience was one we will not soon forget, I cannot recommend it more highly. Thank you Patrizia!

A delightful stroll thru the market to purchase our meal ingredients, watched a fish monger carve the fish and watched our chef haggle for the fresher veggies.
Patricia welcomed us into her home, and together we prepared a wonderful Sicilian feast.
Felt like friends around the table chatting and enjoying delicious food.
Definitely do this!
