Absolutely fantastic! Michael and Melissa not only helped us prepare delicious polpette, pasta, and granita—they shared stories with our group, patiently answered questions and offered cooking tips…and even helped us find a transfer to the airport on a tight schedule. Awesome experience :)

This is an excellent and definitely of value experience in Palermo. Michael and his assistant are excellent, kind, generous and entertaining hosts. Wonderful walk through the market to buy our provisions; Michael patient in explaining the various items of produce. The cooking instructions are clear and easy to follow. The lunch with the other participants starts with a wine aperitivo, followed by a sit-down lunch of the dishes we prepared, with more wine, and a homemade digestif! Irrespective of your cooking skills, try this one.

Michael was so amazing! He speaks great English so there was no issue with language barrier. He was always willing to answer all of our questions and was very thorough on instructions and explanations. The space was so quaint and perfect for our group of 6. The food was delicious and I cannot wait to take the recipes home and make them! The tour through the market was fascinating too!

This was a lovely day with Michael and his assistant. Learned a lot touring the market. The class was haha on, well paced and the lunch was terrific including a couple of wines, mandarnista (like limoncello) and the final espresso. Michael doesn't a lot of time with us answering our questions about Sicilan culture in general. Highly recommend!
