What am amazing and authentic experience in Palermo. In Port for a short day and used our time to spend with Rosaria learning to make 3 types of pasta. Food was delicious, host was welcoming and provided a lot of knowledge and information about the area and local cuisine. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an authentic experience.

Alice and her partner Francesco provided the perfect cooking experience we were looking for. The preparation they did beforehand allowed us to learn and have fun while enjoying their warm hospitality. Both Alice and Francesco spoke English very well, they have lived and traveled to other places beyond Italy and were interesting, interested and very skilled and knowledgeable with their culinary training. We enjoyed Francesco’s homemade limoncello as well as the candied oranges used in our cassata cake and Alice’s guidance as we learned to roll perfect cavateli. The food was molte benne and although we will try to recreate the dishes we were introduced to, the results will lack the Sicilian hospitality that added to the amazing results. We highly recommend seeking them out to experience an authentic and truly memorable culinary experience in a lovely home in Palermo. Mille grazie Alice and Francesco!

Pina welcomed us to her elegantly appointed apartment with a sweeping view of the mountains and sea for what turned out to be one of the best culinary experiences we had in Palermo, or anywhere for that matter. There is nothing more special than making food in someone's own kitchen, and Pina worked with us as we prepared gnocchi and a regional pasta, as well as sauces using fresh local ingredients. What we learned from her was something you can never get from a book, or from watching a video. We learned to feel the dough and know when the texture is just right. Pina revealed traditional pasta making secrets to us, saying "This is how my mother did it!". The time went by so quickly as we worked and talked, getting to know all about her and about Sicilian food. She had snacks and lovely wine for us as we kneaded and chopped and breathed in the aromas of garlic and tomatoes and basil. The afternoon culminated in her graciously serving us the feast we had prepared together on her lush balcony. We left, full and satisfied, with hugs and smiles and the recipes and notes to take back home. We are not Italian, but we have been given the special gift of Pina's culinary instruction as to how a true Italian cooks. We will carry the traditions and techniques back with us, and are already planning to recreate what we tasted. We will say to our friends and family who come to eat, "This is how Pina did it!" I cannot recommend any cooking experience I have had more highly than this. Sharing food and culture in someone's home is what life is about. Cook and eat with Pina and discover for yourself!

It was amazing to be instructed by such a thoughtful and attentive local host/cook. She was careful to explain each step, model it for us and then have us practice. Each pasta dish was delicious and so much better than the pasta we’ve enjoyed in the United States. We also enjoyed making and tasting authentic tiramisu.

Our host Pina Liguori was lovely, the experience was so much fun and her cooking incredibly authentic. She was great at what she did and my wife and I would recommend her to anyone wanting to do a home experience cooking class in Sicily. Bellissimo.
