About Sicily Cooking Classs
Sicily is a different Italy on the plate: Arab, Greek, and Norman influences give you arancini, caponata, pasta alla Norma, and cannoli you won’t find on the mainland. A Sicilian cooking class — usually in Palermo or Taormina — often begins with a market tour through the Vucciria or Ballarò, then cooks what you bought.
These classes lean experiential: market-to-table, pizza-and-gelato, or a full Sicilian dinner with flowing wine. If you want a cooking experience that feels distinct from Florence or Rome, Sicily delivers it.
Guest Reviews
What Travelers Say
"This class was fantastic, would recommend to anybody!! Beautiful and roomy work area, extremely well organised and our cook was so much fun. One of my best Sicilian experiences so far"
"So much fun! Fantastic. The teacher was great and it was all delicious."
"It was such a pleasant experience that my six year old loved as well - best pizza he ever had in his words :)"
"The chef Lidia was very sympathic, dynamic and friendly. She explained everything very slowly and understandable and guided us through the learning/process. She answered every question and made the evening really enjoyable. We listened to italian music and chatted a lot while eating our pizzas and gelato and drinking (good wine or soft). Recommendable!"
