Authentic Sicilian Cooking Class in Palermo

About this tour

Roll up your sleeves in a Palermo kitchen to learn how Sicilians actually cook. Over three hours, you'll shape fresh pasta by hand—tackling one filled variety and two simpler cuts—then dress them in proper sauces made the way locals do. After you've cooked, you'll eat what you've made in the garden with local cheese, cured meat, and aperitifs. Dietary needs (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free) are handled without fuss.

Highlights

• Hand-shape three different fresh pasta styles from scratch
• Cook and season dishes using traditional Sicilian techniques
• Taste your work in the garden with local aperitif spreads
• Learn regional recipes passed down in the chef's family
• All dietary requirements accommodated from the start
• Kitchen tools and ingredients provided for every guest

What to expect

You'll arrive and jump straight into pasta-making—no theory, just hands-on work at a shared table with other guests. The instructor guides you through rolling, cutting and filling dough without pretence. Once your pasta is ready, you'll cook it and plate it up with house-made sauce. The rhythm is relaxed: you make, you cook, you eat together outdoors. Expect flour on your clothes and actual appetite by the end.
