About this tour
Learn to cook classic Sicilian dishes in a home kitchen over five hours, sourcing ingredients from local markets or pre-selected by your host. You'll work through seasonal recipes, understanding how each ingredient transforms across different plates. The afternoon culminates in sitting down to eat what you've prepared—dishes built on regional traditions and quality produce. This hands-on session doubles as a cultural primer: you'll taste Sicily through cooking it.
Highlights
- Shop at neighbourhood greengrocer with your instructor for fresh ingredients
- Learn multiple dishes from single ingredients using seasonal variations
- Cook in a Sicilian home using traditional methods and local products

What to expect
Arrive at your host's home where you'll begin by either heading to a local market together or reviewing pre-chosen produce already on hand. Your instructor will walk you through ingredient selection and explain how each item functions across the day's menu. Expect to spend two to three hours actually cooking—chopping, mixing, simmering—with guidance on technique and timing. You'll learn why certain flavours work together and how seasonal shifts affect what Sicilian cooks actually prepare. Lunch happens once everything's ready; you'll sit and eat the food you've made, tasting the results of your work.
