Description
This fresh pasta cooking class in Palermo puts you in the kitchen with a Sicilian mom, who teaches by gesture and taste rather than from a written recipe. The dish at the centre is pasta alla Norma, made from fresh ingredients that are local and carefully chosen.
The group is small and intimate, and the lesson goes step by step. Expect conversation, family stories and the occasional nibble straight from the pot while the sauce comes together.
When the kitchen starts to smell of dinner, the table is laid for a full menu, served as lunch or dinner:
- Pasta alla Norma, made with your own hands
- Traditional Sicilian meatballs
- Biancomangiare, a simple, refined dessert with centuries of history
- Sicilian wine and other drinks
The class lasts about four hours and is offered in English, Italian, Spanish, German, French and Arabic. Please mention any allergy or intolerance when you book. It suits anyone who would rather learn a recipe by doing it than by reading it, and who wants to sit down at the end to a full Sicilian meal.
