Description
The cooking class in Palermo takes place in a popular local restaurant, about 100 metres from the Quattro Canti. You start with a glass of Prosecco and a look behind the scenes of a Sicilian kitchen, then wash your hands, put on an apron and get to work.
Tiramisu comes first. While you assemble it, the instructor tells you where the dessert comes from and what makes a good one. Then you move to your own workstation for the pasta. You are guided step by step through the dough, learn which flour to use and understand how fresh pasta differs from dried pasta.
- a welcome glass of Prosecco
- tiramisu and pasta, made by you
- lunch or dinner
- a glass of wine with the meal, and an apron to use
When the cooking is done, everyone sits down and eats what was made. The class lasts about two and a half hours. Allergies and food preferences can be handled with substitutes, but the lesson always follows the traditional recipes with gluten, dairy and eggs, and cross-contamination cannot be ruled out. Tell the organiser about restrictions when you book. It is not suited to vegans, people avoiding gluten or lactose, or children under 3. Hotel pickup is not included.
