Description
This Sicilian cooking class in Palermo, with a market tour, takes place in the host's own home, a few steps from Mercato del Capo. You meet at the meeting point and walk there together, and the host welcomes you with an Italian coffee and Sicilian biscuits before the cooking begins. It lasts around four hours.
You make fresh handmade pasta with a traditional sauce based on seasonal ingredients, so the exact dish depends on what is available. While the dough rests, the class heads out to wander through Capo Market, among the liveliest of Palermo's traditional markets, to see the ingredients and try typical Sicilian street food.
Back home you finish the meal and prepare a Sicilian dessert, such as almond or chocolate granita. Then everyone sits down together to eat the lunch with local wine in a relaxed, family-style setting.
- Hands-on cooking with all ingredients provided
- Guided visit of the market and a street food tasting
