What to expect
You'll spend the first part wandering through Palermo's market with Fulvio, learning what's in season and how locals choose their ingredients. Back at the kitchen, he'll walk you through each recipe step-by-step—nothing complicated, just solid technique. Expect to chop, mix, cook and taste as you go. Once everything's ready, you'll sit down together and eat properly, not rush through it. The pace is relaxed; this isn't about speed or perfection, but understanding how Sicilian food actually works.
Good to know
Let the chef know about any allergies or dietary requirements in advance. Strollers are welcome if you're bringing small children. Public transport is nearby if you prefer not to arrange your own transport. The full four hours covers market, prep, cooking and eating.
