Sicilian Cooking Class in Palermo - Private Option

About this tour

Learn to cook four authentic Sicilian dishes in a private class based in a historic Palermo palazzo. You'll start by shopping at a local market with your Sicilian cook, then return to the kitchen to prepare a complete menu together. Along the way, taste regional wines and gain insight into the culinary traditions that define this island. Ideal for travellers wanting to cook alongside locals rather than simply eat what they've made.

Highlights

• Shop at a working Palermo market with your cook before class
• Prepare four dishes in one sitting—a full Sicilian meal
• Taste local wines paired with your own cooking
• Private experience: just your group in the kitchen
• Class held in a beautiful historic building
• Lunch or dinner included, depending on timing

What to expect

You'll meet your Sicilian cook in the morning at a historic palazzo, then head out together to a neighbourhood market to select fresh ingredients for the day. Back in the kitchen, you'll work through four recipes at your own pace—typically pasta, seafood, vegetable, and dessert courses—while sipping local wine and chatting about regional food history. The cook guides you through techniques but doesn't do the work for you. Once you've finished cooking, you sit down and eat what you've made, completing the experience as a proper meal rather than a demo.
