Cook with a Sicilian Nonna in the Heart of Palermo.
When Alex from our team tried this cooking session in Palermo, they found themselves in a family kitchen rather than a tourist workshop, and that set the tone straight away. The experience runs for about four hours and caps the group at six guests, so the table feels more like a family lunch than a class. A local nonna leads the cooking, sharing recipes handed down through her family, while a host steps in to translate her stories and tips so nothing gets lost. Palermo is a busy, layered city with markets, old streets and a strong sense of everyday life, and the setting reflects that lived-in feel. Once the cooking wraps up, the group sits down together to eat what they've made, with local wine, and swap stories about food, family and life in Sicily. For BugBitten readers who want to eat well and talk to locals, it's a relaxed, sociable way to spend an afternoon on the island.
