Private cooking class and market tour in downtown Palermo

Discover Palermo’s culinary traditions with a hands-on cooking experience

Description

Immerse yourself in the vibrant food culture of Palermo with a private cooking class that begins at the bustling Mercato del Capo, one of the city’s most iconic markets. Guided by a professional local chef, explore the market’s colorful stalls, select the freshest ingredients, and then head to a state-of-the-art kitchen to prepare an authentic three-course Sicilian meal.

Step into the lively atmosphere of Mercato del Capo, where vendors display an array of fresh seafood, colorful produce, aromatic spices, and regional specialties. Follow your private chef as they introduce you to the secrets of Sicilian cuisine, helping you pick the finest ingredients for your upcoming cooking lesson. Along the way, you’ll also get a taste of Palermo’s famous street food, making this experience a true deep dive into local flavors.

After gathering your ingredients, head to a modern cooking school, where you’ll learn to prepare a classic Sicilian three-course meal. Guided step-by-step by your expert chef, you’ll craft some of the region’s most celebrated dishes, which could include arancine (stuffed rice balls), fresh handmade pasta dishes, and the iconic Sicilian cannoli. The menu will vary based on seasonal availability, ensuring you work with the best local ingredients.

Once your dishes are ready, sit down and enjoy the meal you’ve created, accompanied by a selection of local Sicilian wine. To keep the experience alive back home, you’ll receive a digital recipe booklet, allowing you to recreate the flavors of Sicily in your own kitchen.
