Market Tour, Traditional Cooking and Limoncello class

Patrizia was a fantastic host and a great teacher. The market tour at the start was sensational, literally. We asked questions all throughout and Patrizia was great at answering them all. We were so grateful to spend most of the time in her wonderful home, where she was a great host and made us feel very relaxed. We can’t wait to try and recreate what we made when we get home, would thoroughly recommend!

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Sicily. We met Patrizia at the market and walked with her as she got all of the ingredients for our lunch. We then proceeded to her apartment where she cleaned, prepared and dined with us. She explained all of her recipes as she went along. Of course wine was consumed during the afternoon. She is a great cook as well as an excellent host. It was fun to be in the home of a local person. Great experience had by the four of us.

This was a very fun evening with my wife. The class was small so that Gianna the chef and Patrezia the owner and mother of the Chef were able to give us Their undivided attention and they were so down to earth and very informative about Traditional Sicilian food. I am a professional chef myself and I wanted to learn more about Sicilian cooking and the food was beyond Amazing. We started out with a assorted Sicilian cheese platter then went on to making eggplant Caponata Just fabulous! Then we watched the chef make a Almond and tomato pesto to put over Busiata pasta the sauce was Flawless and perfect. Then we assisted with a veal Spadini or Braciole so good! Then Dessert was a pie that we were shown how to make A sort of ricotta cannoli filling and then it was put into a pie shell and baked in the oven I could not believe how good it tasted the filling Takes on a different texture after baking it. To top it all off we learned the process of making Limoncello and even got to take a bottle home with us All in all this was An Absolutely fabulous evening where they treated all five of us like we were their Family We recommend this to anyone who is coming to Palermo please go and enjoy their Sicilian hospitality Thank you so much for all the great information and fun evening. This class made our whole trip. Nick & Chrissy Sandora
