Choose the Pasta & Gelato option for a practical class focused on fresh pasta making, Italian sauces, and gelato demonstrations. Learn to prepare, knead, and shape two traditional pasta types with professional local chefs. While the dough rests, take part in a chef-led gelato demonstration explaining authentic Italian techniques and ingredients.

After the class, share the fresh pasta you made, served with seasonal sauces, wine for adults, and soft drinks for children. This option suits families and travelers wanting a relaxed cooking experience with recipes and tasting.

The Sicilian Cooking & Market option offers a longer experience, starting with a visit to Mercato del Capo market led by your chef. Explore stalls, sample local products, and learn how Palermo’s markets inspire Sicilian cuisine.

Then, return to the cooking school to prepare traditional Sicilian dishes such as arancine, Pasta alla Norma, and cannoli under professional guidance.
