Description
See Palermo through its food. This private tour of Palermo takes you through one of the finest food markets in the city, where a knowledgeable chef helps you choose local ingredients for preparing three traditional Sicilian recipes.
Uncover the treasures of Mercato del Capo
For travelers who want to taste the places they visit, this private cooking class that includes a visit to the food market in Palermo offers a hands-on introduction to Sicilian cooking. With an engaging chef beside you, you will wind through the lanes of Mercato del Capo and find the stalls selling the freshest products. Along the way, stop for the most delectable Sicilian street food, including arancine and cannoli.
However, the market tour has one clear purpose: gathering everything required for the cooking lesson at the culinary school. Our chef will help you choose the best ingredients, so follow his advice closely.Time to prepare Palermo’s culinary delights
How can you experience Sicilian food culture properly? Let our chef guide you again as you prepare a **three-course meal** built around some of the island’s best-known specialties. The dishes will follow local tradition and use whatever ingredients are in season. One possible highlight is "**arancine**"—in Palermo, don’t call them arancini—fried rice balls filled with a ragù-style sauce and peas.
Another option is **pasta alla norma**, a Sicilian favorite that brings together rich tomato sauce, fried eggplant, and the unmistakable ricotta salata. For dessert, there is the **cannolo**: a crisp pastry shell filled with sweet ricotta. Join this cooking class in Palermo to learn the secrets of these traditional recipes.Enjoy the entirety of the meal you have prepared
At last, it is time to sit down and taste the dishes you prepared at our brand **new cooking school in Palermo**. Sharing the food you have made is the best way to finish the class—and your hard work should show in every bite. Worried you will forget the recipes? We will give you a complimentary cookbook so you can make them again at home. If the market is closed, take a relaxed walk through its streets and try some food from nearby stalls instead.Highlights
