Fun and Educational! - We absolutely loved this tour. The market tour was informative and interesting. The chef and his assistant made the experience fun and educational. I would definitely consider doing another tour with these two.

Fun day cooking - Highly recommend this cooking class! We had so much fun. You start with the market tour where your chef points out different things and gives you the opportunity to purchase any goods. Then you go back to the kitchen to start cooking. The class portion was the perfect mix of us getting to do the cooking and the chef doing some of the harder steps in front of everyone. All the food turned out delicious. This was one of the highlights of our trip!

Awesome Cooking Class and Market Visit - This was a wonderful and fulfilling experience. Serena is a fantastic cook and extremely knowledgeable and helpful! The wonderful meal of Aranchina, Pasta with Ragù, and of course the Cannoli’s were delicious and hand made! One of the best and most memorable days on our journey to Sicily!

Mind Blowing! - We Love Serena S. She is a top Chef, speaks amazing English, and is an excellent instructor! We have had many duel and boring tours before. This is NOT one of them! You will feel a part of when you are with her and really experience the Sicilian culture! Selena will provide a clean, safe warm and friendly environment the whole time! And food you can be confident to cook at home when you are finished! You must experience it!

Pasta, Arrancini, Cannolli - Salvo the chef took us to the nearby market where we learned about the Palermo neighbourhood and market culture. He shared lots of tips for preparing macaroni Alla Norma, arrancino and cannoli and we did plenty of hands on, making the pasta from scratch, assembling the arrancini and rolling the cannoli. The kitchen area was professionally set up and spacious with plenty of preparation area, even for our large group. We ate the food we made and drank wine and with Salvo's humour and warmth it turned into a very enjoyable day. I highly recommend this.

Cooking in Palermo! - Enjoyable experience, the chef was terrific and knowledgeable and the facility was very clean. She took us to one of the really nice markets. I love to cook -- so it was a little less challenging for me - but I think it was really a great confidence booster for my husband. He really caught on and it will be nice to have him participate in our own kitchen! The Pasta norm and cannolis were great, wasn't impressed with the aranicini - something about the bread crumbs was off. But the chef was great!
