Market tour and cooking class in Palermo, Sicily
Enjoy a private and authentic gourmet Italian meal with your host Patrizia. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Patrizia was born and raised in Palermo. She learned to cook from her mother and grandmother. She is also passionate about meeting people, food and wine. In 2009, Patrizia decided to turn her passion into a business - she offers cooking classes in her home in Palermo inside an historical noble Palazzo and shares her Sicilian food, culture and history with travelers. Patrizia has also authored a cookbook on traditional Sicilian recipes. Her cuisine is regional and seasonal - typical everyday Sicilian foods, which are simple and cooked with fresh ingredients. You can expect to gain insight into the rich history and traditions of Palermo and Sicily as a whole.

This is a bustling street market that features a wide variety of vendors selling fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, seafood, cheese and household goods. Buy a few ingredients while learning about the local in-season products, before you walk back to Patrizia’s apartment for your Palermo cooking class in Sicily. Along the way you will pass through a beautiful historical area, just in front of the Cathedral. Here you will cook together using family recipes.
