Palermo: Pizza and Gelato Cooking Class with Dinner and Wine

This pizza making class is a memorable way to spend an afternoon in Palermo, especially if you’re travelling with your family. Guided by a pizzaiolo, first, you’ll stretch the dough and make the base ready for fresh toppings of tomato and mozzarella cheese. And you’ll also discover how to make gelato - both main course and dessert are sorted! Pizza is probably the world’s favourite food, and where better to learn than Italy? As you’re in Palermo, you’ll also see how a traditional “sfincione palermitano”is made. In English, that means thick sponge, so this is a little different to the thin-based traditional Neapolitan pizza you might be used to - not that that makes it any less mouthwatering. Watch your pizzaiolo make the thick, bready dough and pay attention because you’ll pick up plenty of tips that you can use to take home when cooking in your own kitchen! Your pizza chef will show you how to stretch, sauce, bake and slice your creation. But your dough is going to have to rest before you sample your creation. However, we’ve got the time you’d otherwise be waiting filled with two activities. Firstly, anyone over 18 can sample wines. Then, everybody will learn (demostration) how to make chocolate gelato and the cone to put it in. Your chef will also take you through the history of Italian ice cream - perfect! Once everything is ready, you’ll be able to eat your delicious pizza and gelato. However, that’s not the end of the class. You’ll get a souvenir to take home - a digital booklet with recipes so you can make pizza and gelato for your family and friends back home, who are sure to be impressed! An unforgettable afternoon, you’ll learn about Italian culture and its most delicious specialities while enjoying a fun and easy experience with your family.

Wonderful experience!!If you like eating, cooking and have a good time you Can't It!!! Serena our chef and guide was really fun! We visited the Capo Market where we could live the " Sicilian Market experience" and then she taught us how to prepare Arrancina, pasta a " la Norma" and Cannoli . We really laughed and ate what we prepared. I highly recommend this tour!!!

Our instructor, Lidia, was delightful. She explained shopping for the right ingredients to make your dinner flavorful. She has a passion for cooking and truly wants her students to enjoy the same love of preparation, pride and enjoyment for the meals they prepare.

Our instructor Livia was the best! Skilled at cooking and personable, she made the whole adventure super fun and worth it. the recipes were awesome too. Scratch Cannolli, scratch maccaroni a la Norma, and Arancina. 10/10

Very enjoyable cooking class, learnt a lot about local cooking techniques & history. Learnt a few useful tips that will use at home

We had a good group of 7 and Serena was wonderful explaining the food in the market and the recipe’s we were making
