    This class exceeded expectations. It was so much fun, so informative, and the food was the best we had during our entire stay! The company was organized and so prepared for us, and it was our absolute favorite part of the trip. Would give more than 5 stars if I could!

    Michael and Melissa were great! They were both incredibly knowledgeable on Sicily’s culinary history and how each culture influenced modern day eating. Michael made sure to contact us the day before with the menu and to confirm any dietary restrictions we had. Descriptions to the pick up area were easy to understand and the walk through the street market to gather the ingredients was a great way to start the lesson. The lesson itself was well organized and efficient. Michael and Melissa made sure to clearly explain all of the steps and why each ingredient was important to the overall dish. Of course, the dinner was incredible. Highly recommend this experience for someone who wants to learn Sicily’s diverse culinary cultural influences.

    Michael was fantantic throughout the experience. We met him in Palermo and he started the tour off going through the local market and buying all the fish and produce we cooked for the course with really good insight.
    We made fresh pasta, swordfish, panelle, and a dessert. We toured Italy for 30 days and the pasta was in our top 3 dishes of our entire trip, we’re so happy we have the recipy and the know-how to create it at home now. I’d recommend this to any home cook and beginner. Michael was very patient and gave everyone a chance to learn and do specific jobs to prep.

    We really enjoyed the cooking class with Michael and Melissa. The food was delicious, instructions were clear, and the experience was seamless. It was wonderful to walk through the market and learn about seasonal foods. The meal at the end was delicious and we got the opportunity to try some local wines. They also catered really well for vegetarians. Highly recommend this experience!

    Incredible cooking class. Michael is so knowledgeable about Sicilian food and cooking skills. Delicious food and enjoyable meal!

    We had an amazing experience with Michael, Melissa, and the group. The group was small which made it feel more personalized. We visited the Market Il Capo, and learned about local produce, where to buy some of the best Arancine, cheese, and greens. Michael bought some of the produce we were going to use in the recipes. The house where the cooking school is located is beautiful. Spacious, and nicely decorated. The cooking experience was great, Michael and Melissa were patient with everyone and explained everything. We got some great tips on some basics of Sicilian and Italian cooking. After cooking we all had lunch and wine together and the food came out very good! Overall a great experience, recommended 100%. Thank you Michael and Melissa.

    We had so much fun, Michael taught us so much about Sicilian cooking and gave great tips and tricks! He answered all our questions with much enthusiasm and energy and was also a lot of fun to chat with! Can really recommend!

    Michael is knowledgeable and personable. Walking through the Capo Market was informative. The techniques he demonstrated and taught us were useful although I am saddened by the reality that it is impossible to purchase artichokes on long stems where I live! The small group size was a huge plus. Wholeheartedly recommended!

    Learning how to make pasta and sharing the meal with everyone
    The friendliness and the information that I can take away and use
    The easy way Michael had with everyone

  18. Morgan_A

    WOW what a great class! Michael is incredibly knowledgeable and shared many useful cooking tips throughout the class. The meal was a delicious and a joy to cook. We did a few other great activities while in Palermo and our family agrees this class was our favorite. It is a MUST do while in Palermo. Thank you Michael and Melissa!

    I really enjoyed the course. Michael and his assistant [sorry, forgot her name], were helpful with tips on how to do things properly, such as kne=ading, using a knife, and stuff you wouldn’t
    t know.
    We went to the market and bought the items for the course and Michael explained about the seasonal aspect of Sicilian food.
    Loved the Panelle but all food was good we made.
    Great group of people too and really worth it.

  20. Christa_G

    Best of Palermo from start to finish. Great history, tips and techniques to bring home. Michael is personable and true to details of Sicilian history and authenticity

  21. Cedric_P

    Michael is an amazing host and knows how to make his chef presentation into an interactive experience integrating everyone’s personalities. His communication skills are excellent for both italian and english speakers since he is irish. The dishes were masterfully planned even if they appeared simple, which is sicilian cooking. From start to end the experience has been perfected. We had an amazing time and would recommend to everyone in palermo for 1 or more than day. Best cooking class I have ever done!
