Lunch, wine and water are included and there is no transport; under twelves cannot come, two cats live in the house, and nothing is gluten free. 4.99 from 199 reviews at €99 per person for 3h. **Cook in a home?:** Choose the Italian chef's home class for Sicilian cooking, lunch and wine at €99 per person (4.99 from 199 reviews); no gluten free menus. Trade-off: Minimum two people; no children under twelve. (last checked September 15, 2026) ## Overview This experience does not take place in a tourist kitchen, but in my private home in Palermo. It is not a show: it is real cuisine, with authentic recipes of Sicilian cuisine, local ingredients and the atmosphere of a royal family. For thirty years I worked in haute cuisine in different parts of the world, passing through the most prestigious starred restaurants. I was the Chef of National TV Shows (Rai 1) and author of two cookbooks. I chose to go back to the roots and open the doors of my home to those who want to experience Sicily, not just taste it. Every dish tells a story, every gesture has a value: here you cook, eat, talk, laugh. It is an experience that also nourishes memory. You will not find scripts or fiction, but spontaneity and warmth, just like at the home of a Sicilian friend. I'll teach you what you don't find in books: perfumes, slow tempos, dialect words, hands stained with dough. For a few hours, you will really immerse yourself in Sicilian culture. ## Before you book - Meeting point: A side street of Viale Lazio - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - Starts 18:00: one departure a day - Food included: Lunch, Wine - Age 13+: is not allowed access to under 12 ## Key facts - Price: from €99 per person - Duration: 3h - Rating: 4.99/5 from 199 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 100% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Bedda Matri - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price ## What's included - Bottled water - Lunch - Wine ## Not included - We do not offer transport service - PRESENT ALREADY IN A STATE OF DRINK OR PSYCHOPHYSICAL ALTERATION. ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 18:00 - Schedule last checked: 2026-09-29 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point A side street of Viale Lazio Map: https://www.google.com/maps/place/?q=place_id:ChIJl9emFTXvGRMRf1aBf5PyImc ## Good to know - Public transportation options are available nearby - Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap - is not allowed access to under 12 - Two cats live in the house - Not GLUTEN FREE ## Compared with other Cooking Classes | Tour | Price | Duration | Rating | Group | |---|---|---|---|---| | **This tour · #3 of 16** | €99 | 3h | 4.99 (199) | shared | | [Sicilian Cooking Class](/italy/palermo/tours/sicilian-cooking-class/?format=md) | €98 | 4h 30m | 4.99 (312) | shared | | [Cooking class in a villa with Palermo view](/italy/palermo/tours/cooking-class-in-a-villa-with-palermo-view/?format=md) | €115 | 3h | 5.0 (184) | shared | | [Fresh pasta and tiramisù class in Palermo](/italy/palermo/tours/fresh-pasta-and-tiramis-class-in-palermo/?format=md) | €85 | 2h 30m | 4.99 (106) | shared | Ranked #3 of 16 in Cooking Classes by Guidekin score (rating weighted by review volume).
