# Palermo Sicilian Cooking Class with Market Tour or Pasta & Gelato

**Guidekin's take:** Two classes under one booking: shop the Capo market with the chef and cook arancine, pasta alla Norma and cannoli, or skip the market for fresh pasta and a gelato demonstration. When the market is shut the visit becomes extra tastings at the school, tips are extra, and it does not suit coeliacs. 4.96 from 370 reviews at €61 per person for 5h.

## Overview

Palermo Sicilian Cooking Class with Market Tour or Pasta & Gelato: choose between two authentic hands-on food experiences led by professional local chefs in the heart of Palermo.

This activity stands out because it combines real Sicilian recipes, local culinary traditions and practical chef guidance in a fun cooking class format. Choose the Sicilian Cooking Class & Market Tour option to visit Palermo’s Mercato del Capo with your chef, discover seasonal ingredients, then prepare arancine, fresh Pasta alla Norma and traditional cannoli before enjoying a 3-course Sicilian meal with wine.

Choose the Pasta & Gelato option for a focused Palermo pasta making class: prepare fresh egg pasta dough, shape 2 traditional pasta types, pair them with seasonal sauces and enjoy a chef-led gelato demonstration.

Both options include fresh ingredients, apron, utensils, meal, wine or soft drinks, digital recipe booklet and Graduation Certificate.
