Authentic Street Food Cooking Class in Palermo

About

During this class, chef Maria Pia, Sicilian mother of 4, will guide you step by step through the cooking process in order to pass on to you all the knowledge she has acquired during her life in the kitchen. She will guide you through three dishes from the Sicilian street food culinary tradition. We will make sure that you master the necessary techniques to make these dishes as only Maria Pia can do. 

After we finish cooking, you will enjoy the food you made. More importantly, you will bring back home the techniques and tricks you learned to show off to your friends and family.
