We had a wonderful time with Serena during this cooking class and market tour. She is very engaging and knowledgeable. We also enjoyed interacting with other travelers from other places around the world. We ate plenty of good food after we made it, we didn't even need dinner! It was a very enjoyable way to spend the day on our trip to Palermo. I highly recommend it if you are into cooking, like we are!
Would highly recommend to anyone!

Serena did a wonderful job, she was very knowledgeable. She brought us through the market place and then back for our class. My daughter and I are anxious to try what we learned back home.
Feel like a pro!

We saw the market through the eyes of our local guide and it made for such a rich understanding of what we were seeing! Our chef, Serena, was fantastic, explaining the chemistry of the cooking processes - I've been cooking for 50 years and I learned a ton from her today! She was so funny and knowledgeable, it was the best time!
Cooking in Palermo!

Enjoyable experience, the chef was terrific and knowledgeable and the facility was very clean. She took us to one of the really nice markets. I love to cook -- so it was a little less challenging for me - but I think it was really a great confidence booster for my husband. He really caught on and it will be nice to have him participate in our own kitchen! The Pasta norm and cannolis were great, wasn't impressed with the aranicini - something about the bread crumbs was off. But the chef was great!
