- The experience with Pina in her home was exceptional. She truly takes care to give you a unique and personalized experience. Beginning with her home, her home is beautiful, welcoming, and you will eventually have lunch on a gorgeous little terrace with an incredible view of the city. Regarding the actual food- she lets you try these incredible spreads and vegetables that she herself has made and pickled. Then the food you cook is spectacular! She first shows you how it’s done then let’s you get hands-on with each recipe. Preparing the pasta and the gnocchi was so special for me. She teaches with patience and a smile! I was able to write down everything so I can try my hand at it at home. I loved this experience and would recommend it to everyone. She treated me like an old friend. And the food of course was delicious. Grazie Pina!!
- imagine you crave the best Italian meal available in Palermo and you cook this meal yourself! only with Pina will you find yourself immersed in the true art of Italian cooking. Pina greets you warmly (as if you were family) and she has the most wonderful home and kitchen. She taught us about Italian food by sharing her expertise. In addition to learning how to make Tiramisu, and homemade pasta, Pina provides extras she made before our visit and which she shared with us. This was an amazing experience with a beautiful woman. We found our cooking lesson with Pina to be one of the highlights of our visit to Palermo. Book your own experience as you will not be disappointed. Thank you Pina for sharing your expertise and your love of Italian cooking.
- I spent a lovely morning cooking with Pina. She and her husband have a beautiful apartment in Palermo, I really felt like I was in Sicily. We made frittata, pasta busiate and sauce, and tiramisu. Pina served a fantastic artichoke pate and wine, of course, as we cooked. I’m embarrassed to admit that even though I am half Italian I had never made fresh pasta before. Pina taught me well because everything was delicious.
- Pina welcomed us to her elegantly appointed apartment with a sweeping view of the mountains and sea for what turned out to be one of the best culinary experiences we had in Palermo, or anywhere for that matter. There is nothing more special than making food in someone's own kitchen, and Pina worked with us as we prepared gnocchi and a regional pasta, as well as sauces using fresh local ingredients. What we learned from her was something you can never get from a book, or from watching a video. We learned to feel the dough and know when the texture is just right. Pina revealed traditional pasta making secrets to us, saying "This is how my mother did it!". The time went by so quickly as we worked and talked, getting to know all about her and about Sicilian food. She had snacks and lovely wine for us as we kneaded and chopped and breathed in the aromas of garlic and tomatoes and basil. The afternoon culminated in her graciously serving us the feast we had prepared together on her lush balcony. We left, full and satisfied, with hugs and smiles and the recipes and notes to take back home. We are not Italian, but we have been given the special gift of Pina's culinary instruction as to how a true Italian cooks. We will carry the traditions and techniques back with us, and are already planning to recreate what we tasted. We will say to our friends and family who come to eat, "This is how Pina did it!" I cannot recommend any cooking experience I have had more highly than this. Sharing food and culture in someone's home is what life is about. Cook and eat with Pina and discover for yourself!
- Pina was a super sweet and awesome woman who welcomed us into her home with joy. The home was large and a unique attraction in itself. Pina and her husband treated us so kindly, and the entire cooking and later dining experience felt like a cozy dinner with friends. I gave a cooking class as a gift to my boyfriend for his 30th birthday, and Pina even found birthday candles with the right number for the cake, and we sang the birthday song in Italian. We prepared 3 dishes together with Pina, but she also made snacks and 2 separate dishes for us. Additionally, she generously offered wine and homemade limoncello, which was superb! Overall, I would say it was one of the loveliest experiences during our trip that will be remembered! A big thank you to you, Pina!
