A Sicilian Sunday: Traditional Palermo Lunch Experience

Step into the heart of Palermo with a Sunday lunch that feels just like gathering at a local family’s table. In this hands-on cooking class, you’ll learn to prepare a comforting, soulful menu that celebrates authentic Sicilian tradition.

We’ll begin with caponata,  the island’s beloved sweet-and-sour eggplant dish made with tomatoes, olives, capers, celery, and a splash of vinegar — a vibrant appetizer where bold flavors meet perfect balance.

For the main course, we’ll craft Pasta alla Norma, a timeless Sicilian favorite featuring fried eggplant, rich tomato sauce, fresh basil, and a topping of salted ricotta. It’s a dish that transforms simple ingredients into a true taste of Sicily’s spirit.
