Sicilian Arancine Cooking Class in Mondello

An experience in Ileana's own home — a professional cook and Slow Food member — in her kitchen in Mondello, a few steps from the sea. Not a cooking school: a real Sicilian home, where you cook together and then sit down to eat.

The experience begins with the story and the fascinating origins of the arancina, a true symbol of Sicilian tradition.

You'll be guided through preparing the classic butter filling, while Ileana shares the secrets of the meat ragù filling passed down through generations. Next comes the risotto — the essential base for perfect arancine — and together you'll learn to stuff and shape these delicacies before frying them the traditional way.

To finish, you'll taste the freshly fried arancine paired with a Sicilian wine.

Available all year round.
