With Chef Accursio in charge of the kitchen, make the most of your hands-on cooking class and learn tips and tricks from this talented young chef and his expert team in the kitchen. Tempt the essence from the flavors and prepare a selection of dishes using seasonal ingredients from Southern Sicily. Discover traditional cooking made with the simple, fresh ingredients grown and produced locally that celebrate the custom of families circled around the table to enjoy moments together.
Cooking Classes
Classes are held in the Palazzo’s professional kitchen under the guidance of Michelin Star Chef Accursio and his expert team. Learn how to make focacce and prepare regional vegetable toppings that locals use to flavor them. Or, spend the afternoon picking up the skills needed to turn out delicious handmade cavatelli, local homemade egg pasta, and discover some of Accursio’s favorite Sicilian sauces such as Spaghetti Con Spremuta di Sicilia, a fresh orange sauce with almond & chili pepper. Chef Accursio’s favorite recipes are those that bring back out the flavors of the land, such as sugo di maiale, pork with tomato sauce, pasta con i ceci, pasta with chickpeas, scacce, a traditional baked dish, and pastizza, traditional broccoli pie. You will also have the sweet pleasure of working with Chef Accursio to prepare delicious endings to your cooking class meals, dedicated to traditional recipes and desserts that, though part of their Sicilian heritage, are disappearing from modern menus. Whatever it is you’re cooking, Chef Accursio and his team bring a special touch to even the simplest of dishes and ensure it becomes a miniature ‘capolavoro’.
