Sicilian Cooking Course Agrigento and Cannolo experience

About this tour

Spend four hours in Favara learning to cook Sicilian dishes in a local home while discovering the town's architecture and stories. Your host guides you through the old quarter to a celebrated pastry shop for authentic cannoli, then settles in at their 1950s-style kitchen where you'll prepare lunch using organic, seasonal ingredients. You'll handle the cooking yourself, chat about regional food heritage and family recipes, and eat what you've made together.

Highlights

• Walk Favara's narrow lanes with a local guide sharing history
• Taste genuine Sicilian cannoli at a renowned pastry shop
• Cook lunch from scratch in a home kitchen
• Learn traditional recipes and ingredient knowledge
• Eat together in a retro 1950s setting
• Use seasonal, organic produce sourced locally

What to expect

After meeting your host, you'll explore Favara's centro storico on foot, stopping at a well-known pasticceria to try proper cannoli before heading to their home. Once there, you'll don an apron and work through preparing a full meal—chopping, mixing, and cooking under guidance but with your hands doing the work. Expect conversation about why ingredients matter, how dishes connect to local life, and what makes Sicilian cooking distinct. You finish by sitting down to eat what you've cooked, with wine and water provided.
