From my trip report in 2024:
Monday was a fun day attending the Sicilian Pantry Cooking class. 8 of us started at the Il Capo Market again, but being Monday, there was no fish there this time. The chef picked out all of our fresh ingredients (I volunteered to carry the large bag of basil - love the smell of it!), and we made two types of ethnic street food, a pasta dish, fresh strawberry granita, and we finished with his homemade lemoncello, except it’s made with mandarin oranges. I certainly didn’t need dinner that night!
One of the main highlights for me besides the delicious food and group camaraderie, was his assistant. She was a young fireball, setting us straight with fast & loud hand-waving advice learned from her nonna! I will never combine onion & garlic again! ; )
