The Sicilian Pantry is a small family run cookery school located in the heart of the Historical centre of Palermo. We offer daily market tours and cookery lessons of traditional Sicilian dishes. 

Aside from cooking lessons we also organise cooking demonstrations and private dinners.

Our large kitchen and dining room can comfortably hold up to 10 guests for classes, or even larger groups for cooking demonstrations or dinners. We can also travel to organise a meal or lesson at your accommodation (if there is an adequate kitchen).

For a tailor made workshop, large groups or tour operators, please get in touch here

Michael came to Sicily following the love of his life after meeting her on a plane! He studied Italian cuisine at Alma before working in various restaurants, soaking up every bit of information before taking off around Europe to work as a private chef. As exciting as that may seem, Michael missed the simple food & traditions of the Sicilian countryside, so he returned to immerse himself as a culinary instructor at the Gambero Rosso cooking school & then as head-chef & teacher at the Anna Tasca Lanza cooking school on the Tasca vineyard estate in the heart of the Sicilian countryside. Michael has now returned to Palermo keen to share his love & passion for Sicilian food & cooking with you!
