What you can expect

  • Immerse yourself in the centuries-old pastry traditions of Sicilian convents with this exclusive baking class in Palermo. Held in a stunning location overlooking the port, this unique experience will take you on a journey through history, devotion, and craftsmanship.

    Your host will guide you through the preparation of three iconic Sicilian desserts, each with a storey rooted in monastic cuisine and Sicilian culture:
    Castelbuono Turk’s Head – A rich dessert with milk cream, cookies, cinnamon, and dark chocolate, prepared in a special family recipe passed down through generations.
    Blood Orange & Mint Frost – A refreshing and fragrant Sicilian delicacy, showcasing the vibrant flavours of the island.
    Classic Sicilian Cannoli – Learn the authentic technique for making the perfect crispy shell and creamy ricotta filling, just as the nuns did in their convent kitchens.

    As you bake, you’ll uncover the secrets of convent pastry making, where tradition, spirituality, and Sicilian ingredients come together in a unique culinary art.

    This class is more than just baking—it's a chance to connect with Sicily’s cultural heritage, discover stories behind its most beloved sweets, and leave with authentic recipes to recreate at home.
