We had a wonderful couple of hours with Patrizia in her lovely appartment just opposite the Duomo. She was a very gracious hostess and we discussed a lot of different topics in addition to her knowledgeable pairing of seven Sicilian wines with the suitable cheese from a collection of six different cheeses, olive oil and olives from her own olive grove, bruschetta and of course her homemade caponnata, finishing iff with homemade almond cookies and a delicious Zibbibio. Patrizia also told us about a cooking class she does, where the participants meet up at the Ballaro market to get the ingredients for what they chose to cook, then go back to her appartment to learn how to cook while drinking wine and socializing. We will do this next time we visit Palermo! A delightful experience that I would recommend to food lovers and for learning more about Sicily and Italy in general.
