The red umbrellas of the fishmongers, the live fish on their counters, the shouting merchants, the colours of fruits and vegetables, the smells of spices, people in the streets between the Baroque buildings… Here’s a quick impression of the Piscarìa, the historical food market of Catania, nestled between Piazza Duomo and the 16th century gate of Charles V.
Visiting the food market is an opportunity to taste some local products and to buy some of the ingredients that will be used to season the pizzas made during our pizza-making class: olives, salted anchovies, tuma and ricotta cheese, fresh tomatoes, spicy salami...
Then we move to a pizzeria very well known in Catania for its long leavened dough and superior quality ingredients. There, we start our hands-on activity: under the guidance of the pizza chef, everyone learns to roll out the pizza dough as a pizza chef does and then, following some advices, everyone seasons the pizza as he/she likes!
After lunch with tasty Sicilian appetisers and the pizzas prepared, it’s time for the Sicilian cannolo cooking show and tasting!
Are you in Taormina? Our pizza-making class is held in the best pizzeria of the town, just a few steps from Piazza Duomo.
