Cooking lesson: learn how to cook Italian recipes with a local Cesarina
Private Experience
Your experience
You can celebrate a significant event with a typical culinary experience from my city. My home will be your home for the entire experience, and I will reveal to you the secrets of Sicilian cooking, particularly on how to cook 'swordfish a ghiotta' (a typical fish from our seas, cooked in tomato sauce). We will begin with a characteristic aperitif with local cheeses and meats, accompanied by a DOCG Prosecco, followed by a first course of fresh pasta topped with swordfish sauce. This will be followed by a second course, the 'swordfish a ghiotta'. A true delight, unique in its kind! We will conclude the experience with a dessert of your choice between Sicilian cannoli, almond pastries, or tiramisu. The meal will be accompanied by a typical DOCG wine from the territory, red or white.

- This was a really lovely and intimate tour - it was just my wife and I in the tour group and we had an excellent experience. We got to participate in cooking a meal from a local market to a family table, which was a unique experience. We really enjoyed this and would totally recommend it for anyone looking for something a little different in this area!
- It was a wonderful evening. The food was delicious and the conversations were wonderful. We treated each other like friends, not like guests. We wish you all the best.
- We had wonderful time with Rosella, her husband Giuseppe, and mom in law Pina. They were very gracious with their home. The ambience was great with music, prosecco, and some home prepared apps. Then we made the noodles from scratch, including ravioli, fettuccini, and spaghetti. Not as difficult as we thought it would be, but Rosella had the right equipment and made it easy for us. We ate together and shared stories. It was a wonderful time, and we will return again.
- Absolutely memorable experience. Our hosts, Rosella and Giuseppe were so warm and welcoming to their home. Raviolis and Almond cookies we learned to make were the best Pam & I ever tasted.
- This class in Sicily was such a great experience! Our host Rosella and her family was amazing. They worked together to host the event. They were super welcoming, fun, and clearly passionate about sharing classic Italian food and traditions. The food we made was delicious, and the whole thing felt very authentic. Overall, I’d totally recommend the class itself because the host made it fantastic.
