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.

- Our experience was one of the best of our entire cruise. Along with Rossella; we met and interacted with her husband Giuseppe and their lovely daughter and nonna. We made three courses including 3 types of bruschetta, a spinach and cheese ravioli and the Sicilian almond cookies. Rosella is a very talented chef and excellent instructor and Giuseppe provides photography and recipes electronically. The food was hand made and delicious but the family interaction makes this very special. Our group highly recommends this.
- I took this cooking demo with Rossella in her home and it was the highlight of my trip. She was so kind and welcoming. I met her husband and his mom as well. We started to cook together a simple but delicious lunch with fresh cherry tomatoes and garlic and fresh basil. And then of course fresh pasta. Then she showed me an antiposto dish that I’ve never seen or tasted which I can’t wait to share with my family. See pics. And finished off the meal with her homemade cannoli with the creamiest ricotta filling I’ve ever had. What a wonderful experience it was. Thank you so much for making my dreams come true.
- Highly recommend this family and experience!
- This was a great option in Messina. Rosella took great care of us and helped us every step of the way. The experience was first class and the food we made was amazing. They gave us the recipes and we can’t wait to try this at home. Thanks for everything Rosella! I highly recommend.
- We had the absolute best time with Rosella, Giuseppe and Nonna❤️. They were very warm and welcoming of us into their home. The authentic Sicilian cuisine was cooked to perfection and we never had a better meal... this is coming from a Sicilian. We have been to many cooking/ food experiences but this was the very best. We wish we could rate more than 5 stars! We will remember this experience always and cannot wait to come back!
