Cooking class: learn how to cook Italian recipes

Your experience
- Local cold cuts and cheeses with homemade jams
- Pasta alla Norma (traditional Sicilian pasta dish of sautéed eggplant tossed with tomato sauce and ricotta)
- Sicilian Granita
In the city of Messina it is a must to taste a typical fresh and summer sweet meal, famous all over the world.
We are talking about the Messina granita, which comes in different flavors, (coffee, strawberry, lemon, peach, pistachio, etc.) often served with whipped cream and accompanied by a leavened pastry called brioche con il "tuppo." All this makes for a unique taste experience! If you are my guest and decide to experience this tasting, I am sure you will not regret it.
We will prepare together the typical Messina granita with brioche and I will reveal the original recipe so you can make it at home with your loved ones.

- 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.
- 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.
