Your experience
- Eggplant Caponata
- Busiate alla Norma
- Ricotta cheese tart
Come to my home and let yourself be intoxicated by the unmistakable scents of Sicily! I am Cesarina Fernanda, and together we will prepare eggplant caponata. With its intense aroma and sweet and sour flavor, caponata captures all the scents of the Sicilian summer in one dish: eggplant, tomatoes, onions, basil, and a few other ingredients will come together to offer you an extraordinary taste experience.
After savoring the Palermo-style caponata, our culinary journey will take us to Trapani with busiate, the famous homemade pasta, and then to Catania with the recipe for sugo alla Norma. We will finish on a sweet note with the scents of cinnamon, ricotta, and orange zest in a fragrant tart that will leave an indelible mark on your memories.

- We had a fantastic experience at the cooking class in Catania with Cesarina Fernanda. Our group of eight was welcomed like family. Fernanda is truly exceptional, and it’s easy to understand why she’s so well known—her warmth, energy, and professionalism shine from the very first moment. We were greeted with a delicious aperitivo and excellent Sicilian wine, and her sweet family made us feel completely at home in their cozy and inviting house. The highlight for me was learning how to make fresh pasta. I already loved ravioli, but making busiate by hand has become my new favorite anti-stress passion! Fernanda’s instructions were super clear, and we had plenty of time to practice and enjoy the process together. We ended the experience with a beautiful dinner, enjoying the dishes we had prepared. She also shared all the recipes with us, and they’re available on her blog—super useful for recreating everything at home. I’m so happy to bring a taste of Sicily into my kitchen. Absolutely recommended!
- Hicimos el curso de pasta fresca solos mi marido y yo y nos sentimos como en casa. Fernanda y su familia son encantadores, amables, simpaticos y nos enseñaron los trucos y recetas de dos tipos de pasta y de tiramisú. Una experiencia autentica en todos los sentidos. Gracias por enseñarnos un poco mas de vuestra gastronomia y caracter y por ser tan hospitalarios :)
