Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
I will teach you how to cook one of Sicily's most characteristic dishes. The world-famous Sicilian rotisserie will thus have no more secrets for you, and you will be able to reproduce these recipes at home while having fun with your family. Traditional Sicilian Rosticceria includes some specialties that are all prepared with a basic dough, similar to pan brioche, which is very soft and fluffy. To end on a sweet note, a classic dessert: almond pastries.
A fantastic tour guide and a wonderful tour experience, from start to finish! Every aspect of our tour professional and highly informative! Details I never would have thought of to ask about were brought up and discussed at length and in great detail. The food was wonderful and Rossella and her husband were friendly, charming, highly knowledgeable, and extremely knowledgeable! Highly recomneded with 5 stars *****

We had a great experience with Rosella, loved that they took pictures so we could enjoy the cooking and eating. Everything was delicious and she provides the recipes to try at home! Nice excursion that isn't your typical tour.

My wife Sue and I consider this a marvelous experience. We learn a lot about the nuances of pasta making, had fun doing it, and enjoyed a complete meal with the group. Very friendly hosts. Highly recommend.

Rosella was fantastic. What a wonderful way to spend time in Messina. We started in the market, about 25 min walk from our cruise ship. We met Rosella and her cousin (with perfect English), we toured the market, bought some groceries, and then met Rosella’s kind husband outside for a car ride to their new house atop a hill. Once inside, we were greeted with appetizers, wine, coffees, water, etc. and then suited up in our aprons and started the cooking lesson. We made homemade pesto, using a mortar and pestle! The basil smelled divine. Then we all made fresh pasta by hand. After we all ate together and really got to know one another, the time flew by. We loved sitting around their table, in their beautiful home, with a beautiful meal and were surprised by the most delicious cannolis you’ve ever had!! My dad doesn’t usually like cannolis but after a bite of mine, he went for a whole one! Ha. After the meal, we took some photos and downloaded the ones they had taken, and Rosellas husband gave us a ride back to town, 2 min walk to the cathedral, clock tower, fountain and cruise terminal. It was a lovely day. I would recommend this experience as the best way to experience Sicily for anyone visiting Messina!

I have always been passionate about cooking, with the desire to try new recipes and experiment with new tastes, always maintaining a bond of flavors and smells of my Sicily. I like to take care of the presentation of the dish and I like to share my passion with others. My house is large and welcoming, always ready to host friends and tourists to whom I can give the pleasure of tasting some local delicacies.
