Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina

Shared Experience
Your experience
  • pasta with Ghiotta sauce
  • swordfish or stockfish stew
  • cannoli with ricotta or black and white, or tiramisu

A real trip down memory lane to my childhood. I’m sharing one of the most authentic recipes from Messina’s cuisine, taught to me by my grandfather Bartolo. Ghiotta is a tasty sauce packed with olives, capers, tomatoes and celery, which envelops swordfish or stockfish in a embrace of authentic, Mediterranean flavours.

Stefania and her husband welcomed us into their beautiful home in Messina and created a wonderful experience for our family. We made pasta from scratch, and Stefania shared her savoiardi recipe with us, so we can prepare tiramisu at home when we return to America. She prepared a delicious white focaccia and tasty tomato and eggplant spreads as appetizers, then served our handmade ravioli with butter and fresh sage, along with tagliatelle with sausage ragù. We highly recommend this experience to travelers! It was a pleasure to learn more about Sicilian culture and cuisine while chatting with our wonderful hosts! When you book the experience, the Cesarine service matches your group with an available home cook and puts you in touch via WhatsApp to provide directions and parking information, if needed. Thank you so much! This will be one of the highlights of our vacation and our stay in Sicily!

Cesarina from 2026Location: Messina (ME)    Languages: Italian and English
I am Stefania, a teacher with a great passion for cooking, an art that for me represents much more than just preparing dishes. Cooking is love, tradition, sharing, and friendship. I enjoy creating both sweet and savory dishes, with a particular focus on leavened products, which require patience and dedication. The traditional cuisine of my beloved Sicily is my deepest source of inspiration: the recipes passed down from my grandmother and mother are treasures I strive to preserve and share. Through cooking, I express care and affection, keeping family and cultural traditions alive. Often, the dishes I prepare tell a story, a connection to my roots and to the people I love. For me, cooking is a moment of togetherness, an opportunity to share not only food but also emotions, friendship, and precious memories.
