Shared Experience
Your experience

    In Palermo the celebration dedicated to the Dead is particularly heartfelt and the whole city is colored with food and sweet things.

    We will take a tour of the ancient Ballarò market together to admire the stalls ready for the Festival of the Dead. We will purchase the useful products to make "U Cannistru", basket or boxes of the Dead. We will return home to prepare the famous "Frutta Martorana" to put in the basket. During the experience I will sing for you songs in the Sicilian language specific to this festival and you will bring your baskets with you.

    Rosa was an amazing host! We learned so much about making pasta and pesto, and she welcomed us into her space with so much warmth. We will never forget sharing a self-cooked meal with authentic Italians. Thank you for everything Rosa!!

    Had a fantastic evening with Rosa! The dishes were simple and yet prepared with great care and skill - the essence of Italian cuisine. Rosa is an incredibly warm and generous host. Thank you again for such a lovely experience!

    Our Sicilian cooking experience with Rosa in her home was fantastic. Rosa expertly showed us how to make pasta and Tiramisu from scratch. Rosa cooked the pasta and we enjoyed a wonderful meal with two other nice travellers from Switzerland. We highly recommend the Pasta & Tiramisù cooking class with the beautiful Rosa.

    We had a Pasta & Tiramisu cooking class with the beautiful and delightful Rosa on Friday 13th 2024 in Palermo. Rosa was so warm and welcoming we felt right at home as she expertly showed us how to make fresh pasta and Tiramisu from scratch. We later enjoyed the beautiful food with Rosa and two wonderful fellow travellers from Switzerland. Not only did Rosa wow us with her beautiful food, her singing was amazing and wonderfully entertaining. We highly recommend this experience with Rosa.

    I love to cook and experiment, but in the end I love to cook and eat Sicilian, using Sicilian products at Km 0. What I cook was taught to me by my mother, by aunts and grandmothers acquired over time. I am a singer and actress, so I love to sing while I cook and entertain my guests with songs and stories of our Sicily bedda. At my table, simple and well-finished, seasonal dishes, with attention for vegetarians and gluten intolerant.
