Shared Experience
Your experience
- Pasta stuffed with ricotta, served with sage and hazelnut butter
- tagliatelle with sausage sauce
- tiramisu
- white pasta served with local cold cuts and cheeses
I look forward to welcoming you to my cookery course, designed for lovers of leavened baked goods and fresh, homemade pasta.
We’ll start by making my white pizza – fragrant and soft – to be enjoyed with local cured meats, cheeses and vegetables. We’ll then get our hands dirty making two types of fresh pasta: one filled with ricotta, served with butter, sage and hazelnuts, and tagliatelle accompanied by a rich sausage sauce.
We’ll round off the course on a sweet note by preparing a traditional classic together: tiramisu.
Vegetarian or vegan alternatives are available for each course, to ensure everyone enjoys the experience.
A hands-on and engaging experience to learn techniques, secrets and authentic flavours, in an atmosphere of conviviality and a passion for cooking.

- we had such a great time with stefania and her son alberto! the preparation and food were both excellent, but what made the day so special was their friendliness and how much they shared about their local culture, family, and what life is like... we had an amazing day!!
- Stefania was so welcoming. We had a lot of questions and she answered them all for us. We had such wonderful conversations. We loved making the ravioli and it was so delicious! Very happy!
- 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!
- Stefania has a charming home! Her knowledge of cooking and her ability to teach were fantastic. Our family truly enjoyed the entire experience.

Where
Stefania
Cesarina from 2026Location: Messina (ME) Languages: Italian and EnglishI 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.
