Shared Experience
Your experience
- Gattopardo-Style Baked Timballo
- Tangerines or oranges sorbet
I will take you on a journey through the heart of Palermo, following in the footsteps of The Leopard, visiting the iconic locations from the series: from the majestic Quattro Canti to the evocative Piazza Pretoria, and the beautiful Church of Santa Caterina d’Alessandria.
After the tour, we will head to the kitchen to prepare the legendary Timballo del Gattopardo: a refined shortcrust pastry shell enclosing a heart of bucatini pasta, wrapped in a béchamel sauce delicately enriched with beef jus, dried and fresh porcini mushrooms, and thin strips of cooked ham.
To end on a sweet note, we will make a mandarin or orange jelly, just like the one enjoyed by the prince immediately after the timballo in the series.
An experience blending history, tradition, and unforgettable flavors!

- It was a very nice experience, Rosa Maria had beautiful and overall clean apartment where she learned us how to make the pasta. We had some fun and the result was delicious.

- Rosa was so knowledgeable! The experience was a lot of fun, and the food was delicious :) Definitely recommend
- Me and my family really enjoyed this cooking experience. Rosa Maria was a wonderful teacher. Funny, warm and welcoming, we learned how to make Sicilian pasta from scratch, along with a Sicilian pesto and tiramisu. Rosa Maria's kitchen was big (for Italian homes) and well appointed, so we had the room and the utensils needed to make our meal. We then enjoyed the fruits of our labor in her wonderful dining room, complete with red and white wines, We could do this again in a heartbeat!
- Great pasta class. Rosa Maria is a great host and an excellent teacher of cooking. We made the pasta and sauce and then sat down together to enjoy our efforts with some lovely wine.

Where
Rosa Maria
Cesarina from 2018Location: Palermo (PA) Languages: Italian, English, French In Sicily, especially in Palermo, there is one true regional cuisine — based on four essential ingredients: pasta, olive oil, vegetables, and oily fish. These are the foundations of my cooking. My dishes reflect this tradition, but I love to add a touch of imagination and a desire to experiment, always staying true to the spirit of our ancient recipes. I use ingredients that are deeply connected to the land and sea of Sicily. I welcome my guests here in Palermo, but through my food, I also invite them to discover the aromas and flavors of Favignana, Ustica, and San Vito Lo Capo.
