Shared Experience
Your experience
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!

- Great class, making gnocchi with spinach, tagliatelle and cassatine with ricotta and cream. Hands on, well explained, absolute pleasure.
- Excellent experience very cozy and great fresh ingredients. Very family oriented and happy fun time. Highly recommended.
- "It was a pleasure to attend Rosa Maria's pasta class. Very instructive and pleasant stay.
- Amazing! Rosa Maria prepared an incredible experience for us, opening her home and teaching us skills with patience, passion and humor. Highly recommend! The meal was made with simple, fresh ingredients and we feel like we could re-create the meal at home. She is humble, but we discovered she owned a family restaurant that received 2 Michelin stars. A highlight of our trip!
- We came with high expectations, and Rosa Maria and Sally far exceeded them. The recipes are simple but elegant. The instruction was delightful. And the resulting food was delicious. I highly recommend experiencing this class.
