    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 pleasure to attend Rosa Maria's pasta class. Very instructive and pleasant stay.

    Gotzon - January 2025

    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.

    I wish there was a sixth star to give. Maria Rosa learned to cook in her father’s restaurant which had 2 Michelin stars and it comes through in everything, not only the food but the hospitality as well. Her friend Sally help with some English and with the cooking. You have to cook with them.

    Amazing!! - October 2024

    Rosa Maria
    Cesarina from 2018Location: Palermo    Languages: Italian, English, French
    In Sicily, particularly in Palermo, there is one singular regional cuisine: pasta, olive oil, vegetables and oily fish varieties, are the four cardinal staples. The dishes prepared by Rosa Maria reflect this tradition, revised with imagination and the desire to experiment, in keeping with the ancient recipes.

    Our Cesarina offers dishes inextricably linked to products and raw materials of the island; Rosa Maria welcomes us in Palermo but invites us to discover the aromas and flavors of Favignana, of Ustica and of San Vito Lo Capo.
