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!

- Perfecto afternoon! Such a wonderful and simple experience making 2 pasta recipes and a classic tiramisu. Rosa taught us hands-on (English) and sent us home with the easy-to-follow recipes for what we made. She has a beautiful home and was so welcoming to us all. I would love to come back to try the other recipes!
- We had a great time at the cooking class. We felt very welcome and the Rosa was amazing and explained everything very well. The dishes were amazing and making cannoli was very fun and interesting. We felt very welcome in her home and loved that we had the meal together with her family. I recommend this cooking class to everyone!
- Our cooking class with Rosa was wonderful! We made 3 traditional Sicilian dishes, which were new to us, and all turned out incredibly delicious! I feel confident that we could prepare the dishes at home since we have the recipes and the experience of making them with Rosa. It was a fabulous cooking class! Highly recommended!
- We loved this experience! Rosa Maria’s menu was perfect for our group. We met other travelers and enjoyed our dinner together. Rosa Maria welcomed us into her beautiful home and the food was amazing 🤩
- I spent a few pleasant hours in Palermo with Rosella; we went to the market and to a shop full of delicacies. Then, in her apartment, I was able to taste some typical Sicilian dishes that she prepared for me. Truly exquisite and delicious.

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.
