  • Sfince (Sicilian Ricotta-filled fried pastries)

Sfince are soft and airy fritters typical of Palermo, fried and filled with ricotta cream, chocolate chips, and orange zest. Their name comes from Arabic and means "sponge." They are traditionally prepared for Father's Day, but they are so delicious that they can be found in Palermo's pastry shops from November to May. I will pair this delicacy with a Moscato dell'Etna, a sweet passito wine with fruity notes and a slight minerality.

It was a wonderful experience. Rosa Maria made the cooking very fun and interesting. We learned a lot about Sicilian traditions and the food tasted great. Thank you for inviting us into your beautiful home.

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.

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.
