Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Eggplant parmigiana or caponata (sweet-and-sour Sicilian dish made of fried aubergines, capers, olives and celery)
  • Busiate alla Norma
  • Lemon gelo or melon gelo

At Cesarina Marilù's home, you will experience typical Sicilian cuisine: we will prepare ancient Sicilian recipes together using fresh and genuine local ingredients, purchased directly from the Catania open-air market. Guests will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the various stages of preparing the dishes. My specialties are busiate or cavatelli, typical pasta shapes made with semolina flour, the delicious eggplant parmigiana or caponata alla catanese of vegetables. To end on a sweet note I offer my guests the refined Gelo di limone or melon.

Marilu was a great teacher! She gave clear instructions and demonstrated the steps with patience. Aside from the cooking class, she also share useful information on sites to see and Sicilian culture. Her home was lovely and welcoming. Highly recommended!

I am Marilù, your Cesarina in Catania. I look forward to cooking together and letting you taste a variety of traditional dishes that I prepare with love. We will get our hands dirty and make fresh pasta together using fresh and genuine ingredients purchased directly at the open-air market in Catania. Guests will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in all stages of dish preparation. My specialties include egg ravioli and tagliatelle, busiate and cavatelli (Sicilian fresh pasta), scacce, scacciate, and focaccias. My standout dishes are eggplant Parmesan and Sicilian-style caponata. To end on a sweet note, we cannot miss tiramisu, a dessert loved by all, as well as traditional Sicilian sweets: lemon or melon ice and sesame nougat.
