Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Busiate (pasta) with pesto in the manner of Trapani
  • Fresh stuffed egg pasta
  • Tiramisu

I am Cesarina Fernanda, a food blogger and a passionate mom who loves traditional Italian cuisine, with a particular fondness for Sicilian dishes. I dedicate many hours each day to cooking, always in search of new flavors and recipes to share.

I invite you to my home for an unforgettable culinary experience. Together, we will prepare busiate with Trapanese pesto, a delightful sauce made with tomatoes, basil, almonds, pecorino cheese, and extra virgin olive oil. In agreement with you, we can vary the menu by making a seasonal pesto or sauce.

We will then move on to egg pasta filled with ricotta and Bronte pistachios, a true delicacy that will captivate you. And to finish beautifully, we will prepare the most classic of Italian desserts: coffee tiramisu!

I can't wait to welcome you!

Today We learned a Lot about making Pizza at Fernanda‘s Place in her beautiful and big Kitchen. It was an Amazing experience accompanied by red wine and Self-Made Limoncello of Fernanda‘s mother. We made a Lot of different Pizzas with different delicious toppings and We Even learned how to make the dough ourselves and shape it. Thanks to Fernanda’s nice daughter, we could easily Communicate in English. High recommendation to try it by yourself!

Our cooking class in Sicily was truly one of the highlights of our entire trip! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, relaxed, and completely immersed in the wonderful food and culture of Sicily. The experience was so much more than simply learning how to cook. We learned about traditional Sicilian ingredients, techniques, and the stories behind the dishes, all while having a wonderful time. They even played the traditional Sicilian music we requested. Everything prepared was absolutely delicious, and it was so special to sit down with the family together afterward and enjoy the meal we had created. Fernanda and her daughter, Irene, were warm, patient, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience fun and memorable. There was plenty of laughter, great conversation, dancing, and of course, amazing food! We gathered around a beautifully set table. Fernanda's husband, Nucchio, and son, Allesio, joined in the celebration of good food and local wine. We will remember this experience for a very long time and would wholeheartedly recommend this cooking class to anyone visiting Sicily. If you're looking for an authentic, personal, and delicious Sicilian experience, don't miss this class! It was one of the most memorable experiences of our trip.

A highlight of our trip! Fernanda and her daughter were the best hosts, we felt so welcomed from the moment we started. Both were very patient and explained thoroughly the processes also sharing their knowledge and answering our questions. We finished with eating our products with the family over conversation. Such a great experience to truly understand Sicily and the local cuisine. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again when in Sicily next!
