Tasting of traditional dishes

Shared Experience
Your experience

    My cuisine is inspired by the typical recipes of Sicily and in particular the Catania tradition. The dishes I offer my guests are prepared with seasonal and local ingredients purchased in the historic markets of the city of Catania. Among the appetizers I choose local cured meats and cheeses. I love making fresh pasta in traditional Sicilian formats: cavatelli, busiate, dressed with fresh tomato and basil sauce or seasonal vegetables. My workhorse is parmigiana or caponata alla catanese. As dessert I like to offer my guests lemon or melon frost.

    A wonderful experience. We learned how to make 4 styles of ravioli. The recipes were easy to follow, and Marilù explained everything. Our Italian is not the best but we were able to understand everything. Thank you Marilù and Vincenzo for having in your home and sharing a wonderful evening!

    Cesarina from 2022Location: Catania    Languages: Italian, English, French, Spanish
    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.
