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

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.

This was such an incredible and personal experience. We were welcomed into Marilu and Vincente’s home where they involved all 4 of us guests equally in the cooking process. It was simple enough that we could all follow along, but we also learned something as well. It was a great class for all levels of cooking experience. The food was INCREDIBLE - so fresh and was a total Italian experience with a few hours of cooking and eating. There wasn’t any wasted time either, it was perfect. Thank you!!☺️

Esperienza bellissima! Sicuramente stra consigliata e da rifare! Mi sono divertita tantissimo a casa di Marilù: è stato giocoso, bello e divertente! Marilù dolcissima e molto alla mano. Imparare l’arte della lavorazione della pasta, è stata un’esperienza sicuramente nuova e deliziosa. Tornerò molto volentieri a casa di Marilù per imparare e preparare tantissime altre cose ☺️

It was such a delightful time. It felt like visiting a Sicilian friend’s home. When I return to Korea, I will definitely try making it the way Marilu taught me!

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