- Wonderful cooking class where Rosella taught us how to make fresh pasta and arancini and showed us how she made caponato. This is all in a lovely home in Messina with family members helping and then serving us the results. Dean Martin singing in the background. Our tour guide Guiseppe translating as needed and capturing and sharing photos. What could be better? Highly recommend.
- This was my favorite excursion that we did on our cruise! The smaller group, the family we visited, and the delicious Italian meal we made and ate together was a great experience to have in Sicily!
- It was an absolute joy to be welcomed into Rosella's home. We were visiting Sicily from the states and I was hoping for a chance to learn some of the culture and engage with those who lived there. This was that opportunity. We were picked up by her husband at the port and with great conversation we drove to their home. This made our day so much easier. She shared with us a very special recipe passed down from her Mom and showed us how to make the sauce, cook the pasta and prepare the dish. With aprons donned and a glass of Prosecco, we learned about her love of cooking, how simple real Italian dishes can be, yet how full of depth and flavor. My husband has a dairy allergy, so she was beautifully prepared for him so he didn't miss out on anything. As the dish was baking, we had wonderful conversation together and loved learning about their life in Sicily. We sat down to a beautiful and delicious meal, and she made the most amazing Italian cookies and cannolis. Usually, they are way to sweet. But hers were perfect and creamy while the cookies were just a little soft with an amazing flavor. Now that we are home, I can't wait to make the dish she taught us and try my hand at her deserts. She and her husband truly made our brief visit to Sicily memorable and we wish them all the best and many blessings. They are very beautiful people and you will not be disappointed!
- Wonderful experience cooking with Rossella. She taught us to make pasta and a wonderful tomato sauce. It was such an authentic experience!
- In the crowded town of Messina we were welcomed in Rossella‘s quiet, beautiful home. It was perfectly organized and the communication with her husband Giuseppe via phone worked without problems. Also during the event we learned a lot about Sicily and of course the art of preparing Arancini. Rossella showed us how to prepare them and now we are pretty sure, we will be able to repeat the process at home, also thanks to her videos and further recommedations for ingredients and kitchen utensils. Thank you so much for the unique experience!
