Your experience

An authentic culinary journey awaits you in this unique experience!
We will begin with sfincione, a traditional Palermo appetizer, followed by the preparation of the typical pasta, busiate, with condiments that vary according to seasonality: Sicilian pesto or alla norma in the warmer seasons, and broccoli "arriminati" or sausage ragout during the winter. To end on a sweet note, we will immerse ourselves in the preparation of authentic tiramisu, following the recipe handed down in my family.
An unforgettable experience of Sicilian flavors that will take you to discover the true essence of Sicilian cuisine!

- We enjoyed our time, and appreciated being welcomed into Rosa’s home, and enjoyed meeting her family. Overall we had a positive experience, however it felt a bit rushed and lacked patient guidance.
- L’esperienza con Rosa Maria è stata a dir poco unica! Siamo stati accolti fin da subito da un caloroso sorriso, che ci ha accompagnati durante tutta la mattinata, partendo dalla visita del mercato, proseguendo con la preparazione dei piatti e concludendo con il pranzo. Dopo la visita iniziale, ci siamo dilettati a preparare un pranzo palermitano, guidati in modo impeccabile e delicato da Rosa Maria, che ci ha svelato tantissimi dettagli trucchi utili, in modo da poter ricreare i piatti anche a casa nostra. È stata una mattinata indimenticabile, non è mancato niente: dal buon cibo, al clima familiare, all’acqua Fiuggi, che ci è stata gentilmente offerta, dato l’agosto abbastanza caldo. Consigliamo davvero a tutti di mettere le mani in pasta insieme a Rosa Maria e di lasciarsi guidare alla scoperta dei sapori di questa magnifica terra!
- We loved it so much! We felt welcome in her house. She was very sweet and patient and the pasta we learned to make was delicious!
- We LOVED this cooking class with Rosa - she was very friendly, welcoming & knowledgeable. She is generous with her time, patient with questions & good company. We shared lunch with her family swapping stories which was lovely - it was also my birthday so I got candles & a happy birthday song to top it all off! Would definitely recommend to others. Grazie Mille Rosa!
- We really enjoyed the cooking class with Mrs. Rosa. She made us feel so welcome and was a great teacher!
