    Sicily has been a land that has had in past centuries many dominations that have left their flavors in our cuisine..one of them is sweet and sour! I am going to let you taste some dishes where sweet and sour is the protagonist! We will start with eggplant caponata. Then I will prepare pasta alla norma, fried sardines with sweet and sour onion, and to finish a very sweet orange jelly.

    After two weeks in Sicily, we can so warmly report that our even of pasta-making class and 4-course dining with Francesca was a top high-light. We were welcomed into her beautiful kitchen in Bagheria with open-arms and deep conversation about food and culture. From the pasta-making to the perfect antipasti, first and second courses, topped off with local fruit and sorbeti, it was a magical evening we won’t forget. We are encouraging all our Canadian friends to book an evening with Francesca to make their Sicilian experience feel bespoke. Grazie, Francesca. 5/5 rating! D&A from Toronto.

    Francesca, thank you for an unforgettable experience. Thank you for opening up your home to us. We had a great time cooking ravioli, fettuccine pasta, and tiramisu. We had many laughs, and great conversation. Thank you Francesca!!

    Bellissima esperienza. Ho avuto la possibilita di imparare a fare la pasta fresca e un ottimo tiramisu. Francesca è molto brava e attena a seguirti in tutti i passi della preparazione. Abbiamo poi mangiato insieme quello che ho prepaparto ed era squisito

    What an amazing time. Our host was warm, friendly and knowledgeable. Had a great time cooking past, learning new techniques and making the perfect tiramisu. No better way to spend a morning/early afternoon!

    Cesarina from 2021Location: Palermo    Languages: Italian and English
    Francesca lives in Bagheria, the 'city of villas', a land kissed by the sun and the sea breeze. Our Cesarina brings Sicilian recipes to the table, rich in contrasts, where sweet is combined with salty, sweet and sour is used a lot and dried fruit is perfect on meat, fish and vegetables. "All this is the result of the cultures that have passed through our land. My cuisine is linked to the traditions of both my area and my family. I only use local products and I hope to be able to pass on to my guests all the passion and love that I put when I cook."
