Hi from Rosa Maria!

In Sicily, particularly in Palermo, there is one singular regional cuisine: pasta, olive oil, vegetables and oily fish varieties, are the four cardinal staples. The dishes prepared by Rosa Maria reflect this tradition, revised with imagination and the desire to experiment, in keeping with the ancient recipes.Our Cesarina offers dishes inextricably linked to products and raw materials of the island; Rosa Maria welcomes us in Palermo but invites us to discover the aromas and flavors of Favignana, of Ustica and of San Vito Lo Capo.

We had a lovely time cooking with Rosa Maria and eating dinner with her family. We were just 3 and cooked in her kitchen. We made Tiramisu and 2 types of pasta by hand. One small suggestion: while we made the pasta's and the pesto, there were other elements added to the final dishes and we weren't really involved in that. It would have been nice to be part of how it all came together. The meal itself was one of the best we had on our 2 week Italian vacation! We plan to make Pasta alla Norma this weekend at home!

We had an excellent cooking class with Rosa Maria Ingram at her home. After visiting the market, we helped cook a wonderful lunch including caponata, homemade cavatelli pasta with eggplant and zucchini, and a dark chocolate cake with ricotta cream. We learned some great tips, received the recipes and ate a delicious lunch. Rosa Maria was a great teacher and cook and even changed the menu to a chocolate dessert to accommodate our tastes. We highly recommend Rosa Maria Ingrao in Palermo, Sicily.
