Bonjour de la part de Francesca !
La cuisine est un mariage parfait entre fantaisie et tradition. Les plats que je prépare avec amour depuis des années, devenus désormais des classiques de la famille, trouvent leur origine dans la riche cuisine sicilienne. Parmi mes préférés, il y a les anelletti al forno, les pâtes faites maison comme les maccheroni, et des plats uniques au goût incomparable comme le couscous, le sfincione, les calzoni, les arancine et les panelle.Sans oublier les desserts typiques qui apportent toute la douceur de la tradition à table : les cassatelle fourrées à la crème de pois chiches ou à la ricotta, les célèbres cannoli, les buccellati et le raffiné parfait aux amandes.J'aime proposer à mes hôtes une expérience authentique, en commençant par le sfincione et en terminant par un délicieux cannolo, le tout accompagné d'un bon verre de Marsala ou de Zibibbo, pour exalter les saveurs et célébrer l'âme de la Sicile.

- A Soul-Nourishing Cooking Experience in Cesarna — Food, Heart, and Healing We had the absolute honor of taking a cooking class with Francesca and her husband in Cesarna—and it was truly out of this world. From the moment we arrived, we were not just welcomed into their home, but into their hearts and souls. Their warmth, generosity, and kindness radiated through every gesture, every dish, and every smile. What they offer is far more than a cooking class—it’s an experience of connection, culture, and profound soul nourishment. We first started in their beautiful garden with a stunning table filled with fresh, seasonal aperitifs—fruits from their land, foraged herbs, beautifully crafted drinks, and baked goods still warm from the oven. This generous welcome instantly set the tone: abundant, joyful, and deeply intentional. The cooking itself was a spiritual experience. Under their patient and loving guidance, we made fresh pasta and Tiramisu from scratch. They made us feel completely seen, understood, and included—especially our 4-year-old daughter, who was embraced like one of their own. They played with her, cooked with her, and made her feel so loved that she did not want to leave. As we cooked, we felt something deeper: a reverence for food as a sacred act of love and nourishment. Their energy was calm, grounding, and full of joy—a reminder that food isn’t just about sustenance, but about connection, community, and care. The way they infused intention into every ingredient and every step of the process was deeply inspiring. It reminded us how healing food can be—how cooking with love, patience, and presence can touch places that words cannot. We prepared and shared three kinds of fresh pasta—each representing a different region (Bologna, Sicily, and Venice)—with incredible sauces like a rich, comforting ragu and a soul-warming Pasta alla Norma with perfectly fried eggplant. Everything was fresh, simple, and overflowing with flavor. We ended with a tiramisu that was delicate, creamy, and full of love. It was so delicious, we still can't stop thinking about it. This experience moved us on many levels. The kindness and care they offered created a ripple effect that stayed with us long after we left. It reminded us that food is not just about what’s on the plate—it’s about the energy behind it, the love we pour into it, and the people we share it with. This was one of the most meaningful and nourishing things we have ever done while traveling. If you are in Italy, do not miss this. Come hungry—for food, for warmth, for connection. They will fill you with all three.
