Ciao da Francesca Maria!

Francesca vive a Bagheria, la 'città delle ville', una terra baciata dal sole e dalla brezza del mare. La nostra Cesarina porta in tavola le ricette siciliane, ricche di contrasti, dove il dolce è abbinato al salato, si usa molto l'agrodolce e la frutta secca è perfetta sulla carne, il pesce e verdure. "Tutto questo è il frutto delle culture che sono passate nella nostra terra. La mia cucina è legata alle tradizioni sia della mia zona, che della mia famiglia. Utilizzo solo prodotti del territorio e spero di poter trasmettere ai miei ospiti tutta la passione e l'amore che metto quando cucino."

"Only with my hands can I understand the dough", Francesca said. This statement of her demonstrates how much passion Francesca puts into cooking and entertaining her guests. We felt very welcome when we arrived for our food experience at her home in Bagheria. There we enjoyed a delicate salad, delicious eggplant rolls, wonderful fresh pasta having been produced with a "chitarra", and filled meat skewers one after the other, while learning a wealth of interesting facts about life in Sicily. The fact that we also were able to share personal stories about our lives in Bagheria and Munich contributed to the feeling of well-being. We're still dreaming about the delicious mandarin jelly dessert today, the day after; we'll also never forget the special atmosphere of the kitchen, Francesca's kingdom. To be highly recommended!

Today, 8 June, we took a cooking class with Francesca in Sicily. We learned the techniques to make 3 dishes: Ravioli with Eggplant, Pasta w/ Sausage and Zucchini and for desert - Tiramisu. We learned how to pick the appropriate vegetables, understand the types of flours, seasoning, and oils and preference of one over another. We had to prepare our ingredients, proper cutting and cooking technique. And the tools used for each dish and how to use them. We made the pasta from scratch: Flour (00), Egg, and experienced using a Pasta Machine. We experienced it all. We cooked each portion of the meal, learned what to look for and when it was ready to add the next ingredient. We cumulated this with 2 favorable and tasty meals; and finally desert. Finally, I never used or thought I'd like Basil but Francesca showed me how to prepare, cook, and appreciate its fine flavor. So, when in Sicily, and if you have time, I highly recommend a side trip to Bagheria and a cooking class with Francesca.

Ciao Francesca: my brother and I truly enjoyed our 3 hours with you. I thought 3 hours was going to be a long time, but learning and cooking with you, the time flew by. Bill and I discussed how we can't wait to try different fillers for our ravioli and my brother is planning small cups of tiramisu, just like his pana cotta. You really have us thinking 😃 Your hospitality was so warm and friendly. Thank you for opening your kitchen to us. Grazie, Kathi and Bill

Francesca was extremely attentive and friendly, which immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable. We weren't able to get a taxi on the day to the area, so she kindly offered to pick us up and drop us off. Once we were in the kitchen, she made a full spread of Sicilian dishes which were all full of flavour and joy. She made bruscietta, sausages, meatballs, alla norma pasta, and cannoli. As we ate, we spoke about her life, her upbringing, and her Sicilian culture and roots. As greek cypriots, this was incredible to learn about another culture, but also to see how many of our traditions and practises are similar to hers. She made us feel very welcome and we felt honoured to have shared this evening with her. Thank you for everything, Francesca! Nick and Athena
