Experience Details

Learn to cook delicious Sicilian specialties in a warm and welcoming setting, just steps from the beach and the sea, guided by a professional chef. This experience will make your Sicilian holiday truly unforgettable, letting you savor the authentic flavors and aromas of the island.


Begin with a visit to a small local market in Taormina, where you’ll discover fresh, seasonal ingredients and immerse yourself in the vibrant local atmosphere. Then, prepare and enjoy traditional Sicilian dishes with your own hands.


Discover ingredients carefully combined to create dishes that are never repetitive and always full of surprises: from the taste of the sea and the mountains, to the sweetness of almonds and ricotta, to the rich flavors of Sicilian olive oil and fresh local produce. Every dish tells the story of the region’s vibrant culinary tradition.

What You’ll Experience

Join Chef Mimmo Siciliano for an authentic culinary experience in Taormina! Meet your chef and start your day with a visit to a small local market in Taormina, where you’ll discover fresh, seasonal ingredients surrounded by the colors and aromas of Sicily. Here, you’ll get to know the products you’ll use during the cooking class and immerse yourself in the true local atmosphere. Afterward, enjoy a transfer (included in the price) to “Ahoy Bistrò Siciliano” in Giardini Naxos, just 15 minutes from the meeting point, set in a stunning location overlooking the sea and the beautiful Bay of Naxos. During the experience, you’ll enjoy a tasting of local wines served with focaccia, Sicilian cured meats, and cheeses. Guided by the chef, you will prepare three traditional Sicilian dishes with your own hands: - One appetizer; - One fresh fish dish; - Six different types of fresh pasta, including the famous pasta alla Norma with eggplant and Pachino cherry tomatoes. Discover Sicily through its unique flavors—from the rich aroma of eggplants to the taste of fresh seafood, from capers from the Aeolian Islands to olives grown in fertile volcanic soil. After cooking, sit down and enjoy the meal you’ve prepared just steps away from the beach and the sea. To finish on a sweet note, savor small Sicilian cannoli served with a glass of limoncello. At the end of the experience, you’ll be transferred back to the meeting point.
