Sicilian Cooking Class and Market Tour in Taormina

At 10:00 am or 18:30 appointment with chef at Porta Messina. The tour will begin at the Taormina market (no public market on Sunday) with the explanation of the displayed products and how they can be handled. After the explanation, we buy the ingredients that we need for the lesson. After reaching the restaurant, the participants will find an already prepared table with all the tools on and they will be equipped with an apron. We will start making home-made pasta with a very traditional method. After the fresh pasta we proceed to make “home-made Caponata” with the vegetables that we bought at the market. During the lesson we will prepare many other dishes of the Sicilian culinary tradition such as fresh sardines, zucchini flowers and more... Once finished the course, all participants will sit at a table for tasting the prepared dishes and different Sicilian wines and liquors. Mineral water and coffee included, of course! To all guests will be released a nice recipe in English and a certificate of participation from the Chef. Same cooking class it's possible at 6:30pm but the market is organized by the on-site restaurant as on Sundays at both 10am and 6.30pm
