Great food, led by a fantastic chef and guide. He made the whole day fun and we had loads of food, wine, drinks all day - nothing was too much bother. It felt like we really got value for money and learned a lot. It was fun to be with a group of other learners also. I booked this as a surprise for my partners 30th and it felt very special activity to do for a n occasion. Would highly recommend!

From start to finish, this was incredible fun. All ages all abilities all appetites. This cookery course really catered to the customer and with a big heart. We were amazed at how much we learnt and how full we were when we ate what we had made (and it’s plentiful), plenty to drink and endless laughs. This is something you don’t want to miss. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and would definitely do this again. Our Chef Paolo you are the best, Thank you for a great day. Xx

Luca was a great teacher. Helped me make a great pizza and an average pasta, which is good for me. Highly recommend. Fun experience.

This was our favorite part of our trip to Taormina! The market tour was educational and exciting, as we saw where all of our fresh food was coming from. We ended up getting a private lesson, which was incredibly engaging, and the final dishes were incredible. All the restaurant staff were so kind and funny, making the experience that much better. We highly recommend it!

We took this on our first full day, so we were a bit jet lagged, but this kept our attention from start to finish. I was impressed with how friendly the chef and all the kitchen staff were. My hubby isn't a cook but still had a grand time! Cooking is a passion of mine, and I enjoyed learning professional tips and the stories behind each dish. We ate and drank so much... my advice is to take this class, but don't eat breakfast or plan any dinner because you will eat more than your fill.

I was fortunate to have a personal cooking experience with Paulo. This is a not to miss experience. I was exposed to the history of Sicilian cooking, watching and having a hands on experience. It was terrific.

Fantastic cooking class and meal! I had a great experience learning to make Sicilian -style pasta alla Norma, eggplant Parmesan, salt baked fish, sardine fritters fried in tomato sauce, swordfish kebabs, and sardines baked in lemon leaves with master pastry chef Maurizio. He also served great antipasto with homemade bread, and cannoli stuffed with pastry cream. I enjoyed the cooking lesson, excellent meal, atmosphere, and peek into the organized workings of a busy Italian restaurant kitchen during dinner. We received a copy of the recipes and a souvenir apron. Thank you, Maurizio!

Best part of our Sicilian vacation! Thank you Chef Mimmo for making our experience outstanding! We met at the arch if you are concerned about finding the location Google map Don Diego gelato it’s right next to the arch. Chef met my husband and I and took us to the market to buy the freshest of ingredients. The market is through an alley way most people would miss but it was a treat, we felt like locals and learned about the produce specific to Sicily in November. Then a Mercedes van picked us up and whisked us to Chefs gorgeous restaurant on the water. There we met one other couple and began out cooking experience. Everything was super clean and the staff washed and placed items in dishes so we could prepare everything. We made pesto pasta with tomatoes and almonds and pasta Norma. Both dishes are specific to Sicily and both were phenomenal. We actually made the pasta from scratch kneading dough while enjoying an amazing seaside view, it was like being in a movie! We learned how to create 7 types of pasta, one was easier than the next and Chef showed us the items needed to prepare this pasta are available on Amazon! Next, we made swordfish stuffed and rolled on a bed of the freshest tomatoes and a veggie to complement the fish that included tomato sauce, veggies, eggplant raisins and capers. Both were delish! While waiting for the sauce to cook chef prepared an outstanding charcuterie tray for us with yummy bread and yes lots of white wine! We got to enjoy the other two participants and the amazing seaside view! This is the best deal on Trip Advisor, don’t hesitate book today! We travel extensively and this was our favorite activity yet! Thank you Chef! Come visit us in Ca we would love to cook for you make sure you come with a sense of humor 😂
