Overview

This experience is not just a cooking lesson: it is an invitation to open the door of a real Sicilian house and experience the island through its most authentic traditions.

What makes it unique is the intimate and reserved atmosphere: no large groups or impersonal environments, but a family welcome where each guest is the protagonist. Every dish you prepare will never be like a catering dish: it will bring with it stories, memories and little secrets kept DA generations, recipes that are rarely shared outside the family.

And for those who want an even more exclusive experience, there is the possibility to customize the menu with other typical dishes, such as pizza, arancini, risotto or Sicilian fish, or to organize the cooking class directly in your Villa or Private Accommodation. These special options come with a small surcharge, but turn the lesson into a truly tailored and unforgettable moment.
A unique experience, DA remember.

What To Expect

Learn to cook authentic Sicilian specialties in a real family home, near Taormina.
Live a unique and private experience, cooking traditional dishes with fresh and genuine ingredients, just like you do on holidays in Sicily. You will discover the secrets of eggplant parmesan or fresh pasta tagliatelle with fresh tomato and basil and tiramisu, following recipes handed down from generation to generation.

Each dish contains the scents and flavors of Sicily: the oil of the earth, the vegetables of our gardens, the taste of fresh cheese, the scent of citrus fruits and local spices. It will be a real pleasure to taste together the delicacies prepared, accompanying them with excellent Etna wine and tasting the tiramisu that we will prepare together with an authentic Sicilian limoncello.

You can take home not only the flavors, but also the ability to replicate these recipes with friends and family, to share a piece of Sicily with those you love.

This is not a simple cooking lesson, but a journey into the flavors, scents and emotions of the real Sicily, an authentic, fun and delicious experience, which will remain with you forever.
