Cooking Class in Taormina With Chef Massimo
About
From the bustling markets of Taormina to the intimate kitchen at Vico Zecca, Chef Massimo invites guests on a 5½‑hour culinary journey that blends tradition, technique and local flavor. The experience begins with a guided tour of the city’s market stalls, where participants learn how to pick the freshest ingredients—fresheggs, tomatoes, local cheeses, and prized fish. Back in the studio, Massimo demonstrates classic Sicilian dishes such as caponata, stuffed zucchini blossoms, homemade pasta, and braised ‘bronzino’. The session concludes with a shared feast of the creations, complete with homemade recipe cards for visitors to take home. Whether you’re a seasoned foodie or a curious traveler, this class offers an authentic immersion into Sicilian gastronomy, a warm social setting, and a unique souvenir of Tuscan smiles.
