A Hidden Place in the Heart of Taormina

Hidden behind ancient stone walls in the historic center of Taormina, Secret Garden By Cooking Class Taormina is much more than a cooking class—it is your Private and Exclusive experience custom-designed for your needs. A lush garden scented with orange blossoms and lemons, bougainvillea climbing the walls, aromas that taste of family, an ancient well that speaks of traditions, themed lighting, and an intimate, delicate atmosphere. A place that most visitors will never have the good fortune to see. We invite you inside a traditional Sicilian home where Sunday family lunches were once spent, kissed by the Sicilian sun and an authentic, exclusive atmosphere.

Step into a hidden gem where culinary dreams come alive. Our private classes promise not just learning, but unforgettable experiences in an exclusive setting.

Culinary Excellence

Cook Like a Sicilian

This is not a demonstration; it is an inclusive, hands-on experience, working side-by-side with our Chef in what used to be his grandparents’ home and the stage for endless childhood memories. You will put on our apron and head to the Taormina Local Market in search of seasonal ingredients, fresh fish from Our Sea, and the scents and aromas of our volcano.

Every recipe has a story. Every dish is a memory. Our experience is a journey!

Our Chef will teach you traditional Sicilian dishes and show you why Sicilians cook with Love for the Land, Generosity, Slowness, and always Altruism toward others. Because for us Sicilians, cooking is always the primordial expression of serving others!
