Our cooking class with Chef Trina in Taormina was an absolute highlight of our trip! From the moment we arrived, Trina’s warmth and passion for Sicilian cuisine were evident. She guided us through every step, making it easy to follow while sharing fascinating insights about the local ingredients and culinary traditions. The hands-on experience was incredible, and the dishes we created were simply delicious! The intimate setting, beautiful views, and Chef Trina's expertise made this experience unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to immerse themselves in authentic Sicilian cooking!

I highly recommend this cooking class. My friend and I did it and we loved it and we met another couple who we enjoyed the evening with as well. Chef Trina went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The food was the best I had my whole trip in Taormina.

Chef Trina brings you into her home, treats you like family, and gives you a taste of the real Taormina. I came to Italy to experience the people, the culture, and the food - all of which I got to see here. I would highly recommend for solo travelers as I made some friends too.
Extra points for her puppies who are well behaved and very cute!

My mom and I recently had the pleasure of attending Chef Trina's cooking class at her stunning mountain top villa, and I can confidently say it was one of the most delightful experiences of my life! From the moment we arrived we were greeted not only by Chef Trina’s warm and welcoming spirit but also by her sweet pups. Once we arrived it became clear that this experience was 100% worth the higher price tag. The meal we created together was nothing short of spectacular—each dish a testament to Trina’s expertise and flair. The flavors were clean and authentic, leaving us all in awe of our culinary creations. Note: the class was indeed 4.5 hours which sounds long. But truly time flew by, we were never sitting around getting antsy. We took a short walk as a group while our appetizer baked, to on top/behind her home where we got a 360° view of the ocean, Taormina and the mountains behind, breathtaking views to say the least.
