We offer all-inclusive hands-on Italian and Mediterranean cookery courses given in two luxurious villas in Tuscany. You stay in either Torre del Tartufo or Casa Ombuto and have the courses in kitchens specially designed for this purpose on location. In a very informal atmosphere you will meet other participants from all around the world and have fun cooking and dining together. Both villas have been renovated with an environmentally friendly approach. Heating is through solar energy, the water is from our own well and we only burn wood from trees cut from our own woods. (We have more than 115 acres). Trees are only cut to keep the woods clean and we are proud to protect the nature and environment around us. We grow our own produce and use organic products as much as possible.Fruit, Jams, honey and truffles also come from our own estate. |

| Learn to make complete 4 course Italian dinners covering
all the basic Italian cooking techniques. You will make a wide range
of Anti pasta's including Crostini's, Bruschetta and Torte Verdura to
mention but a few. |
Learn to make dishes from four of the most popular cuisines
in Europe and North Africa. In one week you will make an elaborate Italian
dinner, a light Spanish lunch, an exotic Moroccan dinner, a traditional
French Provencale supper, and on top of that learn to make various breads
and pastries - all in one week! You will learn to make risotto, pasta's,
Foccacia, Tapenade, Ratatouille, Gaspacho, Tortilla, Tagine of chicken,
spicy couscous and much much more. Menus are innovative, healthy and delicious. The Italian Mediterranean cookery course is given by International chef Laura Giusti. This course is more intensive than our Italian cookery courses as it also includes two extra morning sessions - one specialising in Breads Pastries and the other is a light Spanish Lunch. |
All our chefs believe that the only way
to learn to cook is to do it yourself. While they will demonstrate the
techniques, be prepared to roll up your sleeves and put what you have
seen into practice. The lessons are informal and the chefs are flexible
and willing to add those special dishes you always wanted to learn to
make. |
