Italian Cooking Courses

I get a lot of requests from people asking me which is the best Italian cooking course to do or which is the best Italian cook book to buy.

So I set about sharing a handful of those I love; all these courses are run by genuine people. They share their love for food with a passion and the dishes that come out of their kitchen's will leave your mouth watering!

Particularly wonderful is Chef Francesco...

Tuscan Cooking Courses

Chef in Tuscany

We have a friend who is a chef trained in traditional Italian cooking, both in the "official" sense (he's had chef's training) and, more importantly, trained by his Mamma and Nonna.

Chef Francesco can offer you the most incredible cooking experience: either in his country cottage, tucked away in a beautiful corner of Tuscany, or else he is happy to cook for you in your residence, villa, or apartment in Tuscany. If you are interested, please contact me below.

Centro Culturale Conero

Italian Mamma cooking course

This is a fabulous place to learn to cook in the traditional Le Marche (Marchigiana) way.

The cooking courses taught by a typical Italian mamma are legendary. All the courses are very hands-on and not at all expensive.

A word of warning, though: you need to have a big appetite; this mamma expects you to eat everything afterward and accepts no excuses.

Mamma unfortunately doesn’t speak much English, but this really is not a problem as the courses are very easy to follow and she is so enthusiastic that you really do understand everything.

Her passion is catchy, too.

Visit the Centro Culturale di Conero site if you would like more info.
