Personal Growth - Cook Italy

Cook Italy

Italy Cooking Schools

Enjoy hands-on cooking of authentic Italian meals in very small groups. Beautiful locations in Bologna, Tuscany & Tuscan Romagna countryside and beyond. Bologna custom market-to-table classes and 3 night gourmet breaks YEAR ROUND...

A Cook Italy 3 or 6 nights class in the countryside - just like the day classes in Bologna which are so convenient for those staying in Florence and Milan - is above all enjoyable. Serious about food and cooking but very relaxed in spirit. It is about enjoying Italy and Italian food in convivial company, a very Italian approach! On a Cook Italy week, you will have 5 hands-on cooking classes preparing three course meals using authentic regional recipes. In choosing the meals, I like to showcase the richly varied range of Italian regional cuisine and to give you the history and background to a dish, not just the recipe and cooking tips. You join in according to your mood, cooking a lot everyday or sometimes just watching, chatting, sipping wine, helping set the table or tidying up.I keep the groups very small, usually 2 - 6, never more than 8. That way you really get to do hands-on cooking and get individual attention too. The techniques are straight forward as is usual with Italian home cooking. It avoids fussiness, aiming instead to let the food speak for itself - to bring out the flavours of the food, not to impose flavours from the outside. On some weeks there is a food related tour to the producers, who are people who I have chosen for their skill, passion and dedication to their art, whether cheese, olive oil, prosciutto or wine making. The warmth of the hospitality is the other basis for my selection - it is not unusual for the olive oil or wine maker to join us for lunch or invite us to a special food and wine event, or to personally ring a restaurant to make a booking on our behalf and ensure we get the best treatment. And there is one free day for you to fill as you please, to accommodate the varied interests of the typically independent Cook Italy guest!

Burgundy On A Plate-Wine & Gastronomy in Burgundy

France Wine Tasting

Exclusive wine & gastronomy tours in the Heart of Burgundy. Experience the real Burgundy off the tourist route with private tastings in small family owned cellars, meeting the locals & enjoying the best wine & local cuisine that Burgundy has to offer...

Burgundy on a Plate offers wine tasting and gastronomy tours from one day to one week - it's up to you!
As an example, this is the itinerary for our 5 night, six day Heart of Burgundy tour. Apart from the tour described below, we offer a range of one day tours from 185 euros which you can view on our Burgundy on a Plate website on the one day tour page.

Heart of Burgundy Tour

Day 1 - Arrival day will include an introduction to wine tasting in Burgundy before a great first night dinner in an exceptional location. Day 2 takes us off to the medieval village of Flavigny sur Ozeraine where ‘Chocolat’ was filmed. We taste local bonbons and some wines from the Auxerrois. Lunch is in a Ferme Auberge run by a group of farmers’ wives using local produce. Burn off some calories with a walk around Flavigny’s ramparts. The stunning village and 12C castle in Chateauneuf en Auxois is on the menu for the afternoon. We return home via the picturesque Ouche Valley running alongside the Burgundy canal.

Day 3 – Your first tasting of the red wines of the Cotes de Nuits is in Nuits St Georges in a small family owned domaine. Lunch today is in Hautes Cotes de Nuits where hams are baked over the fire. A drive back through the vineyards takes us to meet our chef in his Beaune restaurant for a really fun, interactive cooking class. We return to his restaurant for a delicious meal that we might have helped to prepare!

Day 4 - Today it’s the turn of the Cote de Beaune. You will taste at a small family cellar in Meursault before going on to the renowned village of Puligny Montrachet. Here you will visit the cellar and vineyards of a well known winegrower. This is followed by a leisurely, informal tasting lunch in their restaurant. Take a break from tasting on a spectacular drive up into Hautes Cotes de Beaune where you will be entirely surrounded by vineyards. If time permits, you have a choice for our last event of the day – a further wine tasting or a visit to a pottery in one of the villages.

Day 5 – Market Day in Beaune. Meander around Beaune’s wonderful market, full of colourful vegetables and fruits, delicious cheeses, olives and pates. There will be a visit to the mustard museum for those interested. After lunch we go cheese tasting in a farm in the hills and a visit to the red fruits farm where berries are transformed by hand into a wealth of delicious products. The last night dinner is at a Michelin starred restaurant in wonderful surroundings. Day 6. Departure day and we take you back to Dijon station during the morning to fit in with your personal travel arrangements.
