Cooking Italy Vacation

 
 

If someone asked you to think about a vacation, you would no doubt think of lying on a beach somewhere and soaking up the sun. the vat majority of people do not think about going on holiday to learn how to cook, yet these kind of holidays are becoming more and more popular. If you are looking to do something different this year, you should consider a cooking vacation. There are a number of destinations throughout Italy where this is a real possibility and you could even come home with a passion for cooking the Italian way!!

If this kind of holiday interests you and sets your taste buds off, a great place to try is a very small family-run bed and breakfast which is called La Locanda del Prete. It is located amidst the stunning scenery of the Monte Amiata hills in Arcidosso, Tuscany. Arcidosso can be found just outside a small medieval village which is only two hours, 30 minutes away from Rome. The small bed and breakfast has welcomed guests from all around the world and is quickly becoming a popular place to stay. The owner is called Carlo Innocenti, who is also the head chef and will teach you everything there is to know.  You will be able to have the ultimate Tuscan experience by staying here without all of the typical tourist trappings. You will actually be able to enjoy a typical Italian holiday and see what life is like for local people in Tuscany. Throughout the Years, Carlo has owned a number of Italian restaurants and has also spent a great deal of time teaching how to cook Tuscan dishes. Some of his students in the past have been chefs who have traveled from all around the world just to learn from him. You will learn traditional recipes in an authentic and traditional environment.

Carlo is accompanied by his son, Romeo, who is also a fantastic cook with extensive knowledge of seafood dishes as well as which food goes best with which wine. If you would like to visit the surrounding areas, Romeo is a great tour guide who can lead you to all sorts of hidden gems. His grasp of English is fantastic and he is very knowledgeable. He runs a wine and vacation tour which greatly compliments the cooking school.  You will be taken through Brunello wine country where you can enjoy some great bottles of wine over a lovely dinner. You are given time to tour the area and even revisit sights if you so wish.

The B&B is open from the middle of May and offer two separate packages: a week-long package or a three-night deal. The one week package is ideal for small groups of between 4 and 10 people. You get to stay with Carlo and his family for 6 nights and are provided with free transportation. If you would like to go but feel that you would miss the sea, they can even take you to an old seaside fishing village.

When you arrive, you will be provided with an apron and a recipe book. You will spend the mornings learning how to cook Tuscan style, which you eat for lunch, and the afternoons are taken up with sightseeing and relaxing. For more information, visit: www.lalocandadelprete.com .
