“There is no sincerer love than the love of food.”
George Bernard Shaw
If you want to understand more about a country, learn how to cook its food. Cooking holidays are a great way to explore a country and learn more about it, while improving your culinary repertoire. Learn how to make fresh pasta from scratch, taste the local wines and immerse yourself in the local culture.
Taking a cookery course abroad is a great way to learn new culinary skills AND learn about the local culture at the same time, like our cookery course in Barga, Tuscany. Find out more about the course and Rita, the chef who runs it, as well as Barga’s Scottish connection in our interview with Rita.
