Would you like to learn the secrets of home-made pasta ? Or to learn how to choose the right wine for your meals ? We recommend you to try to dive into the magic world of Tuscan cuisine, even for only an afternoon or for a whole week. This is how you will taste excellent wine and food as well as learning how to cook them in order to offer them to your family and friends once you come back home from your holiday in Tuscany!
Enjoy a private lesson or a group course: while spending your holidays in Tuscany, you will learn how to prepare some of the delicious typical dishes of this lovely region such as pici, home-made pasta, tiramisu or other tasty and succulent dishes prepared by yourself.
Italian cuisine is famous all over the world : pizza and pasta have become common dishes in many countries. But Italian cuisine is much more than this and it changes from region to region.
Cooking classes give you the chance to know Tuscan dishes by practicing with an experienced chef who will teach you some of his culinary secrets.
A stay at the Hotel San Michele and Relais Borgo San Pietro is the perfect occasion to take part in the courses of the cooking school which is located in the centre of Cortona.
This is a nice way to know and taste the fresh ingredients of the season which are typical of Tuscan cuisine. By attending classes you will learn how to prepare typical recipes like “pici”, “ribollita”, “panzanella”, “tozzetti”, “ragout” etc. and to know local wines (Chianti, Montepulciano, Sagrantino, Brunello, Vino Nobile, etc.). And we have lunch or dinner all together at last! |
