Cooking classes in the Chianti region of Tuscany.Rather than just taking home from your next trip tales of that fantastic tagliatelle alla bolognese, why not return with the skills to recreate all those great Italian meals in your own kitchen?
Cooking schools and cooking lessons—whether for an afternoon or for a full week, with local chefs or celebrity cookbook authors (a few of the best of which are listed to the right)—are becoming all the rage, and it's not hard to see why.
You get the kind of genuine cultural insight no number of museums and monuments could ever give, you can engage locals on a subject about which they are truly passionate, and you will gain a new skill (or at least new recipes to add to your repertoire).
And, of course, you get to eat all your mistakes (mmmm...mistakes).
Frankly, most people aren't looking for a week-long cooking class or a tour that focuses exclusively on the culinary. They just want a day in an Italian kitchen learning to make pasta or gelato, or a morning walk through the local market with a chatty Italian chef.
That's what most of the links below will get you: one-day (or half-day) culinary experiences. If you're looking for a longer culinary tour or multi-day cooking course, check out the set of links above to the right.
