 COOKING
COURSES IN TUSCANY
Typical Tuscan Cooking
2009
Learn how to cook Italian in a
Tuscan farm house!
This
property is located in a nice countryside at the outskirts of Montecatini Terme,
one of Europe's prominent health centers. Inside, there is a professional kitchen equipped with
up-to-date appliances and a traditional brick-pizza oven. The chef-owner,
Giuseppe Mazzocchi, is also a member of the Italian
Chef's Federation, and he schedules cooking classes, pizza, pasta and
pastry making throughout the year, especially week-ends. Of course, for
the clients, he basically sets up tasty, tangy and delectable variations; olive
oil and meats from the valley's farmers.
The
former 16th century wheat-mill, then converted in an oil-mill, has been recently
restored to lodge 8 people in two Tuscan-styled furnished apartments.
Spend some relaxing days in the farm house or enjoy outdoor activities such
as fishing in a nearby lake and trekking through the surrounding hills; or visit nearby towns of Lucca, Montecatini or
Pisa.
 |
The
classes are held between 9:00am and 2:00pm. For the rest of the
afternoon the guests have the opportunity to visit an Olive Oil Mill with wine
tasting, or stop by the farmer's market. For dinner, the students can dine
at one of the nice restaurants that are located a short walking
distance away. |
