A cooking school vacation is the ideal way to explore and improve your culinary skills, and one that will provide you with an enduring reminder of your vacation – gastronomic delights that you can prepare at home for your family and friends.
The interest in cooking and exploring world cuisines has led to the development of cooking school vacation packages that provide a wide choice of cuisine, experience levels, and length of stay from a weekend to an entire summer. From experiencing Italian cuisine with a cooking in Tuscany vacation, or having Italy brought closer to home with a first class kitchen holiday at an Italian school in the Napa Valley, you will be spoiled for choice. If you are interested in Italian food, take a vacation and explore the food markets of Rome, Florence, or Bologna, while you sample the regional delights and enjoy a cooking Tuscany vacation followed by Sicily or Umbria. It is not only Italy and Italian schools that provide cooking school vacation packages; try French, Spanish, Moroccan, or Japanese. In fact, almost any cuisine you can think of will have a choice of cooking school vacation providers.
Your Internet search engine is probably the best source of information on what is being offered; simply place “cooking school vacation,” followed by the name of the cuisine you are interested in to find schools. Casa Lana is typical of what is available (www.gourmetretreat.com). This is a school in the Napa Valley of California that provides a culinary vacation experience with resident and guest chef instructors from around the world and courses that last a few hours to five days, and class sizes limited to no more than eight per chef instructor. For the serious gastronome, try Le Cordon Bleu (www.cordonbleu.edu) with schools around the world in America, Europe, and Asia. They provide the very best in culinary training and experience for the non-professional, whether it is with French, Italian, Mediterranean, Californian, Spanish, Japanese, or Chinese cuisine.
A cooking vacation holiday, wherever you decide to take it, will be a rewarding, relaxing, and exciting experience that will leave you with a constant reminder of your holiday. Just think of the number of times you will be able to impress and bring to your family and friends the culinary skills you will acquire on a cooking vacation no matter where you decide to vacation. Not only is this a vacation that is a present for yourself, it is also one you can give to those who will enjoy your cooking for years to come.
