A hands on cooking course by "La Bottega del 30"

The school consists of a spacious modern kitchen well equipped with ten actual work areas and stove tops. Here the students learn by doing the basic cooking techniques. Next to the modern kitchen, another room hosts a wood-burning oven for baking bread and a fireplace where the students have the rare opportunity to immerse themselves in a true Tuscan way of cooking.

Every students has his individual cooking station - a stovetop and a cutting board with all the necessary utensils for the preparation of the recipes.

Each class ends with lunch, allowing the students to savour the food prepared during the lesson, sipping the wines selected by Mr. Franco Camelia, in a kind of "trip" from Piedmont to Sicily to discover almost unknown wines that are like a niche in the best Italian wine production.

Wine cellar, library and videoteca are at students' disposal. Courses are run from Monday through Friday focusing on the successive stages of a meal Classes are limited to 10 students.
