Cookery demonstrations
Our Chef explains the ingredients, demonstrates the method, and presents and serves the dish with advice about the right accompaniment. Demonstrations are informal, friendly and students are encouraged to take part in the preparation of the dishes. Each session includes details of the recipe and a tasting.
Course books
In our course books we give extensive notes on regional cookery and specialities, plus notes on local produce such as cheeses and wines. A glossary of culinary terms and a list of useful vocabulary in French, Italian or Spanish is also included with notes on cooking and eating traditions in the different countries. Finally a number of mouth-watering recipes are included.
Italian Languauge
The value of these courses is not just in the food technology field. The foreign
language element in both the cookery demonstrations (although we do provide an interpreter) and the programme of food
related visits is extremely beneficial to all students learning Italian.
Food for Thought Study Course in Italy & Greece
Our Italian Food for Thought Course is based in Lido di Jesolo and features the famous culinary traditions of Venezia. Please see our resort page for hotel and excursion information.
As well, due to popular demand we have introduced a brand new cookery course to Greece. 3 demonstrations based on traditional Greek dishes and cultural visits to Delphi, Cape Sounion and Aegina Island ensure that this will be a fantastic, educational tour for both would-be cooks and historians alike. Please contact us for a quotation.
