Cooking Schools in Italy Cooking schools in Italy are the perfect way of learning to cook great food while at the same time discovering and enjoying the regional culture and cuisine. We run two Cooking schools in Italy both from the "Cantina" of the beautiful Casa Ombuto or the magnificent Torre del Tartufo, both recently restored large Tuscan villas set in the wonderfully tranquil hills of the Casentino valley some 50km south of Florence. Our cooking schools in Italy have recently been rated by The Observer newspaper as one of the "Top ten cookery schools in Europe".
A week at one of our cooking schools in the luxurious Casa Ombuto or Torre del Tartufo will allow you to immerse yourself in the culture and lifestyle of Tuscany and learn to cook real Italian dishes in a relaxed and friendly environment. Our cooking schools in Italy are taught by Paola Baccetti in Casa Ombuto and Franco Palandra in Torre del Tartufo, both successful chefs willing to pass on their passion for Traditional Tuscan cuisine.  The ingredients you will use either come from one of our estates or are bought each morning from local markets and so you will be working with fresh fruit and vegetables in season. Throughout your time at our cooking schools in Italy you will learn about the ingredients and the traditions around the dishes as well as food presentation and wine choice. You might also be interested in an Italian Mediterranean Cookery Course that we teach at our cooking schools in Italy. This course focuses on dishes from around the Mediterranean with an emphasis on great taste. So not only Italian cuisine, but great dishes also from France, Spain and Morocco. The cooking schools in Italy run from Saturday to Saturday at Casa Ombuto and Sunday to Sunday at Torre del Tartufo and include 4 elaborate hands-on cooking sessions with enough time to relax and enjoy the surroundings. A one-day excursion will be organized to visit a vineyard for wine tasting, as well as to a local producer of olive oil and time for shopping. It is also possible to bring along a non-participating partner to one of our cooking schools in Italy, and they can spend their days sightseeing, playing golf, or enjoying the heated pool before rejoining the party for the evening meals. If you are looking for cooking schools in Italy that will inspire you to learn to cook wonderful authentic Italian cuisine then look no further than Casa Ombuto or Torre del Tartufo.
