With
Tasting Places you can discover the joys of cooking, using the finest
local ingredients and learning the secrets of local dishes in a unique
cooking holiday.
Locations,
selected for their wonderful character and stunning surroundings, provide
the perfect backdrop to relaxed and friendly classes hosted by some
of the most innovative and exciting chefs in the world.
Wherever
you choose you can expect an informal yet intensive exploration of regional
cooking.
15
years of excellence
We offer a series
of week-long cooking holidays in locations throughout Europe and the
Far East. Designed for people who love and appreciate fine food and
wine, the weeks are relaxed and informal. Through hands-on instruction,
trips, tours and tastings, we will inspire you and provide you with
the skills and knowledge to cook creatively when you return home.
We have carefully
selected each location for its character and individuality, to make
you feel at home and gain a genuine feel for the region as an invited
guest and not as a tourist.
We believe
that food is one of the joys of life. Our management style
is very personal, and our attention to detail ensures that the courses
are informative yet relaxed for all those participating. One feature
on which you can depend is the long leisurely lunches and dinners, sampling
delicious food and tasting a variety of excellent wines.
Guests will receive
a comprehensive set of all the recipes from their course. We have access
to wonderful and lesser known locations which have given us the opportunity
to expand our portfolio to organising specialist, tailor made groups
and workshops.
We are
delighted to be celebrating our 12th anniversary of running successful
cookery holidays internationally. We have received much recognition
in the press and many accolades for our holidays and personal service.
We would like to thank all our guests who have supported us over the
12 years, particularly the many friends who keep coming back.
