Imagine learning to cook the specialties of Campagnia ~ stuffed fresh zucchini blossoms, homemade pasta with a basil scented tomato, olive & caper sauce or a fresh seafood & lemon risotto ~ delizioso!
Lemon groves and gravpevines are everywhere clinging to the precarious cliffs. Have your lunch under a bougainvillea canopy while sipping the lovely wines of the region. It's all good!

Cooking Lessons in Taormina, Sicily
November 3 to 10, 2012
Uncover the exciting flavors of Sicily
Our guests will stay in splendid Taormina, a lovely jewel facing smoldering Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea of Homer and the Cyclops.We’ll dine on wonderful traditional Sicilian cuisine and come to understand why it is said “Without Sicily, Italy cannot be fully understood. It is here one finds the key to all things” J.W. Goethe We have selected a delightful hotel with private garden and panoramic views near the historic center.Breakfast is served each day “al fresco” on a terrace overlooking the sea.We’ll enjoy some of our meals at our specially selected family-run restaurant, with each menu carefully chosen to showcase the diverse cuisine of Sicily. This week includes 3 specially planned Cooking Lessons with visits to the local fish, meats and vegetable markets where we will select the freshest ingredients to cook that day.Also scheduled is a memorable Pastry Making Day – we’ll learn to make true Sicilian Cannoli! Each day is spent discovering and uncovering the mysteries of Sicily ~ from the ancient Greco-Roman amphitheatres and temples to the crystal clear blue Ionian Sea scattered with dramatic rock formations said to have been thrown at Ulysses as he fled from the fearsome Cyclops, to beautiful formal gardens of Florence Trevelyan an English aristocrat who made Taormina her home.

As many of you know, my husband Sam has taught art in Italy for 15 years, and at the same locations. As part of our cultural enrichment program, we will be sharing some meals and excursions with a small group of artists who are attending their own workshop. These occasions always include lively discussions and we believe this interaction contributes immensely to the enjoyment of our Italian Experience.
Shall we save some spaces for you and your travel companion?
