Study Abroad in Italy
Culinary department


Our courses have a thematic flair which includes special seasonal recipes as well as traditional Italian and Tuscan cookery.  Encounter the culinary arts like never before by creating poultry dishes and delectable tarts and cakes in the winter, fresh vegetable and meat dishes in the spring, tasty fish dishes in the summer and sample truffles, cabbage, chestnut and mushroom dishes in the fall. Plus, uncover the art of  creating traditional and Medieval cuisine by studying some truly age old recipes dating back to the Middle Ages!  Finally if you prefer to develop your skills in modern cookery, “Pane, Pizza, Pasta Week” will also put a smile on your face. Courses can be taken from one week or to one month, if you are a professional or real enthusiast. Considering the different levels of difficulties, courses are taught in Italian and English. Lessons begin with the study of ingredients, a brief description of the recipes and then one learns the true art of Italian cookery by participating in an elaborate step by step process of the four / five course meal you are about to create! The antipasto, primo, secondo, contorno and dolce are all significant parts of the art of fine and healthy dining.  And for the time you’ve been anticipating the most: lunch on the feast you have created!
