Creative Cooking Holiday in Italy
Creative holidays can suggest many different things, but, the very essence of our creative holidays is an original and exciting experience shared with a group of compatible people. Our creative cooking holiday is an opportunity to learn the creative art of traditional Italian cooking in the castle of an old noble estate, set in a wonderful and peaceful location in the hills at the borders of Tuscany, Latvia and Umbria regions some 120 km north of Rome and 150 km south of Florence.
Our creative holidays at the Santa Cristina Castle will give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the traditional culture and lifestyle and learn to prepare real Italian dishes in a pleasant and informal environment.
The creative cookery course at Santa Cristina Castle is a ‘real hands-on programme teaching the basics of traditional Italian cooking and techniques to make an impressive four course meal, from the home-made pasta to traditional desserts and everything in between.
All the ingredients you will use are bought each morning from local farm and markets;you will be working with fruit and vegetables in season. During your creative cookery course at the Castle you will learn about the ingredients and the traditions around the dishes as well as food presentation and by the help of our sommelier you will find the wines that have the right fragrance Style and colour for our dishes.
