| Cooking classes for Children |
1 Day Cooking Studio
"Sapori della Cucina Povera del Chianti" |
|
Do you want to learn a different way of cooking this time? Do you want to go food shopping with "Gusto" casually learning some Italian too? Do you then want to cook, eat and drink together with your new found friends? Maybe you even want to go looking for some of the ingredients to the various dishes yourself in the surrounding woods and brush. If so, you have come to the right place! |
Our salad of wild herbs |
Together we will choose a simple, Tuscan farmers meal. We will then go shopping (if so wanted) or "looking" for the ingredients of our menu. This could mean a walk in the surrounding meadows and brush in search of wild green asparagus, field salads as well as herbs (in the spring, autum and winter time). We could also go on a "hunt" for wild mushrooms (in autum). You choose!
Then we will prepare, cook, taste, eat, drink and hopefully laugh a lot together.
We are offering you courses for professionals but also a friendly cooking session together with a few others (max. 8 people) like you may have at home. I - Ulrike Eder - am not claiming to be an expert by all means - but the judgement of many of my guests and friends as well as of your own taste buds (if you have already tasted my welcome dinner) speak for themselves and will hopefully convince you. |
