Oh yes, another announcement, but what an announcement!

Lucullian Delights and Un Tocco di Zenzero proudly presents: Cooking Classes in Chianti!

Sandra, who runs the successful Italian food blog Un Tocco di Zenzero and who is a well-known gastronomy teacher in Turin here in Italy, and I have decided to join forces and to start this adventure together and we hope that you will join us. The first, but hopefully not the last, cooking class will take place the weekend 16-18th of April here in Tuscany at Podere Patrignone, a wonderful place right in the middle of the Chianti countryside (you can see San Gimignano from the windows) where you can relax and dedicate yourself to some real Italian cooking. The emphasis will be on seasonal cooking so you will get a taste of springtime in Italy. We will live and cook in a small villa full of inspiring atmosphere with a large kitchen and in order to give you the attention you deserve, we have decided to limit the participants to 10 people so be quick to sign up!

The classes will be spread over Friday 16th (afternoon), Saturday 17th (lunch and dinner) and Sunday 18th (lunch and dinner) and they will also include a wine tasting session on one of the days. The price will be 750€ per person and that includes lodgings (in a double room) food (2 breakfasts, 2 lunches & 3 dinners), drink, wine tasting and the teaching. The closest and most convenient airport is the Florence Peretola Airport but you can also fly to Pisa Airport. You can find detailed directions how to get to the Podere Patrignone here and here. To sign up or to get more information, please contact me at luculliandelights AT gmail DOT com or Sandra at cucina AT untoccodizenzero DOT com as soon as you can, you never know if there are any spaces left, do you? We are looking forward to meet you!

  5. That sounds absolutely wonderful!  I hope you will be able to share the whole experience here later, as I could not possibly join the event in "real life"

    Good luck with the preparations, I am sure it will be a huge success!

  7. This is very interesting and the price is affordable too (even with my current financial restrictions).  I can't drive though which is why I haven't been to Tuscany for a long time now. :(

  8. <span>Already making my plans just organizing costs with husband tonight. Karen and Nanette - oh come on! Won't it be fun? I'm not bugging Görel as she has *sigh* work that weekend. Husband already booked one weeks vacation at work so we can come to Italy and I can take these classes.

I have become the a bad blogger because I either forget or I don't have the time to answer your comments but that does not mean that I don't read or appreciate them, quite the opposite really. The generosity that shines through what you write and the fact that you take the time to comment on my posts makes my blogging worthwhile so Thank You for what you do for me and please keep on commenting!
