Matlagingskurs i Abruzzo

Opplev en fantastisk del av Italia, som i høy grad er undervurdert – Abruzzo.

Ikke langt fra Roma, litt lengre sør mot adriaterhavet. Ligger denne nydelige regionen, som kan ta pusten av de fleste. Vinmarker og oliventrær så langt øyet kan se.

I disse turene vil vi prøve å få med oss det meste, uten at det går på bekostning av komfort og opplevelsene deres. Vi har kurs på 4 eller 7 dager. Mange velger å kombinere oppholdet med noen dager i Roma.

Disse turene er spesielle, noe dyrere enn mange andre matlagningskurs i Italia, men en får så mye mer igjen. Dette er ikke bare en matlagningskurs, men en opplevelse for livet!

Turen inkluderer alt fra matkurs, sightseeing, gourmet middager, transfer, personlig oppfølging og ikke minst – venner for resten av livet?

Våre kurs her skal være eksklusive, derfor skal det ikke være mer en 8 – 10 personer pr kurs. Palasset som kurset holdes på har kun 6 rom, men har en kjent restaurant som trekker mye lokale innbyggere. Det er restaurantens kokk Dino, som skal introdusere dere for de mer avanserte retter. Mens Cheryl, vil lære dere å lage hjemmelaget pasta og de nydeligste desserter.
