Private Cooking Lessons in the Apennines

Immerse yourself away from the typical tourist venues and focus on uncovering the secrets of Italian cuisine.  Stay in a mountain retreat that was once part of a convent and has 2 fireplaces and a stone oven. Learn how to cook authentic Italian food with a personal chef as your tutor.

Chef Stefano will design a personal cooking program based on your interests and skill level.  Chef is a devotee of Pellegrino Artusi , the father of modern day Italian cuisine. Writing only two decades after the unification of Italy, Artusi was the first to include recipes from all the different regions of Italy in a single cookbook. He is often credited with establishing a truly national Italian cuisine for the first time. 

But you won't work from a recipe book, Chef emphasizes  techniques so you can use them when you return home on any cuisine.  Learn how to bone a rabbit, slice truffles (in season) or roll pasta by hand.  This is for true foodies!
