Unforgettable light and flavours bring seasonal nuances as the years evolves. The warm earth, steeped in history and resonant with symbolism, the richness of scenery which arouses the senses, a land of chivalry and ancient traditions. This is the glorious setting of the **** star Relais d'epoca, situated in the heart of the charming Esse Valley, nestling on the border of Tuscany and Umbria, surrounded by the magical Etruscan landscape.
The cooking class is a time to get together and enjoy discovering the cultural roots of the local food and wine.
The Italian cuisine offers many dishes and courses which vary from region to region and which are recognized around the world for the wealth and quality of the ingredients Italy produces. The kitchen, first and above all, is about culture, socializing and creativity. It is also the best way to get to know the traditions of a country. Food...as a bond to the life, to the land, to a culture. Food...as an expression of love that finds in the passion and in the fullness of the ingredients, its own ritual of continuity -maybe through memory- or just the simple pleasure of savouring life in a tasty morsel. This great richness, symbolically and gastronomically, expresses itself thanks to the use and reinstatement of traditional recipes rediscovered through creativity and professionalism of Italian chefs. By participating in this cookery classes, you are getting in touch with a cultural reality of a very precise identity, which has been part of Italian history. It is possible to learn to make traditional recipes, but more importantly to learn to recognize and appreciate the fragrances, flavours and combinations, which are always a part of the Italian table. Create typical Italian recipes and take the ancient culture back home with you.
