Southern Italian Cookery

Italy, especially Southern Italy, Sicily and Sardinia, are well known for good food. Let us organise a holiday at one of our hand-picked hotels or self-catering properties where you will be able to relax and spend time learning the art of authentic Italian cookery.

Learn the necessary Italian cookery skills from your host so that you too can create some fantastic traditional, Southern Italian dishes. Cook hot, spicy food with Marina at I Monaci in Calabria, where the chillies are HOT! Learn the secret of the local pasta dishes with Pina and her brother Lino at the Villa Pina in the heart of Sicily, or pick up the skills needed to turn mozzarella into a mouth-watering creation at Tenuta Seliano in South Campania. Italians pride themselves on their ability to cook wholesome, healthy and tasty dishes. Many well known recipes are passed down from generation to generation, others are closely guarded secrets and will only be cooked in one or two villages.

In recent years Jamie Oliver, Rick Stein and Marks & Spencer have all researched the recipes of Southern Italy. They too spent time with cooks and chefs who are passionate about their ingredients, their regional dishes, their produce and their recipes.

Whether you are cooking hearty mountain dishes of the Pollino National Park in Basilicata, learning the secrets of how to make the perfect pizza on the Amalfi Coast, or creating a delicate fish and seafood dish in Puglia, however advanced or basic your cookery skills are, whether you cook for fun or are more serious about your Italian cookery, we will help arrange something for you.

We have a number of different courses, including our “Pick Cook and Eat” itinerary. Whatever your favourite Italian dish may be, the best way to learn is to be taught by someone who makes it day in, day out.
