One Day Cooking Class
My husband and I are going to Tuscany in late May. We are interested in taking a one day cooking class. I have found a lot of info about week-long cooking vacations, but not about a day class. We are real foodies looking for a challenge.<BR>Thanks for any advice!

I have no personal experience with this, but would love to do it sometime and have looked into it a bit. Here are some links that you might find helpful:<BR><BR>http://www.theinternationalkitchen.com/lesson.htm<BR><BR>http://www.eccolacucina.com/onedayclass.html<BR><BR>http://www.vinaio.com/code/groupcuisine.html<BR><BR>http://cookforfun.shawguides.com/ (ignore specific descriptions of cooking holidays on the main page and click on programs that sound interesting to get a link to the actual cooking school's site - some have single day classes.)<BR><BR>Please report back if you do one of these and let us know what you thought!

RobinM-- I would highly recommend the tour group Savour of France--<BR><BR>http://www.villasandvoyages.com/savour/<BR><BR>they do tour of tuscany and are for real foodies- incorporating 3 star Michelin rest. and chefs and touring wineries-- <BR><BR>We did it in Burgundy and they are NOW doing Tuscany!! Prices are the best out there for the value--<BR><BR>Include transportation,hotel,tx,scv,bkfst and some dinners and lunches===Travel is in a 14 pass ,mini van--so it is a VERY small wonderful group of people with a guide that speaks French and Italian and ENGLISH...<BR><BR>Absolutely one of the BEST vacations we ever went on.....<BR><BR>Do NOT email your request...CALL David direct-he will answer you-His number is on the website!!<BR><BR>You will LOVE it..the cooking classes are minimal at most with usually 1 full day of cooking at best- rest of it is wineries,touring,staying in Chateaus,or Villas, and eating at terrific restaurants...
