Italian Cookery Holiday

Tuscany Region, Tuscany, Italy

About the school

Passionate about enjoying real Italian food your chef Jonathan is British by origin but has been living and cooking in Italy for over two decades and is one of very few Englishmen to have been asked to cook for Italian nobility. A passion which has led him to be invited to teach in England, France and the USA to both amateur and professional Chefs.



As Italians often attend the cookery courses your classes will be taught in both English and Italian so the Chef’s bilingual daughter is often on hand to help out, a perfect chance for you to get to grips with your Italian food vocabulary!

Situated in Cortona, Tuscany, in the Province of Arezzo this beautiful Tuscan town is just 40 kms from the border of Umbria. Offering magnificent views that extend over the plains and hills of Tuscany and Umbria, this is a fantastic location to relax, visit the restaurants and bars to enjoy the delicious regional Tuscan food and wine or to soak up the colours, flavours and sunshine at one of the busy street markets.

As your classes take place in the evening you are also perfectly placed to explore two of Italy’s most famous regions, Tuscany (Florence) or Umbria (Perugia) or jump on a train to Rome during the day time, taking just 2.5 hours.

If you have ever been to Italy before you will have noticed the numerous Monasteries and Convents dotted about the landscape and on hill tops. Many of these beautiful buildings have been converted into Bed and Breakfast accommodation for Italian families and tourists visiting the area.

Your cooking courses will take place in one of these convents in the spacious and accommodating kitchen facilities, a perfect setting for you immerse yourself in Italy’s rich culinary and cultural history, with plenty of space for you to sit and enjoy the fantastic food and wine!
