I love to cook and, for me, it was wonderful to have these two lessons with these fabulous chefs. If I had money to spend and wanted a different kind of vacation, I would definitely take a week and go to either of their cooking schools. They offer you a different view. I mean, it's not just cooking. They offer you a different kind of Tuscany.
Food is so integral to the Italian culture and lifestyle.
I can't think of any other culture where food is as important as it is in Italy.
