It's a very different kind of vacation than living in a hotel. One of these days, I'm going to do it. I don't know, I tend to move around too much when I'm over there to stay in one place like that for a week or two. 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. Tell me a little about your culinary experience. I was really lucky to have private cooking lessons from two of the best-known Italian chefs and cooking teachers in Tuscany. Lorenza De Medici has a beautiful villa in Coltibuono where she has her cooking school. People come for a week at a time from all over the world, and stay in the villa, and they have cooking lessons every day.
