Cook, Eat, Laugh!

Cook, Eat, Laugh in a small southern Italian village and gain a cultural understanding of what lies behind the great dishes.  Stay in an agriturismo that prides itself on farm to table cooking. This culinary experience is for those of you who want to see a part of Italy that is off the crowded tourist trail and taste dishes that go back generations.

This is not your traditional vacation! Spend mornings not in a restaurant or cooking school kitchen, but in a real family’s kitchen, learning the recipes and menus that have been handed down for generations. During this one-week exploration of the food and culture of Southern Italy, almost everything is included.

Includes –

• Transportation from the Benevento Train Station
• 7 nights at Borgo Cerquelle an agriturismo in a centuries old contrada. The double rooms are large with ensuite bathrooms.  All participants will be sharing rooms, so ask a friend to come on the adventure.
• Welcoming Night Bar Crawl – meet the locals at their favorite hang-outs. 
• 4 half-day cooking classes with local cooks. After preparing the dishes for pranzo or cena you will sit down and eat multi-courses with the family.  
• English Speaking Translator for all classes and events.
• Wine and artesian food tasting at a local vintner
• Pontelandolfo Day – open air market, tasting of locally produced products, other local activities and light cena.
• Excursion to Sepino Altilia Roman Ruins    
• Walking Tour of Historical Pontelandolfo
• Enjoy traditional folk dancing, cheese tossing and bocci.
• Last night serata di arriverderci with all the local cooks.
• Apron
• Written recipes in English.

Regretfully, there are no special dietary considerations.  Since you will be cooking and eating in people’s homes, not restaurants, accommodations cannot be made for allergies or preferences. This medieval village has charming cobblestone streets but it is not handicapped accessible.  The adventure and experience in the home of local families requires the ability to climb stairs, walk on uneven streets and feel comfortable in a hilly environment.
