Italy: The
Flavours of the Amalfi Coast
(Options: Day Cooking Classes, Wine Tastings
and Tours, Special Events)
Ravello, Italy - 7 nights
Mamma Agata’s cooking course takes place in her private home,
situated on a cliff top, 1000 feet above the sea level, a very
gracious home that majestically overlooks the AMALFI Coastline, with
wonderful terraces and a spacious garden full of lemon trees, fruit
trees, flowers, vegetables and poultry.
She produces nearly all the food that she cooks and has a vast
experience in traditional Southern Italian cuisine.
Mamma Agata began cooking at age thirteen. She
has been the chef for many major Hollywood actors and actresses
including Humphrey Bogart, Liz Taylor, Fred Astaire, Jackie
Kennedy as well as writers, politicians and international
journalists.
Mamma Agata invites you into her gorgeous home
where she will teach you "elegant simplicity". There is also a small
farm with free-range chickens, turkeys and rabbits. Her Italian
garden is located below the terrace, so each participant can also
learn about growing organic vegetables.
