A cooking lesson, a picturesque stroll through the countryside, a taste of authentic Umbria, a slice of traditional Italian life… a Wild Foods Cooking Lesson is a day out you will never forget. You will learn to cook like an Italian, fully immersing yourself into true Italian culture.
Guided by a local expert we take to the beautiful Umbrian countryside in search of any number of traditional ‘wild’ delicacies, whatever’s in abundance depending on the season and the weather. Exploring Montefalco’s olive groves, country lanes and stands of centuries-old oaks we might hunt for wild asparagus or rocket. Or meandering over Pettino’s mountain pastures we search for truffles and mushrooms and the myriad of naturally growing produce. When our guide decides we have enough for lunch it’s back to the house to learn how to transform them into authentic Umbrian dishes.
Together you prepare a number of dishes from fresh pasta to frittata, going step by step through the entire process. It’s fun, interesting and very informal – beyond honing your Italian cooking knowledge it’s a great introduction to traditional Umbrian living. There’s always plenty of wine to go with lunch!
We can tailor-make the experience to suit your needs, from the amount of walking (none at all, if you prefer) to any particular culinary interests you may have. We Pick you up at 9:30 am and take you back anytime after lunch, usually around 3 or 4 pm.
