#10636 Cooking in an Authentic Tuscan Household in Pontesieve, Chianti
It’s a given that you’ll eat amazing food in Italy, but why not cook it, too? Accidental Tourist will hook you up with a half-day cooking lesson in Chianti. First, a raffish American chef (who also leads bike rides) teaches you the art of making fresh pasta. Then a mysterious Sophia Lorenesque signorina serves lunch in her homey kitchen (complete with sporadic electricity). With mostly English-speakers from around the world at the table, you can finally take a break from croaking primitive Italian and engage in some percolating conversation. Once the adventure is through, you’ll be glad you found out about this rather bohemian (and very reasonably priced) company.
