If you plan to be in Italy this Spring, I highly recommend you make a beeline for a Culinary Workshop there called The Colors of the Kitchen. On this once-in-a-lifetime trip you’ll spend two whole weeks learning from Master Chef Enrico Casini, who is a protégé of famous Italian gastronome and wine critic Luigi Veronelli. Enrico will teach you the secrets of Italian and Tuscan cuisine, plus you’ll also get out of the kitchen to visit many of the beautiful sites of Tuscany, including Siena, Pienza, Montepulciano, Montalcino and fantastic coastal towns like Orbetello and Porto Santo. Colors of the Kitchen Culinary Workshop takes place May 26–June 8. You can learn more and register over on this page. Should you go, please understand how jealous I’ll be! (But please still write me afterwards with your feedback and some great pics for this blog...) Matt.
