Cooking in Paradise: Culinary Vacations Around the World
"Cooking in Paradise" is a rich, definitive guide to hands-on gourmet cooking vacations around the world. Ever reams of sauteing in Sicily? Or having a master divulge the secrets of perfect patisserie in Paris? How about mincing in Morocco? Cooking in Paradise will show you how to get there, and scores of other places, with over 150 listings for cooking-vacation programs around the world (and a handful right here in the United States, too). Joel and Lee Naftali give details about famous courses--like Patricia Wells's "at home" in her eighteenth century Provencal farmhouse--but have also unearthed truly unusual fare, from a kosher-cooking course in Tuscany to an Australian country house gourmet retreat to a Mexican cuisine class held at a working hillside farm in Oaxaca. "Cooking in Paradise" provides all the information you need to book a cooking vacation today, but with its evocation of far-flung locales and over 50 unusual recipes from the schools included, it's perfect for the stay-at-home chef as well.

Cooking in Paradise : Culinary Vacations Around the World
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Great book! It lists hundreds of culinary vacations, from gourmet five-star resorts, to living on a farmhouse learning traditional country cooking. Many of the vacations are in France and Italy, but there are also many in Mexico, Asia, England, --and a couple in Brazil, Turkey, Greece, Morocco, etc. Descriptions are really good--you get a very strong feeling for the place. It's not only for experienced chefs or serious students, either, but for anyone who loves cooking and travel (I found it in the travel section, actually, and don't know what's better--the cooking or the activities, like visiting local markets and horseback riding and spa treatments and language classes.) Plus, I made the Pad Thai (the books has a recipe every four or five pages--I'm going to try the 'Fried Milk,' a strange-looking dessert from Basque Country in Spain, next), which turned out to be easier than it looked, and delicious!

THE BEST OF TRAVEL AND OF COOKING!!!

I found this book to be so helpful in planning my vacation. The listings are comprehensive, the descriptions fun and substantive, and the recipes are spectacular! Even if you don't want to take a cooking vacation (but I'm betting you will after reading this book) you will still enjoy taking a mental vacation as you read it. Cooking in Paradise combines the best of travel and cooking writing in a unique, creative way. Great gift for those planning a honeymoon or a romantic getaway, too. The food of love!
