Cooking Holidays?

[Watching You]

HI all,
After deciding yesterday that I wanted to learn more about cooking I did some research on the net and found a site that deals in cooking holidays, I nor any of my friends have been on one of these before so have nothing to go by, but I was wondering if any of you could give me advice and/or feedback? the site I found is based in the Uk and is www.destination-cooking.co.uk
Any help would be appreciated!

Sunkissed Suzie,

All this talk about French or non French foods, however, the world is your oyster (in culinary terms anyway). But if you like Thai food, you should love making it even more especially going to the markets to buy the fresh ingredients.

I had a friend who did this one a while back, hoping you like Thai food, is the Blue Elephant cookery school. I would certainly give this ***** recommendation.


PS. It does mean you will have to travel to Thailand for this, but I know there are other schools based here in the UK, but it's not as much fun going to Sainburys or Tescos on a wet dark October evening for the ingredients compared with buying them fresh, in the sunshine, at a Thai market, ahh….I can smell them now.

Puccia! Sounds lovely SB! Did you cook or was it more o a wine tasting experience (which is still nice!!!)
Would you reccomend using them as a holiday, I did see that you can choose your own region, Brittany sounds nice to me: With delicious local seafood and a wide selection of traditional French food markets, Brittany is a dream for any food lover.
Now thats the life I want!!!

Yeah we cooked, with all fresh ingerdients bought from local markets the accommodation was fantastic, and strangely it all went without a single hitch.

I would seriously recoomend this, although I am not sure about Britttany the PUccia way of life is just outstanding, relaxed, warm, friendly.

5*'s for me, I dint wuite grasp all the recipes but my knowledge is much better xoxo
