"The third in this series of unusual, illustrated vacation guides, this new volume features twenty-five cooking schools from around the world, and include the Mandarin Oriental Cooking School in Bangkok where in intimate-sized classes you learn traditional ingredient preparation and gain confidence to produce delectable Thai dishes, and Betty's, the well-known tea room and bakery in Yorkshire, England, where experts give master classes in the art of baking. Other destinations include a course preparing seafood in Sydney, Australia, a study of Northern Italian food and wine in Tuscany, and a discovery of seasonal French cuisine in Provence." "Author Jenni Muir selected schools that will provide a memorable holiday along with practical skills and useful knowledge about a particular cuisine. Accompanying 150 travel and food pictures in full color, the text describes each course of study - from a long weekend to a two-week program - and provides a "taster" recipe from each school. Tips are provided on other programs readers might like to try if they find the one featured appealing. There is also information about schedules, travel arrangements, and accommodations that range from charming bed-and-breakfast places near the schools to luxurious all-inclusive packages staying in former convents, rustic farmhouses, and plush international hotels."--BOOK JACKET.
