The Tuscan Chef is an exclusive, luxury Tuscan
Culinary School offering a selection of cooking vacations throughout
the year. Courses are
hands-on under the guidance of professional Italian chef and
sommelier,
Valter Roman, and also feature guest chefs from around the
world including
Alvaro Maccioni of La Famiglia restaurant in London.
Alvaro is a
passionate advocate of using fresh, seasonal produce and traditional
methods of cooking. He
believes that 'if a chef cooks like his mother, he is a great chef.
If he cooks like his grandmother, he is even greater!'
Valter believes cooking is not just a matter of
weights and measures and following a recipe but of feeling and
instinct and hands-on experience.
 Alvaro
and Valter’s taste of
Tuscany
is a special blend of only the finest ingredients in life.
Together in the kitchen you will learn to be experimental yet not
lose sight of the true Tuscan flavours and disciplines in cooking.
You will be encouraged to explore the tastes and textures of some of
the finest and freshest ingredients on an inspiring culinary journey
in and out of the kitchen and you will discover, recognise and start
to understand the true soul of Italian cooking and how Italian food
really should taste.
