Culinary holiday in Italy

Kook2_1 In October I'm going to cook in Italy again. To be completely honest, I'm going to let other people cook in Italy. :)

Together with Strada Nuova I've organized a week-long cooking holiday. We had the "tryout" with a small group during October last year. The holiday has been fantastic and the people in the group were extremely nice, curious about the local eating habits and products, and very, very enthousiastic. We've had fun, seen and tasted a lot of food and wine and, most of all, we've cooked lots of nice Italian stuff!

This Autumn we're going back to Nepi - about 50 km from Rome.
From a culinary point of view, this is de-fi-ni-te-ly my favourite season. I'm namely crazy about chestnuts, truffles, porcini mushroom, polenta, you name it. And I find a cozy after-dinner fireplace totally irresistible.
But, I admit, we could be in for some "unpleasant" surprises. Last year, for example, we've had fabulous sunshiny days and we've used the fireplace just a few times. :)

I surely hope the weather is going to be as nice as last year's. Warm sunny days are the perfect natural excursion-enhancer. And Rome in the Autumn sun is one of the things in life that make me deeply happy. A visit to the ricotta and pecorino maker, the great olive oil producer and the many local markets in the area is, of course, much more pleasurable when the sun is shining. And we're definitely going to visit the beautiful markets! First of all to learn how to buy "the Italian way" and IN Italian, and then to see, smell and taste everything that can be seen, smelled and tasted. After that, we're going to prepare everything we bought in the best and most appetizing possible way, and then - you can be sure about that - we'll eat everything we've made accompanied by some great local wines!
