I thank you from the bottom of my heart for offering this week of cookery, friendship, excursions, tastings and immersion in the Italian way of being. Your attention to detail and your ability to meet our every need made this a perfect cooking holiday. I loved every minute!

In addition, Jake was down to earth and very knowledgeable. His calm demeanour and ability to improvise on the spot is an example for me, especially when I’m preparing for a large dinner party. Amanda’s well-choreographed moves through the kitchen, anticipating every need and eventuality was beautiful to watch.

I hope to attend another of your cookery holidays in the future. Until then, I’ll grace my friends and family with the wonderful recipes I came back with.
