Cooking Vacations Recipes Food International Guide
Cooking Vacations All Over The World
By Jennifer Bowers
Taking the same boring vacation to the same spot each year can
take the excitement out of traveling. You have already done the
cruise thing and the beach thing. It is now time to do something
different. It may be just you, or a trip with the whole family
or just a friend. It could also be a romantic getaway for you
and your loved one.
What vacation comes to mind? Cooking vacations can offer just
what you need to recharge your batteries, while learning some
new culinary delights. You get the opportunity to travel and enjoy
what the culinary community has to offer. One website to review
your options and check out is www.cooking-vacations.com.
Expectations Of Cooking Vacations
Do not expect cooking vacations to be the same thing as attending
the best culinary schools in the country. You will not earn a
diploma and you will not learn every type of cuisine. Sure, you
may take an Italian or French tour but you will not be enrolled
in French or Italian cooking schools.
You need to think in simpler terms when it comes to what you
will learn. You will not come out of the tour as an executive
chef, but you will come out with a more appreciative view of preparing
food that you love.
Pick Your Choice Of Cooking Tours
Now for what these vacations are and what they mean to you as
the vacationer. You can expect several different programs and
options when booking one of these vacations. They include: Italian
tours, women only tours, Todd English tours, kids programs, corporate
tours, couples and French tours.
The website has a listing of each different location that is
offered on each particular tour. You may want to visit Southern
Italy and feast in the open air kitchens that offer far more than
just a scenic view. The one thing in common with all of the programs
is that each locale features an organic garden so that you will
be cooking seasonal foods and foods indigenous to that particular
region.
For Fans Of Italian And French Cooking
The website also offers recipes from the different regions, as
well as travel tips and much, much more. If you are a fan of Italian
and French cooking, then this may be the vacation that you have
dreamed of taking. It is a great opportunity to learn more about
the regions and to have the chance to cook in the kitchens of
such places as rustic farmhouses or luxurious estates.
Lauren Scruncio Birmingham is the creator of the cooking vacations
at www.cooking-vacations.com.
Her goal was to share her own and her family’s love of cooking
with others.
Learning Simple Yet Outstanding Dishes
She started the cooking vacation idea as a way to pay homage
to her grandmother Donna and has since made quite a big impact
on the culinary community. People love the idea of learning simple
yet outstanding dishes created by the people who eat them every
day. It is that love of cooking that has people returning year
after year to take the different tours.
You can embrace the love of cooking as well by booking one of
her tours. As her website says, "la dolce vita is not just
a special vacation it is a way of life."

Did You Know?
There is something relaxing about cooking a favorite meal at
home. The delicious aromas while the food is cooking and then
there is the final product awaiting your taste buds. Have you
ever given any thought to taking your love and passion for food
and making it into a career?
Many people are finding rewarding careers in the food industry.
Culinary schools are experiencing record enrollment thanks in
part to television shows such as 'Hell's Kitchen' and 'Top Chef'.
Each week participants put their culinary skills to the test
and it makes others yearn to be in the kitchen doing the same
thing. Even if cooking is not your idea of fun there are other
aspects of the food industry that are taught in culinary schools.
You may want to work on the business side. Where ever your passion
for food lies, a culinary school can help you find the skills
you need.
