UK

The UK  is a good choice for a weekend break and there is a wide variety of locations for cooking holidays from coastal to rural, all making the most of local ingredients. You can learn about Scottish cooking and enjoy walking in the Highlands of Scotland, try your hand at baking in Cumbria or the Scilly Isles or cook with organic produce in Herefordshire.

Europe

Championed by Jamie Oliver on his TV series, Italy is a popular choice for cookery holidays. Each region has its own style and culture but wherever you are in Italy, they are passionate about their food and love to stir up that enthusiasm in others. Bologna, Rome and Tuscany are just some of the places where you can enjoy an Italian cooking break.

Spain is rich in history and has a diversity of cultural influences. Each region has its own dishes but some, like tapas are present throughout Spain. Popular areas for cooking breaks include Andalucia, Rioja and Catalonia where you can combine your time in the kitchen with visits to local markets, vineyards and olive oil producers.

And Beyond

Morocco may be a close neighbour of Europe but culturally, it is worlds apart. It is very much an Arab country but with influences from France, Spain, Turkey, The Middle East as well as the native Berbers. This cultural mixture gives Morocco a very interesting cuisine. Several companies offer cookery courses in locations throughout Morocco, giving you the opportunity to experience a country that truly is a feast for the senses.

Thai cuisine has become very popular in the UK over the past few years but not many of us can replicate our favourite dishes in our own kitchen. What better way to learn than to go to Thailand. When you’re not in the kitchen, you can visit the colourful food markets and sample, and purchase the exotic produce.
