The joy of being able to attend authentic Italian cooking schools!  There are many excellent courses available, right here in America, for those wishing to truly learn the art of Italian cooking.  Creative cooking schools such as the Institute of Culinary Education in New York are enjoying a new surge of eager students, ready to learn all they possibly can about American, French and Italian cooking.  School president, Richard Smilow, says his classes have shown a substantial increase each year for the past five years.  Further, he expects this trend to continue.

Italian cooking schools are surprisingly affordable.  In fact, for what we spend in six months dining out, we can more than pay for the fees associated with learning these new skills.  And if you think the nearest course is too far away, think again.  There are many available Italian cooking classes located coast to coast, with more popping up each day.  Many are taught by renowned Italian chefs too!

What To Look For

The first think you want to be sure of is if the class includes step by step recipe preparations, a quick lesson in Italian jargon, the differences in virgin oils, wines and other ingredients and you want to know you’ll come away a better cook than when you arrived.  We want to know where we can find the essential ingredients and the best local areas to locate those wonderful Italian sausages.  It defeats your purpose if there’s little gained from your efforts.  

And if you’re wondering how affordable these schools are, rest assured they’re within most of our budgets.  Most four day courses can be had for less than five hundred dollars.  The short classes can be booked usually for less than three hundred dollars.  There are even early booking discounts or group discounts as additional incentives.  And if you have a special someone, why not make it a complete romantic getaway as you learn to create great dishes together?    

Remember, though, your first intent is to have fun.  You want to pick up these great recipes and ideas, but if you’re not having fun, you’re not getting the full experience from any of these courses by attending an Italian cooking and baking school.  The resources are out there and available for the taking.  It’s up to us to put those resources to good use.
