About us The Taste-Italia cookery schools were started in 2002 by Leo and Maureen Smith. They are found in six beautiful, historic locations in Tuscany and Le Marche, and there is also a local school in Ramsden Heath, Essex. Italian schools With six schools in stunning locations and cookery at the beautiful Monastery of Vallechiara in Rome (new this year), all Taste-Italia courses reflect the traditions of the regions they are in. Locations range from by the sea to cities and mountains, and we use local cooks and traditional recipes. The range of courses is designed to suit different budgets, from Michelangelo's masterpiece the legendary Villa San Michele in Fiesole to a simple agriturismo in the spectacular Riviera del Conero. We list four historic palazzi as cookery venues, with one Princess and three Contessas. Prices include hands-on tuition, accommodation, breakfast and dinner. They do not include flights or car hire.
