International cooking classes hosted in-home?
I'm doing research on cooks who host classes or cooking schools in their own homes (not in students' homes) around the world. Has anyone had a stellar culinary learning experience experience abroad or in the U.S.?

My sister Lisa is an absolutely stellar cook and she has moved to a teeny part of Italy on the Adriatic, a province called le Marche, where she offers classes at her B&B Casa La Formica. She's a total fanatic about organic, authentic ingredients but not at all a stuffed shirt. I know it would be worth talking to her. She's been living in Italy and Wisconsin for years and has a very ethnically diverse palate, having also been married to an Indian man for a number of years. The woman can cook!
Good luck with your project!

I took Indian cooking classes with a coworker of my then-boyfriends, along with said ex and my mother. It was great. Every Saturday morning for a month we'd show up and she'd walk us through the prep and the cooking, and then around lunch time we'd eat what we'd made. We actually did it three times - so worthwhile.
Oh, and I live in Canada, if that matters.
