Another hugely popular cuisine is the Italian one, and you will have the chance to learn how to cook some of its most delicious recipes if you attend a course at the Castello di Vicarello in Tuscany. Built in the 12th century, the castle is a beautiful setting to learn to cook dishes such as tortelli with ricotta and spinach, which is one of the specialties of chef Aurora Baccheschi, an incredible hotelier and cookbook author.
