Italian Cooking Holidays in Venice

Venice, like all other regions in Italy, has its own food specialities. Cookery holidays to Venice and the Veneto region offer a wonderful opportunity to explore the culinary traditions of the region. Obviously, due to the proximity to the sea, there are a large selection of seafood dishes to choose from.

Not only is the lagoon known for its fresh seawater dishes, there are also an interesting number of inland fresh fish dishes. Preserving fish either by marinating them or keeping them in salt water was a very common technique that still continues to this day.



I loved learning new cooking techniques and recipes in a beautiful villa setting. The villa is gorgeous and skilfully blends antiques and modern making a warm and welcoming ambience.
