Cooking in Provence
Expand your culinary repertoire beyond Rachael Ray recipes with a pilgrimage to France's foremost food region, where you'll encounter sun-drenched fields of fragrant lavender, rustic hillside villages, and a culture that revels in marathon four-hour meals. The land that nourished Cézanne and van Gogh is ripe with interactive cooking classes, many taught in 18th-century stone farmhouses. You'll gather local ingredients from centuries-old markets, learn how to construct blue-ribbon bouillabaisse from master chefs, and wine and dine with friends at Michelin-starred restaurants.
Book It: Turn off the Food Network and join The International Kitchen for a six-night "Week in Provence" that includes accommodations, most meals, five cooking classes, and excursions around Provence for $3,250 per person.
