After visiting Case Vecchie in Sicily earlier this year, and then meet Fabrizia, I knew Id have to come back to the school.
The funny thing is that, without planning it, Fabrizia and I got along really well. Its easy. She is simply delightful and warm, she cooks delicious foods; she loves to share stories and has a terrific laughter, and she also speaks French like a native.
I knew I had to love her.
Quickly, she and I started to dream about teaching a workshop together. One that would combine cooking Sicilian foods, styling and photographing food, and then visiting locals to learn about the flavors of this beautiful Mediterranean island. Sicilians are really welcoming!
So we exchanged ideas. And came up with the workshop that follows:
A 4-day combined food styling and photography workshop with cooking classes at Case Vecchie, and guided tours in Sicily, from March 15 to March 20, 2013.
I will be teaching the food styling and photography sessions while Fabrizia Lanza, founder and instructor at Anna Tasca Cooking School, will lead the cooking classes. And amongst it all, there will also be local visits to discover snapshots of the Sicilian culture (such as vi! siting a ricotta farm, traveling to Palermo to see the markets, enjoy St Joseph festivitiesand more).
This is an excellent chance to see what your food and scenic inspiration looks like in print!
Some props will be providedand a number of classic and innovative styles will be explored and compared. Bring your SLR camera! (and tripod, if you have one, and any additional props youd like)this class is an invaluable introduction for aspiring food photographers and stylists to start building a portfolio.
The cost for 5 nights (lodging with all meals and drinks included) and 4-day class is US$ 2,300. Air fare is not included. Most rooms are shared. Wifi is available in the main house of the school.
The class is limited to 12 students.
