Cooking Schools the New Club Med

Posted by Jacqueline Church Jun 4, 2008

After my travels recently, I'm ready for the armchair style. Comfort of my own home, my own kitchen, my own bathroom, my own bed. Yes, I know, I am the one mooning on and on about waking up in a new place and the thrill of the unknown sights, smells and sounds that await me. It's still true. I'm just spent. From Vancouver. to Seattle, to Monterey to New Orleans to Nantucket - jeez - this is sounding rather ridiculous to whine about....did I mention the last six days were with parents? Did I mention we live in a loft...okay, enough said.

If you're researching your next trip, or just in a dreaming about traveling mood, I highly recommend Everett Potter's newsletter and this edition has a delightful interview with the author of the hot new book "The Saucier's Apprentice" Bob Spitz.

If you really want to do the culinary travel thing, which I wrote about here, then why not read Everett's interview and pick up Bob's book for the plane ride. At least then you'll arrive armed with some knowledge of the non-culinary type that can help you sail through the cooking school experience.

Bon voyage!
