The New Year has just begun with the good resolutions that all of us make. The resolution of GiglioCooking is One: being better …although better means a lot of things:Being even more authentic than we have been. Proposing even more “true” programs, recipes , ingredients.Working even more to pursue the reason the school was born for.
I can go on forever , listing all the good thoughts.But I will stop to propose something concrete:
A special program in collaboration with the hotel La Guardia https://laguardiahotel.it/ Giglio Island, Tuscany.
You will discover a piece of authentic Italy throught its foods, while cuddled in the comfort of terraces and windows with the most spectacular view on the sea.
wild chicory
ansonica grapes
monk fish
The aim is:
· Relaxing. Yes : to find the real, deep, relax and peace
· Taking hikes. Depending the season and the weather, the guests would take a boat trip for fishing, a trekking path to a steep vineyard, a lesson on history and nature of the island, pick edible grass…..
· Cooking! And then eating the meal they produce with the ingredients of the island ( “0 miles”, or “farm to table” as we say today
· “Sensing” the “nothing” http://gigliocooking.blogspot.com/2014/05/nothing.html
