Italian Cooking Tour with Anne Robichaud

Americans often quickly call people they meet 'friends' if they find mutual interests, hobbies or travel styles.       Over this past year I have made new 'friends' online who live in Italy, are expats  or visit as often as I do. 

Anne Robichaud is one of my 'new friends' .    Anne has lived in Italy for many years and has taught Italian, cooking, given tours of the hidden treasures of Italy and writing about Italy.

Based near Assisi, Anne is a busy woman.   As an official Umbrian Regional Tour Guide since 1997, she is in demand for tours of Assisi as well as the surrounding area.     Since 1998 she has returned to the USA for her lecture/cooking lessons, demonstrating the rural cuisine of Umbrian in private homes.

The 2015 tour schedule is almost ready.    Contact Anne for details and more information.     And when you visit Italy make sure you plan to work with your 'new friend' Anne.

2015 U.S. Cooking Lessons/Lectures Tour Itinerary

What a joy to “tour Umbria” with friends or family in your own                                           home through savoring Umbria’s flavors! Save the airfare and bring                                   “A Feast of Umbrian Rural Cooking” event to friends and family in                           February/March 2015.

Most U.S. cooking classes take place in private homes but restaurants                         have hosted classes in the past, too.

And if you’d rather just gather family and friends in for an                                              Umbrian banquet (no cooking prior), I’m happy to cook the                                           feast for the enjoyment of all.

My U.S. February/March tour often includes lecture venues as well.

The 2015 itinerary is now starting to form and will be set                                               out on this page, updated as the tour comes together.

Please note:
At times, cooking class hosts have additional spots for participants.                                   if you wish to attend a class – rather than host – or wish to                                           attend a lecture, kindly contact me.
