There is no such thing as “Italian cooking.”

Just as every region of Italy—from Piedmont to Sicily—has its own cultural identity, each also has its own culinary specialties. At LdM, we help you develop your own Italian culinary art skills through the celebration of traditional and innovative cooking techniques, all the while promoting the knowledge and enjoyment of Italian regional cuisines and wines.

Learn how to craft a fine meal, using all the tools of the trade: culinary skills development, meal planning, meat and vegetable cutting, knife skills, Italian baking and pastry, fine patisserie, potage, soups and creams, fresh pasta and sauces, wine tasting and appreciation, correct execution of classic recipes and food preservation.

Furthermore, in Tuscania, you can do even more! Get an insider’s perspective on the different traditions of the countries in the Mediterranean basin. Learn how to do it all the Mediterranean way: olive oil, herbs and spices, fish and shellfish, vegetarian cuisine, breads—even Mediterranean desserts. Fully immerse yourself in the discovery of new culinary techniques as we at the LdM Culinary and Nutritional Arts Department help guide you toward personal and professional growth.
