My heartfelt gratitude to the hosts of The Awaiting Table for arranging such a fabulous venue such as the Castle week in Italy! Silvestro and the staff were the most charming hosts and able to meld a diverse group of people attending the course, who did not know each other previously, in to a laughing, light hearted bunch carrying on like old friends. The cooking instruction was superb, as Silvestro always managed to teach the subtle concepts of regional Italian cooking to the group and to make every person feel as if they had received his personal attention. I was very impressed by the knowledge and organization of the school-they had all the details covered. Many thanks for an outstanding holiday: it ranks as one of the best in my lifetime!!!
