Preparation at a famous restaurant In the preparation tour of a famous restaurant, we observed the preparation of a famous Florentine restaurant, TRATTORIA MARIO. Trattoria Mario is a family-run restaurant that has been in operation for four generations. The menu changes daily, and the menu list is rewritten every day. This is the secret that makes us want to come here every day. This time, after visiting the restaurant, we actually had a taste of the restaurant’s menu! All of the dishes are traditional Tuscan cuisine. 名店の仕込み 名店の仕込み見学では、フィレンツェの名店「TRATTORIA・MARIO（トラットリア・マリオ） 」の仕込みを見学させてもらいました。トラットリア・マリオは、4代にわたり続いている家族経営のお店。メニューは日替わりで毎日、メニュー表を書き直しているそうです。毎日通いたくなる秘密がここにあります。 今回はこのお店で見学後、実際にお店のメニューをいただきました！ どれも伝統的なトスカーナ料理たち。 Agriturismo During the agriturismo training, we learned about the growing process of grapes and olives and learned about farm cooking […]

Northern Italian Cooking Lesson Tagliatelle Bolognese pasta made from dough. And Milanese Cotolette. They say you can’t call it cotollette if it doesn’t have ribs on it. The green pasta, ravioli with pumpkin, is pretty to look at! And the dolce, pear and red wine tart, has a nice mature look! 北イタリア料理レッスン タリアッテッレのボロネーゼのパスタは生地から作りました。 そしてミラノ風コトレッテ。 肋骨がついていないとコトレッテとは呼べないそうです。 緑のパスタ、カボチャのラビオリは見た目も可愛い！ そしてドルチェの洋梨と赤ワインのタルトは大人な感じが素敵です！ On my days off, I went on excursions. On days when I did not have lessons, I went on excursions by bus or train. I was able to visit small towns such as Siena and San Gimignano, which are not usually visited by ordinary travelers. 休みの日は小旅行へ レッスンのない日は、バスや電車で小旅行へ行きました。 シエナやサン・ジミニャーノなど普通の旅行ではなかなか訪れることのない小さな街もゆっくり行けたは留学の醍醐味です。 Enjoy life in Florence Florence, […]

Cooking Lessons Cooking lessons begin with Tuscan cuisine, of which Florence is the capital. Students try various recipes of Tuscan and Northern Italian cuisine! There were many unfamiliar tasks such as using ingredients that are rare in Japan, crushing basil from a stone mortar to make Genovese sauce, and cooking vegetables for a long time to make stewed broadsides, but we were able to experience many different things! 料理レッスン 料理レッスンは、フィレンツェが州都であるトスカーナ料理からレッスンが始まります。 トスカーナ料理、北イタリア料理とさまざまなレシピに挑戦！ 日本では珍しい食材を使ったり、石臼からバジルを潰しジェノベーゼソースを作ったり、野菜を長時間かけて煮込みブロードを作ったりと慣れない作業も多かったですが、いろいろな経験ができました！ I also enjoyed studying abroad in Italy. Florence is a world heritage city, so even just walking around the city was exciting! We went to the Uffizi Gallery to see the famous “Birth of Venus” and visited a […]
