Superb week away in Sicily. Of course, being with a nice group helps, but the Flavours staff could't have been more helpful, and the week was a nice mix of downtime, tours, and cooking.

I particularly liked that most of the dishes we learned were local specialities that you're not going to find in an Italian restaurant in the UK so anything I produce for friends will be something different. It was also great to be able to learn how to make pasta with supervision - it's a fairly tactile skill and not something you'd learn easily from a book.

My only note of caution is that unless you've expressed a dietary preference in advance, the meals are pretty much 'you get what you're given', so if you're a fussy eater who will only eat a limited range of flavours then you might struggle to make the most of the week.
