Chef Training Course (#1) – Ayaka S

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 church.

イタリアの留学生活も満喫
世界遺産の街、フィレンツェだからただの街歩きもワクワク!
ウフィツィ美術館に行って有名な「ヴィーナスの誕生」を見学したり、教会を訪れたりしました。
