We have recently visited the Amalfi coast and found it a stunning place to visit and we had a most wonderful time,local people were most helpful,we had some fantastic food in the various restaurants with one exception and that was LA TAVERNA DEL DUCA were we found the food and service not up to standard. We were served stewing steak in place of fillet steak. When we tried to bring this matter to the attention of the head waiter he dismissed our concerns out of hand without any consideration. It was the worst meal we have ever had, and at a considerable price.
I am hoping you can help me attain my next life adventure. I am a Canadian citizen looking to explore what Italy has to offer for my first time. I have been dreaming of finding employment as a live on site teaching assistant, food expert, chef instructor …possibly coupled with the learning experience within a small cooking school in a warm relaxed atmosphere in Italy.
I have an insatiable passion for food. For the past 6 years, I have been teaching cooking in public teaching kitchens. In addition to developing countless recipes and menus, I have a wonderful rapport with people.
As I don’t know a soul in Italy, I am hoping to be adopted as part of a culinary family. I have a video http://www.geometrixglobal.com/spiceLadyDemos.html
Do you know where I can start to look to find such an opportunity? It would be a bonus if lodging and an income were included until I get settled.
I really appreciate whatever advice or assistance you can offer.
Warmly,
Tonni
