August 15 – 25, 2008 The elegant colonial city of Morelia will be our I
added an extra day with Diana to this year’s trip,
so on Monday we’ll have plenty of time to tour the local market with her,
shopping for ingredients for the dishes we’ll be preparing, seeking out wild
mushrooms and huitlacoche
for us to cook up, asking questions and learning along the way. Our next three
days will be spent in the kitchen at Quinta Diana,
DK’s eco-positive home located just a short walk from the inn. We’ll be
chopping, rolling, and stirring alongside Diana as we prepare some of On
Friday we will drive back across the rolling green hills of Michoacán to the
picturesque lakeside town of Pátzcuaro,
where we will spend the coming days enjoying this area’s rich artistic
heritage. Some of Mexico’s finest folk art is produced in the villages
surrounding Lake Pátzcuaro—copperware in Santa
Clara del Cobre, masks in Tocuaro,
distinctive ceramics in Tzintzuntzan, and so much
more—and visits to the homes and studios of some of my favorite artisans are
planned. Pátzcuaro is also
one the the prettiest towns in Mexico—whitewashed
adobe houses capped by red tile roofs line the cobblestone streets leading to
plazas filled with townsfolk selling their wares or passing the afternoon
under a shady tree. It’s a town I never tire of visiting, and one I love
sharing. While
this tour includes cooking classes with the master, it is appropriate for
non-cooks as well. If your traveling companion is not interested in attending
classes with Diana, there is still plenty for them to do in the surrounding
area, and they are welcome to join us for our afternoon meal every day. Group
members not attending classes receive a $300 discount on the price of the
tour. KITCHEN CLASSICS WITH DIANA KENNEDY August 15 -25, 2008, ten nights,
