Questions

Before you book anything

What is Will Travel for Food?

Will Travel for Food is Chef Amazing's Cooking School Abroad: small-group food travel built around cooking. You shop the local markets, cook in local kitchens and learn from great chefs, moving around a region rather than staying in one place.

Where will the cooking trips go?

We are starting with Italy, France and Denmark, and favoring regions such as Tuscany and Sicily over the best-known food tourism routes.

Who leads the trips?

Great chefs and cooking personalities, including cookbook authors, host the trips alongside local cooks and producers. We are testing interest in both local chefs and well-known chef hosts.

Do I have to ride in a group van?

No. The plan lets guests travel on their own between stops if they prefer.

When are the trips and what do they cost?

Dates and prices for upcoming trips are listed on this page, with the hosts' published rates. Availability changes, so ask us before you plan around one. Joining the interest list is free and does not commit you to anything.
