Looking for Cooking Course in Europe

[The Chubby Chef]

Hi there,

I'm looking to get some more training and looking for an intensive cooking course (5 days a week, 4-8 weeks, in English). I'm thinking about Southern France, Italy or Spain as my cooking style is Mediterranean and I'd like to study this cuisine. Top level French (like the cordon bleu) is not what I'm after.

I'm available to start it from mid May onwards and I'm asking you if you know and can recommend a school or know someone that can help me find the right place for me.

I have an EU passport which makes life much easier. I also speak more then basic French so looking at France as the highest priority to use this opportunity to improve my French as well.

I've already started to search around the net but prefer personal recommendations.

Thanks

I'm not sure an intensive, professional-level course taught in English will be easy to find and/or affordable.

If you're willing to do 4-8 weeks and have already some training, have you considered staging at a michelin-starred restaurant or similar? You'll probably learn the same.

Yes, I am thinking about it, just go there and look for a restaurant that do what I like to learn (Mediterranean and Moroccan cuisine) but I believe that the best thing for me now is formal training in school.
