Culinary ExpeditionsSMELL THE HEAVENLY FRAGRANCE OF SAFFRON-INFUSED RISOTTO CON FUNGHI PORCINI AS IT SLOWLYthickens over an open flame in an ancient hearth in a private Tuscan villa. Join us on our culinaryexpeditions and soon you’ll be hosting sit-down dinner parties twice a week and dazzling yourfriends with your homemade aioli.The concept of Culinary Expeditions is a little something that we cooked up (we couldn’t resist) with our“foodie” friends around the world. These trips combine an entertaining mix of hands-on cooking withvisits to the kitchens of local chefs and tastings with artisanal producers and winemakers. We seek todiscover the traditions and specialties of each region and examine how the local produce and ingredientschange with different seasons. The itineraries are designed to appeal both to enthusiastic cooks and thosewho simply enjoy good food and good wine and have a passion for the art de vivre. Daily activities leavetime for individual exploration of local villages, lively markets and historic sites, and our guest chefsand instructors are chosen not for their names, but for their ability to communicate a genuine passionfor the regional cuisine. Roll up your sleeves and come join us in the kitchen.H ORIZON &C O. Exploratory Series 2006
