Traditionally, cookery schools in Italy have
been for the wealthy and retired or semi-retired, and to a large
extent, in Tuscany, they still are. It is, in the end, who can
best afford such prices. But here in provincial Italy, real life
is still very affordable. It’s allowed us to keep our classes
available to a diverse range of people from various age groups,
nations and economic backgrounds.

Pricing Information:
Week-long
courses:

This is our premium product and what we do best (if
only because you’ll
have the time to really get a sense of the place and the people here). Price
covers everything except Wednesday lunch, once you arrive in Lecce (most eat
only a sandwich out in preparation of our sausage making that night). Course
begins Sunday night and runs until Friday night, although we help you with your
Saturday departure.
Weekend courses:
920 Euro per person
795 Euro per person– Double Occupancy
A teasing taste of what we do. Price covers everything, once you arrive in Lecce.
Courses start at 8:00 p.m. on Friday night runs until Sunday evening, around
midnight.
Day
courses:
350 Euro per person
For those just travelling through. Price covers all lessons and
meals (but not transportation nor lodging). These courses tend
to be for those already in Lecce, often for other reasons. We meet
at 10 a.m. in the city’s main piazza and
go until midnight, often taking a 3-hour break in the centre of the day. |

available), and free of charge. There are no refunds should students miss classes
or meals, either by electing to do so, or by late arrival or early departure.

This to date has never happened.

Students must sign a legal waiver freeing the The Awaiting Table and its staff
from any legal liability. This form must be signed and emailed before arrival.
This is an industry standard.

from the following causes: fire, acts of government, thefts, delays, cancellations
or for any other events with which we have no control.
