Language holidays from local linguists

Posted on by ketnerdumond

Have you ever had an on/off love affair with learning another language? Did you begin with passionate enthusiasm only for that to wane after one too many nights stuck in a depressing evening class? A language holiday can reignite that spark.

Learning a language from a native of that country is by far the best way to accelerate your learning. Go on holiday. Rub shoulders with the locals. Go shopping and put your new found words into practice. Linger over coffee in a local cafe, try the local tipple in a neighborhood bar. Away from a classroom, self-consciousness slips away and faltering conversations become animated.

Try French in Paris, Spanish in Barcelona, Italian in Florence, Portuguese in Salvador, Russian in Moscow, Arabic in Morocco, German in Berlin and many more. All taught by local language teachers, passionate about the language and their country. Delve deeper into the culture of a place through the power of language for a holiday less ordinary.

Now you’re talking

Cookery holidays from local chefs

Posted on by ketnerdumond

Cooking should be a pleasure not a chore and for our local chef’s it is just that. Fresh, seasonal, locally produced ingredients all go into the mixing bowl to create authentic dishes.

A cookery holiday reacquaints you with the true taste of food. A home-grown tomato ripened under the Andalucian sun tastes of tomato not of supermarket watery nothingness. Wild asparagus picked from a Tuscan garden. Home cured charcuterie from France. Tangy lemon tart made with home-grown lemons makes all the difference.

Vidados’ chefs love food. They love to pass on their skills, knowledge and recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation.  Chefs from Thailand, Morocco, Spain, Italy, France, Greece, Turkey and Mexico. Cooks who take pleasure in how food can bring people together and nourish you from the inside out.

Regional cooking with culinary insights from around the globe

Vidados has a collection of cooking holidays from around the globe. From Vietnam to Italy and the local chefs are just that, local.  They know what’s in season. What’s local and organic. They know food.

Chef’s who’ll teach you how many types of risotto rice there are, how not to burn garlic, how to grind almonds to perfection, how to forage for wild food, how to bake the best bread and season a plate to perfection.   Some courses also include the all-important plate and presentation of food to take your dinner parties to masterchef levels.

Hands-on cooking and food tasting tours

For those more interested in eating than cooking, Vidados will also feature a range of food tasting tours which include delicious delights such as tapas tours, paella rice tours, olive oil tasting, cheese tasting, Thai street food and more.

Apron-clad travellers can roll up their sleeves and learn to cook regional food in the world’s most delicious locations from France to Japan.   There’s also a range of specialist cookery breaks covering activities such as butchery, pizza making, gelato courses, jamon tasting tours, bread making, fish cookery and more.

Want more than just a cookery holiday?  Vidados’ has carefully collected a great range of cooking plus holidays which combine great cookery lessons with activities such as yoga, horse riding, learning French, Italian, Pilates and more.
