What to expect
Your host greets you at the market, pointing out seasonal produce, cured meats, cheeses and pantry staples that define local cooking. You'll handle items, ask questions and understand why certain choices matter. Back at their home, you'll stand beside them as they work through dishes, often with your hands involved in prep or assembly. The meal unfolds course by course at their table, unhurried, with wine poured generously. Conversation flows; you're eating how locals do, not performing for tourists.
