Come Cruise the Mediterranean with Me

ANCIENT WONDERS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE – SPECIAL OFFER
September 11 to 21, 2009

Hi Folks,

As you know, one of the best ways to expand your culinary horizons is through travel. There is simply no better way to experience great cuisine than in its natural context. So, I wanted to give you a heads up about my travel plans for this coming September—in fact, I’m hoping you’ll be able to join me. From September 11 to 21, 2009, I’ll be sailing in style and comfort aboard the M.S. LE DIAMANT, an intimate, deluxe oceangoing vessel. Come with me as we cruise across the heart of Mediterranean exploring the culinary, archaeological and cultural treasures of coastal Italy, including Sicily and the legendary ancient Greek site of Delphi, before concluding on the beautiful shores of Turkey’s exquisite Ephesus, Troy and Istanbul. Throughout the journey, we’ll enjoy all sorts of opportunities for special tastings and tours, and I’ll discuss a broad variety of culinary topics during a special lecture series.

The genius of this particular itinerary is that it combines an array of optional culinary tours, meals and workshops with some of the region’s greatest cultural and historical treasures. So in between visits to the magnificent monuments of Rome, Florence and Ephesus, we’ll have the unique opportunities to explore great culinary traditions, including a special olive workshop in the hill country of Tuscany, a delectable lunch of cucina Romana and tour of the legendary Campo di Fiori market in Rome, and a specially arranged opportunity to bake fresh bread and feast on traditional delicacies with local residents of an ancient Turkish village.
