" A lovely experience. Thank You Happy Hours "
Hong Kong celebrity model Callie Roberts took a Happy Hours Cooking Holiday in Positano, on the Amalfi coast. Check out her story.
" Situated along the Amalfi Coast, Positano is a little gem of a town hidden on the edge of the front boot part of Italy. The car journey was a blissful 'coast' around the mountains scaling high above the shimmering emerald sea. "
"We stayed at the Alcione Residence- a well-kept family run B&B with outstanding views, situated less than a 5 minute amble from the beach. Surrounded by restaurants, quaint cafes, shops, churches, old cobblestone paves and artisan studios, Alcione Residence was wonderfully situated in a prime location. "
"What's more, we were greeted with hospitable warmth (as in true Italian fashion) which continued throughout our stay."
"Our room was large and colorful with a terrace overlooking the sea. Breakfast was served here every morning- a selection of warm freshly baked pastries, Italian smooth coffees and conserves"
"Included in the progam were two cooking classes at a Trattoria Restaurant. Renowned Chef Salvatore and his family humbly welcomed us (a group of six hungry tourists) to their 'home'. Two hours were spent prepping the ingredients, taking turns to 'have a go', learning fascinating things about the area, it's traditions and cultures, listening carefully to what Mamas secret ingredient's were in her recipes, laughing, munching on a never ending pile of morning-baked biscotti, frequent toasts with glasses of sparkling Prosecco, pertaining to childish flour fights, licking bowls (yes, with fingers), and finally being served up a storm to the adjoining outdoor Restaurant."
"We learnt how to cook soulful but simplistic Italian staples such as authentic Antipasti, Stuffed Cheeses, Rustic Bread, Risotto and Home Made Taggiatelli. Followed by a heart-attack prompting Tiramasu, mercilessly washed down with copious amounts of various Italian liquors.. of which I cannot for the life of me remember the names of. Just the colors. "
"A lovely experience all in all. Thanks to Happy Hours "
