点评:Found this cookery school online when looking for things to do on holiday and trusted the good reviews. Big mistake. I booked to do a course that was called a Taste of Tuscany and which listed loads of different dishes on the website like squid, sardines, risotto, gnocchi etc. Before booking, (less than a week before), I asked some questions. I was told they couldn't tell me the exact menu but there would be 'plenty of choices'.
It lists it's address as Truro, but it is half an hour's drive from Truro in the middle of the countryside only accessible by narrow windy roads and has no phone signal, which we found very difficult. Having arrived after a harrowing journey, it turned out to essentially be a pasta making course as we only made fresh pasta and a tomato based dish - essentially pasta sauce that i could have knocked up myself at home.. There was also only one demonstration, which was a different, uninspiring sauce to go with the pasta we had made. If I had wanted to learn to make pasta I would have booked a pasta making course. There were supposed to be 4 different dishes and include skills that did not manifest and it was also sold as a two course dinner where everyone would eat together, which we did not. Essentially I had nothing to eat except two tastes of dishes that were passed round. I decided to write to them afterwards as I was upset I had been misled - and had given up time on my holiday, but they basically denied what had been promised to me, even though it was in writing -and then had the cheek to tell me how wonderful everyone else thinks they are, which speaks volumes about their attitude! Please be warned!
翻译:在寻找假期活动时在网上发现了这所烹饪学校,并相信了它的好评。但大错特错。我预订了一门名为“托斯卡纳风味”的课程,网站上列出了许多不同的菜肴,如鱿鱼、沙丁鱼、意大利烩饭、意式土豆团子等。预订前(不到一周前),我问了一些问题。他们告诉我他们不能告诉我确切的菜单,但会“有很多选择”。学校列出的地址是特鲁罗,但距离特鲁罗半小时车程,位于乡村中部,只能通过狭窄蜿蜒的道路进入,而且没有手机信号,这对我们来说非常困难。经过一段艰难的旅程后,我们到达了这里,结果发现这基本上是一个意大利面制作课程,因为我们只做了新鲜意大利面和一道番茄菜肴——基本上是意大利面酱,我可以自己在家做......而且只有一次演示,那是一种与我们做的意大利面搭配的不同的、毫无新意的酱汁。如果我想学做意面,我早就报名了。课程里说有四道不同的菜,还包含一些我没学到的技巧,而且课程还说是两道菜的套餐,大家一起吃,但我们没吃。基本上除了点了两道菜,我什么都没吃。我决定事后给他们写信,因为我很生气自己被误导了——而且浪费了假期时间。但他们基本上否认了之前对我的承诺,尽管是书面的——然后还厚颜无耻地告诉我,其他人都觉得他们有多棒,这充分说明了他们的态度!请大家注意!
