COOKING SCHOOLS
Camp San Miguel
We Celebrated Our 14th Year in San Miguel, Mexico
In our 14th year offering classes in San Miguel, Mexico, attendees joined us for seven days in this artist community for cooking classes, cultural events, shopping adventures, and grand dinners. Located high in the mountains north of Mexico City, this colonial town (now a UNESCO World Heritage Site) was listed by Conde Nast Traveler as the 8th best travel destination in the world. Famous for its mild high desert climate and colonial architecture, San Miguel de Allende is known for its art galleries, craft shops, outdoor markets, art and language institutes, fine restaurants, and a large expatriate population drawn from throughout the world. It's a town of cobblestone streets, pealing church bells, intense colors, and endless holy days, fiestas, and celebrations. Hugh and his wife, Teri Sandison, have been visiting San Miguel de Allende for years. They know many of San Miguel's artists, writers, gallery owners, and townspeople, and have used these contacts to create an "insider's" tour to one of the world's most romantic and captivating small towns. Hugh and Teri hosted every event throughout the week, each limited to only 12 people per session.
Camp Napa Culinary
Camp Napa Culinary Celebrated Its 28th Year!
In our 28th year, Camp Napa Culinary presented an "insider's" tour to Napa Valley's elite small wineries, great kitchens and homes, limited to just 14 attendees. Hugh and his wife, photographer Teri Sandison, were the hosts for every event throughout the week. Highlighting the program were five participation cooking classes. Each morning we met at a different winery or at a great Napa Valley estate for participation cooking classes taught by some of Napa Valley's best known chefs, followed by a wonderful lunch. Then in the late afternoons we gathered at small Napa Valley wineries that are never open to the public, where we tasted some of Napa Valley's greatest wines.
