Guidebooks often call Ristorante Corte Sconta the best fish restaurant in Venice. My brother, who travels more than most travel writers and cooks better than most chefs, is just back from a vacation in the Mediterranean. He says "best in Venice" is beside the point; he insists it's the best fish restaurant on earth. Your thoughts?

It's Cocktail Hour time at The World on Wheels. Today, it's a couple of cool Belgian beauties on the patio: http://tinyurl.com/2bq8oao

I'm surprised the iron wasn't scorched brown. Did the flour protect it?

Everyone else: It is hilarious, as Jose says. Sally, you asked an important question.

Or can George Egg make panini with the trouser press?

Hilarious! But can he make croissants with a hair dryer?

Seriously, what George Egg does in the video below is amazing, but personally, when I travel, I'd rather sample the local cuisine. Has anyone else on here tried serious cooking in their hotel room?

Hi Sally - we offer a number of cooking class vacations in Tuscany - each is geared to provide a different experience depending on your needs/desires and the number of people traveling. One is set just outside of Florence and is very hands-on and all inclusive. Another is set in the charming walled-town of Lucca - 3 hands-on classes with more free time - perfect for those who have been to Florence and want a convenient base from which to explore Tuscany. The third is set in the village of Panzano in Chianti - 3 hands-on classes and lots of free time - true Tuscany and a spot where you are likely to be one of the only non-locals in town. This location is better for those who like to drive and explore on their own. I am happy to send you detailed information on these options if you are interested. You can reach me on lhaltzel@culinaryquests.com. I look forward to hearing from you!

Loved George egg's cookery demo. i just would have used the hotel's free plastic shower cap to cover the rising dough.

Can anyone recommend a cookery school in Tuscany?

Just heard a great story on NPR today about how Brit comedian George Egg cooks his meals away from home using standard hotel room amenities: coffeemaker, iron, even, believe it or not, the Gideon Bible. I think you foodies will get a real kick out of the video. Bon appétit!
