Residential Cookery Courses

Overview

After 10 years providing excellent meals for our guests and in response to popular demand (!) we are now offering informal residential cookery courses in France from our Chalet in the Alps.

It is certainly not a course designed to make you into a Cordon Blue chef, the equal of Gordan Ramsey, rather it is to help you learn some basic skills which you can then use to help you when cooking your own recipes.

It is not a French cooking course - the range and scope of the recipes covered will be from all around the world.

Over the 3 days and nights of the course you will learn the advantages of pre-preparing meals when cooking for friends, basic sauces, pastry and an adaptive approach when faced with a new recipe!  As a guest once said, we can all follow a recipe after a fashion, but it helps to have had a hand to hold when looking at new things!

Each day there will be a morning session where your chef will demonstrate some techniques followed by hands on practice.  After lunch cooked by your chef, the afternoon session will be devoted to preparing the evening meal - each student taking either the starter, main course or dessert  to prepare.

In the evening you will sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labour - a 3 course meal including wine and coffee

Other Ingredients!

The maximum number of students participating in the instruction is 6.  This does not include partners or friends not taking part in the cooking element of the holiday.

All equipment, ingredients and literature provided.  You need only bring yourself!

The accommodation is based on 2 people sharing a suite.

Who is the course designed for?

It is for those want to experience and try out new techniques or develop some basic skills. It is for those who want to learn to cook - cookery for beginners if you like. It is for those who love food and want to extend their repertoire or meals.  It is for those who enjoy cooking.  It is for those who want to have fun and are not afraid of making mistakes!  It is for those who want to have a great holiday in France with the bonus of enjoying some excellent food!  It is a cookery holiday in France!

The cookery course can be enjoyed by singles or couples; either friends or partners. 

Should the partner or friend prefer not to take part in the cooking they are free to benefit from the end results in the evening having taken the time to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery around Les Carroz, or some of the surrounding towns and villages - if desired we can supply a guide to take you on more adventurous walks.
