Culinary Vacation France
A relaxed friendly hands-on residential culinary vacation in France...
Learn to cook great food in a converted stone barn with an English Masterchef in the Dordogne, France. Using classic and contemporary recipes from around the world, employ hands-on culinary techniques guided and aided by your English host and chef, Jim Fisher.
Want to cook like a chef?
If you have ever wanted to cook and present dishes like the professionals and TV chefs you will be able to learn how on your culinary vacation in France. If you enjoy cooking among friends and like-minded people in a warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere, where you can learn to cook but won't be punished for every mistake - as at a formal culinary school - then cookinfrance is for you.
So, a culinary vacation in France rather than a formal culinary school, here you will learn to cook with techniques you can later use to simplify your busy home life, and impress family and friends.
Use fresh local ingredients...
Throughout your culinary vacation, using fresh local ingredients, you will be preparing, cooking and, most importantly, eating local, Mediterranean and 'Pacific rim' cuisine. In so doing you will learn to cook:
-
pastries, breads and soups
-
learn how to select and prepare the best fish and sea food
-
butcher common joints of meat
-
learn to cook classic French and Italian sauces
-
construct modern dressings
-
discover the art of professional contemporary food presentation
On your culinary vacation we will introduce you to ways of cooking exciting and varied vegetarian food (and we're not talking 'nut roasts' here!), and rediscover some great childhood food favourites.
Learn to cook French food in France.
Learn to cook on a barbecue without incinerating food, family and friends. And whilst you learn to cook in France, you can stay at our comfortable self catering gite accommodation. Or, if you have your own self catering accommodation nearby, just come and cook.
Non-participants are also welcome to stay at our gite.
