Our Ethos
More cookery holiday than cookery school in France...
Says our chef:
"It may sound a bit high and mighty, but there is an ethos surrounding cookery - it's that feeling of pure pleasure that cooking and eating great food gives. That's what I would want to convey on your cookery holiday."
Cookinfrance is not a cookery school run by some Fanny Craddock lookalike standing beneath a slanted mirror so the 'students' can get a precious glimpse of the 'creations' - there will be none of that here, this is a cookery holiday!
"Just as we enjoy eating food, we should learn to love cooking it too. During your cookery holiday we'll demystify and dismantle Haute Cuisine and repackage it in a more user-friendly and rustic form"
".....during the week we'll get to know each other while gutting fish, boning legs of lamb and kneading dough, all at the same table".
Activities on your cookery holiday might include:
-
spending a morning buying ingredients at the local market
-
an afternoon at a 17th C. fish farm selecting really fresh fish and cooking it for a cosy supper
-
an evening spent around the barbecue watching the sun go down with a glass of local red in your hand
-
an afternoon lolling around by the pool
-
sight-seeing
-
paddling a canoe lazily down the Dordogne river...
