What the Experience Is Like
Hands-On, Every Day
You cook daily using classical French methods, guided step by step. This is not a demonstration — you are actively cooking, tasting, adjusting, and learning
throughout the week.
​
Personal Instruction
With no more than six guests, instruction is individual and thoughtful.
Teaching adapts to your level, your pace, and your questions.
Seasonal, Real Cooking
Meals are built around local produce, traditional techniques, and the rhythm of a real French kitchen — from market selection to final plating.
​
By the end of the retreat, guests leave with:
​
-
A clear understanding of classical French techniques
-
The ability to cook confidently without relying on strict recipes
-
A deeper sense of timing, seasoning, and structure
-
Skills that transfer naturally to their home kitchen
This retreat is not about how many dishes you cook.
It’s about how well you understand what you’re doing.
