I had the best time with Chef Eric at the Walnut Grove! I learned broad stroke cooking techniques as well as details in presentation and plating that I will take back with me to enhance my daily cooking! He was very knowledgable and created a fun and creative environment in the kitchen. Wonderful experience!

You can learn French cuisine from a book, or a school wherever you live, but why would you do that when you could travel to the French countryside and learn in a small-group setting with an accomplished French chef?...... In any case, book the class. You won't regret it.

The course is amazing! No better feeling than waking up to some warm baguette and finishing the day with proper fine french dining and a glass of port wine. the course is an amazing experience overall. 10/10 would recommend and be back for a part 2!

The course itself provides a deep knowledge and nuance that only someone as experienced as Chef Eric could provide. I learned so many things that can’t be taught at a distance or through textbooks, truly gaining an understanding of the texture, the taste, the craftsmanship required in cooking great food.

First of all, Eric is an amazingly talented and experienced chef. His skill, quiet confidence and ability to teach, made for an extremely productive 6 days. I got exactly what I’d hoped for, a comprehensive introduction to French cooking techniques as well as the ever important presentation of dishes.
