The experience will include your arrival meal where you will meet the others joining you for the cooking day, and on day 1 you will be treated to a traditional french breakfast and then we will head off to the kitchen for the day where we will create fabulous food for lunch and sit down to enjoy your hard work.
After lunch we will reconvene and start on the prep for our evening meal again we will cook the meal and sit down and enjoy your hard work in a relaxing environment, with local wine and of course weather permitting we will enjoy this outside in the sun drenched gardens.
