Cooking with Friends

Session Time Frame
The program runs weekly May through June and September through November. Classes may be booked individually at other times of the year, based upon availability.

Sessions run a total of 5 days, starting with Sunday evening supper and ending with breakfast Friday morning. Special arrangements can be made for U.S. flights arriving before 4:00 PM Sunday.

Classes
Classes will cover basic cooking techniques, tricks and adaptable recipes that can be used in all levels of cooking, with an emphasis on taking the fear out of experimentation. There will be complete menus showing how individual elements can be used in other recipes. Lunches will have several dishes, but will stay on the lighter side.

Class size is limited to six. Guests of all levels of expertise can participate.

Accommodation
Guests stay at “La Pitchoune”, a private home originally owned and occupied by Julia & Paul Child. The house is typically Provençal style, with tiled roofs and colored shutters. Rooms are double occupancy with private baths. Private rooms may be arranged, based on availability, for an additional charge.
