A holiday where you enjoy yourself fully and learn new things. Two wonderful chefs in John-Mark Boyer and Robert Abraham guiding us through many dishes I would never have had the confidence to attempt on my own. Nothing was wasted and my new presentation skills have been put to good use since returning home. Food I had not thought of... More

I can not recommend this course / experience enough!! The French house party gourmet explorer is fun, informative and authentically French. Having a combination of two top French chefs, Jean-marc Boyer and Robert Abraham to encourage, guide, teach and improve the whole groups cookery skills was amazing.
