Fresh from the kitchen, enjoyed with a view 🌿

A little apple cake, some caramelised apples, a spoonful of cream… and suddenly it’s the perfect moment 🍏✨

Some moments in the kitchen are a little bit of cooking… and a lot of magic ✨

Fillets of beef, gently basted in butter, a splash of Armagnac flambéed with green pepper, and a team effort to bring everything together.

A cooking experience where we learn, cook, share, and savour the results together 🤍

Because the best moments are often the ones shared around the table.

Last week was the hottest one ever recorded in May here! 🥵
This is my group of warriors on the May seasonal cooking course.
Laughters, happy chattering, champagne and chocolate all round in Nérac, for our last excursion of the week.

A little twist on a classic Italian favourite 🍓✨

This strawberry tiramisu is all about layers: ladyfingers soaked in strawberry purée with a splash of blackcurrant liqueur (because a little fun never hurts 😉), a silky mascarpone cream made with egg yolks and sugar, lightened with a touch of whipped cream… because strawberries and cream were simply meant to be together.

Add fresh Gariguette strawberries, repeat the layers, and finish with a pretty strawberry pattern on top ❤️

A dessert that tastes like summer in a glass ☀️🍓

Wednesday morning on the Seasonal French Cooking Course means market day. 🍒🍓🍑

A wander through the colourful stalls, baskets overflowing with ripe cherries, fragrant strawberries and sun-kissed apricots... the perfect inspiration for a week of French seasonal cooking.

This is where our menus begin: with the freshest produce, the changing seasons, and a little bit of market magic.

A quick flip, a careful plate-up… and our sty8arter is served. 🍅✨
This week's guests have been making tomato tatins in the kitchen, turning a handful of simple ingredients into something beautifully golden, sweet, and savoury. The hardest part? Waiting long enough to take a photo before diving in.

Day 1 of this week's French cooking course, and what better way to start than with baguettes? 🥖

From shaping the dough to pulling beautifully golden loaves from the oven, there's something incredibly satisfying about baking France's most iconic bread.

And this was only the beginning of the week... 🇫🇷

The cherries are ripe, the shade of the tilleuls is waiting, and with 35°C on the forecast this week, our seasonal French cooking course might just include a few extra pauses in the garden… 🍒☀️
A beautiful start to another week of cooking, sharing, and summer in rural France.

Chocolate, salted caramel, ganache, cream… this tart has the structural integrity of fine pâtisserie and the emotional impact of a bad decision made in excellent lighting. ✨

These little beauties were made during our April pâtisserie course, where self-control was tested severely and “I’ll just take a tiny slice” became a complete work of fiction.

The sort of sunrise that makes you briefly consider becoming the kind of person who wakes up cheerfully at 5:45am every day.
Then the coffee kicks in and you remember who you are. ✨
