What our customers think of the cooking class:

""Private cooking lesson My husband and I stumbled upon this wonderful place in St. Remy through our Airbnb host. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon on our honeymoon. We learned all about Provencal cooking and had a tour of the eclectic garden and grounds from our eccentric host, Philippe Michelot and his lovely wife Anne Marie. Our cooking lesson was very informative but not too laborious as Phillipe did much of the leg work. We had a wide variety of Provencal dishes (olive tapenade, hummus provencal style, caviare d'aubergene, basil pesto, fresh bread and veggies) leading up to our main dish of slow cooked veal in Philippe's signature stewed tomato soup/sauce. The conversations, wine and appetizers flowed freely and we ended the day with a seasonal fruit crumble and espresso overlooking their beautiful landscape. Almost all ingredients were from Philippe's garden, including his fantastic home made olive oil....you can feel his passion in everything, giving the experience that extra flare!Thank you Philippe and Anne-Marie...we will be back!Lisa & Tariqh "
