Cookery for Beginners

During each 2 - 3 hour course, we will teach you to create a complete meal with a starter, a main course and a dessert, using my recipes. I will tell you my secrets about the using of spices, of making medieval sauces and even the making of medieval vin.

We will sometimes go together to the Châtellerault market, or another or even a supermarket not just to buy the ingredients but also for you to see and note the things you will be able to buy where you live or the nearest alternative. You will learn tips to adapt our recipes to your taste and the products available "chez vous".

Our goal is that you will be able to repeat all that you have learned in your own country, surprising your guests' tastebuds with authentic French and Medieval Cooking. To help you with this we will show you how and you will help us do. You may of course take notes and film what is going on if you wish.

We will share the meals together, for the conversation, conviviality and friendliness. The courses will be conducted in French - you will improve your French! Do not panic, our level of English allows us to communicate with you when you get stuck or you feel hesitant with your level of French.
