COOKERY SCHOOL

If you have a passion for food and want to learn from our expert Chef, we have a very simple approach to cookery. We use the very best seasonal produce and cook food that you could replicate for special occasions or even adapt as daily recipes to prepare at home. Philippe Brillant's cookery courses cater for all levels of cooking ability and you will leave with confidence and enthusiasm, impatient to return to your own kitchen to experiment!

Philippe provides three types of cookery lessons.

1) Lecon de Cuisine Particuliere - Personally Tailored Intimate Classes

Available for one or two people at the Academy, these intimate lessons are tailored to the requirements of the individual, including learning to prepare a specific dish. This bespoke course is created to enhance your cooking skills and help you gain confidence in the kitchen: from basic knife skills to the preparation and cooking of food with professional cooking tips from Philippe. This is a hands-on opportunity to develop your culinary skills in a practical and supportive learning environment.

"Many thanks to you and your helpers for another wonderful demonstration session today, and an excellent lunch.
