Looking for a cooking course in France for your next holiday?

 

 At Le Gargantua, we offer 5 days or 2 days cookery courses in Gascony, South West France. Join us to practice traditional French cuisine in our hands-on workshops, and benefit from the tuition of a French cook (might as well, when it comes to French cooking).

 

At Le Gargantua, we make sure you learn to cook dishes that you will enjoy producing back home for years to come, from dinner parties to every-day family meals. Of course we also make sure that you have great fun in the process... It is your holiday after all! 

 

 

 

Our cookery courses are designed for beginners as well as more experimented cooks, and introduce you to South-West cuisine as well as help you master classic French cooking techniques.

 

Your accommodation in our guest house is included in all our cooking holiday packages, and all our cooking breaks are full board.

 

 

 

Our Courses:

 

French Pastry, 4 days/3 nights

- Day 1: You arrive in the afternoon. We get to know each other over a welcome drink and canapés. Basically, you just settle in and make yourself at home. We meet up for a 3 course dinner.

 

- Day 2: After breakfast we go to a pâtisserie, to get a few classics, that we will sample at the terrasse of a café (is the weather allows it). We come back for lunch. From 2.00 pm, we meet in the kitchen, to reproduce some of the pastries we sampled. They will be served for dessert that very same night.

 

- Day 3: After breakfast we meet in the kitchen, to start baking. We will stop for lunch and finish our pastries early enough in the afternoon to give you some free time. Once again, your creations will be served for dessert that very same night.

 

- Day 4: Breakfast. Departure.

 

Examples of pastries we make: chocolate and coffee eclairs or religieuses, fruit tartlets, mille-feuilles, bavarois, charlotte, crêpes, 2-chocolate-mousse gâteau, lemon tart, brioche.
