Food for Thought Study Course in France

Your group can choose a centre for our Food for Thought course in either the Opal Coast or Normandy. In St Fraimbault our course is based at the Gîte Bellevue. Our chef, Gregoire, is bi-lingual, having worked in London. He currently works in France as a chef and cookery instructor and has his own restaurant in St. Fraimbault. Recipes demonstrated will be based on local produce and include dishes such as local river trout in cider and cream sauce, Camembert and Nettle pie!

In the Opal Coast groups stay in Le Touquet, Camiers, Stella Plage or Montreuil. Cookery demonstrations take place at a local restaurant or hotel. Demonstrations are given on meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and patisserie. Recipes are changed each year. A highlight of the week is the Crêpe Evening.
