 The
Chef - Laurent
“Cooking should be relaxing and fun. During the
classes I try and get the guests to think like chefs
and be creative. It is great to hear from people who
have recreated the dishes after the course.
As a chef I have been lucky enough to have worked
in different parts of the world from Toronto to Caracas.
My time abroad has influenced the way I cook for example
I'll make a tuna tartar with Indian spices!
La Rochelle has always been home for me which is
why after many years of travelling, I decided to return.
One of my favourite things to do in summer is go for
a family picnic on the nearby Island, Ile de l'Aix.
The coast is beautiful and from April it starts to
get really warm. Life is simple here; all you need
is good food and good wine!”
