runs cooking and wine tours in the Lamguedoc region
of France. The cooking courses can be form two to five
days and specialise in the cuisine of the region which
has influences from Spain, Africa and the Far East.
The courses are 'hands-on' lessons, not just demonstrations
of cooking techniques. The courses specialise in the
art of presentation and the principles of cordon-bleu
cuisine. Anything is possible on these holidays and
you could choose to do whatever you want. For example
you could have a two week or ten day holiday with a
four day cookery course and two days of wine tours and
several days of relaxation.

of different styles and cultures of cuisine. She guides
students through the practical skills involved in preparation,
but also the presentation of the finished dish. You

emphasis on wine as well as food, tours and a lot of
hands on lessons.
