Flavours of The Mediterranean - Southern French Cookery
Join the Vegetarian Cookery School for an exciting culinary
break in the beautiful surroundings of
Chateau Ventenac, a 19th century stone castle in the Languedoc
region of Southern France.
Our five day/four night (monday to friday) residential course will
give you the opportunity to learn seasonal Mediterranean cookery
with Rachel Demuth, owner of the award winning Demuth’s
Vegetarian Restaurant in Bath, now in its 20th year and Jo Ingleby,
experienced chef and cookery tutor.
The course includes four cookery sessions with a combination of hands on cookery and demonstration where we will create delicious Mediterranean meals together using the best seasonal vegetables, local oils and wines. We will visit a local market, visit local producers and have a special wine tasting with Juliet Bruce Jones, Master of Wine.
Surrounded by stunning countryside and the nearby Canal du Midi you will have plenty of time to relax, swim and unwind and, of course, sample the local specialities.
