* About the location: Martina and Philippe Capel are a wonderful young couple. Their energy and dedication are obvious in every aspect of the hotel and restaurant. Martina, a graduate of a Swiss hospitality school, had always dreamed of owning her own hotel. She moved to Provence, met Philippe, and together they found the lovely four star Domaine de Valmouriane. It is an enchanting place of just twelve rooms on a parklike property of six hectares. This is an idyllic countryside retreat in the foothills of the Alpilles mountain range, located just outside of St-Remy de Provence, one of the most fashionable towns of Provence.

* About the lessons: Chef Pascal Volle, the young and enthusiastic chef of the hotel's popular restaurant “Le Saint-Georges" will guide you through Provençal recipes, assisted in translation by Philippe. Just a few of the dishes you may prepare are lobster cannelloni, herbed Provencal rack of lamb, and asparagus with salmon. Your morning lessons will concentrate on the preparation of a complete menu, including fabulous French desserts! In the evenings you will have the opportunity to cook with Chef Pascal in the kitchen of "Le Saint-Georges."
