Cooking In The Cuisine 2025

This stay at Château de Gudanes presents an immersive culinary experience, where each day we shall gather in the château’s cuisine for cooking classes to guide you along a journey to discover the art of French cuisine, blending 18th-century recipes with contemporary techniques. Through a combination of hands-on instruction and demonstrations with our chef de cuisine and pastry chef you shall learn the preparation of timeless sweet and savoury French fare, from traditional rustic dishes dating as far back as the 18th Century to modern refined French cuisine. Together we shall visit bustling local markets, where vibrant stalls overflow with fresh, seasonal produce. These ingredients – rich butter, fragrant herbs, and exceptional cheeses – will form the foundation of our cooking, allowing you to connect deeply with the traditional flavors that have long defined French gastronomy. As you cook, you will uncover the rich history behind these recipes, tracing the cultural legacy and culinary evolution that have shaped France’s gastronomic traditions over the centuries. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned home chef, this experience is designed to cater to all skill levels, offering an enriching opportunity to deepen your understanding and appreciation of French culinary heritage.
