Our Philosophy

gascony_phylosophy_cooking

At The Gascony Cookery School we believe that cooking French food should be enjoyable and accessible for all!  Our cookery school is a family-run business, and we want people to feel as at home as possible in our kitchen; one of our family, and part of the very special French village in which we live.  Combining both of these ethoses means that joining us for a week-long or weekend course at The Gascony Cookery School is a unique, memorable experience.  

When David Chance and Bernard Corbiere first conceived the idea of establishing a French Cookery School in their shared village of Gramont, Gascony, it was with the intention of spreading their passion for French cuisine and of imparting their wisdom and knowledge to students of all ages and abilities.

Through a strictly hands-on cooking experience the two chefs  - one a professional English chef with a passion for French cookery  and the other a French chef with over twenty five years experience of Gallic cuisine - showcase the best of Gascon cookery,  and they do it in such a way that French cuisine becomes simple, accessible and enjoyable for all.  

Whether you're an aspiring professional chef or a complete beginner we can promise you that your time at The Gascony Cookery School will be both rewarding and inspiring.  David and Bernard’s passion for French cuisine combined with The Gascony Cookery School’s idyllic setting in the heart of Gascony will ensure you a truly unique experience of French cookery in France.Whether you cook or not, our philosophy and warm welcome extends to all who visit The Gascony Cookery School. Come dine with us, come stay with us or simply drop in to say ‘hello’!  Our life here at The Gascony Cookery School is all about family, friends, great food and even better wine, and we cannot wait to welcome you all here to be a part of it.

Testimonials

"We have loved every minute of our time in Gascony, the views, village, and the weather have been amazing. We came for the cookery course and found a little bit of heaven, and not just in the food. We are looking forward to returning soon, and learning some more recipes. To David Vikki and Bernard all the best for the future."
