We will always remember our
time here. I have learned so much (I’ll be micro waving lemons from
now on!) and it’s been wonderful to get to know you and spend time
with my adored daughter before she goes off to Uni. Thank you for
everything, - I’m grateful to Google for finding you! Good luck I’ll do my best to spread the word!

Thank you so much for a
fantastic few days – I’ve really
enjoyed all the cooking as well as spending time with you all. It is so
friendly and welcoming here and your hospitality has made it even more of
a brilliant few days!! It should set me up nicely

A great few
days, hard work but relaxing as well. Learnt loads of things and
enjoyed eating the results. Eating en famille
made the whole atmosphere really friendly an the
gîte style breakfast and accommodation gave us a bit of privacy as well.
Max should grow up to be a great food critic! I’m
also proud to have gained the honor of the blue plaster!

It was a fantastic experience!
We had one of the best weekends both for the culinary
experience and the peaceful and hospitable atmosphere. Chris and Denise are warm and inviting people which makes the weekend very unique. We learned
to cook every dish we devised! We loved the market day and our last
dinner was a WINNER! Thank you

Thank you both for a wonderful
time and helping me to gain my confidence in cooking, especially desserts.
I did enjoy the cooking classes and the hospitality is second to once (1st

back soon.

Thank you both for a fantastic
time. We all really enjoyed it. The cooking classes were great and
“Chef West” was a great teacher. The hospitality was second to none and young Max is without a shadow of a
doubt the best mannered food critic we have met, thanks again, we will be
back soon.

Thank you both for such a
wonderful few days. As a budding cook I’m taking away lots of
lovely recipes and tips and feel so much more confident about trying new
things, especially the hot chocolate fondant! You’ve made mum and me
so welcome and the divine Max has been an education in adventurous
eating. Bon courage et bonne chance with the restaurant and one day I may
bring Mathew here for dinner on the terrace.
Lucie Moore, Monaco

Thank you! Everything I hoped
for and so much more! I have learnt so much from you both and now can not
wait to put my knowledge to the test” But I will not have Max to
give my marks out of 10! I look forward to my return. Thank you again.

Thank you for a terrific week.
Great food, wine and company and comfortable and relaxing surroundings

couldn’t have hoped for a better holiday. Thank you

“a
massive thank you for such a fun and informative day
Kirk's reaction was marvelous
- we shared the starters with some clients he was talking to when I got home
- thumbs up all round! and then we had the fish which was declared to be
delicious but the crowning glory was the pud -
(he is having the second one on Sunday!) 'light and utterly
fantastic'”
|
|
|
What a wonderful week! Thank you
so much for all your kindness and hospitality. The cookery lessons were
enormously enjoyable and have given us more confidence in the kitchen.

A really happy and informative

Thank you both for a super
day. I really, really enjoyed it and Paul agreed the food was great.
Thank you both for a super
‘Thai Day’ We both really enjoyed it. It was fun as well as factual
and the results were yummy.

Thank you both so much for a
really super day yesterday. I so enjoyed it, as I'm sure everyone
else did too. You had clearly put in a huge amount of effort into
making it all work and I certainly came away feeling that I had learnt a
lot from the experience. I'm not a confident cook, especially when
dealing with pastry (in fact I've never made my own) but now I shall be
happy to make the sweet pastry that we prepared. The lunch was absolutely
delicious and the day just passed too quickly!

I am writing to thank you both
for a thoroughly enjoyable & instructive day. I am not alone in
thinking that the whole thing went very well indeed from start to finish -
I am ashamed to say I was pretty tired when I got home - must have been
all the alcohol !!!!
I think you have a very
professional set up - good surroundings, equipment and a friendly but
professional manner.
Thank you once again & for
your warm hospitality.
|
|
|
I think you must know by now
that what you are doing is just fantastic.
Thank you for such a fun,
instructive and delicious day. You were both so generous with your time,
ingredients, enthusiasm and the lunch-scrummy!
We thank you, and wish you
both a fulfilled and successful future in your French home and business.
|
|
Thank you very much indeed, it was a great day. I think you did it
so professionally and we all enjoyed it very much. I think what you do is
great!

A rather belated note to say
thank you for a fantastic day on Friday. I have never attended a cookery
course before and I had no idea what to expect but
I enjoyed every minute. I really don't know where the 8 hours went
to. The whole day was well organised, the kitchen well equipped and the
two of you couldn't have made us feel more welcome. The food was really
delicious too......
|
|
|
Thank you for welcoming me to
your lovely home and exposing me to your new venture
which I am sure will be a great success.
I thoroughly enjoyed the whole
experience, being a bit of a 'foodie' myself it
was personally right up my street so to speak however, it is certainly
something I would be delighted in recommending to friends and visitors
alike.
Thank you once again for a
very professional, relaxed and most enjoyable day. Got to go now as we
are just about to tuck into the fruits of today's labour!
|

What a really enjoyable &
informative day we had with you both ~ thank you so very much for making
it such a success & having us all & sharing your kitchen !
Everything was so well prepared & you had obviously put such a long
of time & thought into every aspect & detail. We, of
course, thanks to you, had a delicious dinner, all ready to go...all very
popular & it all tasted just as good as it looked !
You have a wonderful product
& am very confident you will have all the success you deserve in
the future.

Where do I
start, what a great day and fun too. I'm glad you have created a
residential course as I am thinking of moving in permanently! I
leant so much in just 8 hours, I will definitely be back. The food
we prepared was delicious; it has given me much more confidence to try
new dishes. I have no doubt that your school will be a huge success and
we will see many more Bonne Bouffe's
popping up all over Europe.

Thanks for a really fabulous day – everyone has thoroughly
enjoyed their meal and is impressed. It was a fun, informative time with
a good mix of information and tips.
|
|
|
Thank you both for a wonderful day. You both are very professional
with enormous warmth; the whole day was very well thought out. Chris is lovely
and gave us some very valuable techniques that were good to learn. It was
great the way every one got to take part and join in. It was a well
planned day & a lot of effort had obviously been put into it.
