On the menu this season
For this edition, we’re taking our cooks on an exciting and tasty culinary adventure spread out over 5 themed days: J’y vais molo, J’ai envie d’umami, Je mets la main à la pâte, Je passe à l’action et Opa! J’ai l'esprit festif! How does cooking breakfast all day sound? Or juggling fresh, savoury and sweet pasta doughs? Our youngsters will explore the intensity of Asian flavours and discover umami, the mysterious fifth flavour. They will also learn about sustainable food and take part in La Tablée des Chefs’ mission. To conclude their gourmet week, our chefs will explore our in-house chef’s Greek roots and you will be invited to try some of their creations. Once again this year we are privileged to have renowned and generous chefs share their recipes and tips with your youngsters. As always, places are limited, so book your spot soon!
