Our mission has always been to provide really authentic gastronomic and cultural experiences, far from the well-trodden tourist circuits and into the homes, restaurants and kitchens of people with real food soul.

 

We sample everything, from the chic to the humble because ... variety is the spice of life! This year we have added an extra day (for the same price) to allow guests more time to soak - or buy - up the local colour. And due to constant badgering from potential guests, an extra destination: the incredibly exotic and hip city of Marrakesh.

 

As usual the most difficult task has been to choose between all those delicious recipes ... those tempting wines ... those magical interiors ... those overflowing markets .... Someone's got to do it - why not you? I hope you can join us.

To get to the real heart and soul of a culture means understanding how and what it eats. A culture's cuisine confirms its sense of belonging, bringing alive ancestral memories through stories of local traditions and daily life.

These are passed down through the genes and the fingertips. Cooking is living history. Deeply understood, joyously shared. This has been my raison d'être for more than thirty years. Our culinary weeks go in search of this. In Morocco, where time passes on slippered feet, we divide our stay between the rural charms of authentic Berber hospitality, and the riotous but sophisticated life of Marrakesh's medina. Moroccan food is aromatic, they have a million kinds of pastries, eat with their fingers and the men call you gazelle.

In Southern France we hole up for the week in a glorious pastel-tinted Mas (country home) outside the medieval splendour of Uzès, and venture forth daily to experience the intoxicating, colourful and sensual cuisine that is Provençe. Sybaritic pleasures and cultural insights ... Say au revoir to all you knew before and enter into our charmed and poetic gastronomic world.
