While perusing my e-mails a few weeks ago, I saw this:
“More than a cooking class, it is a culinary experience. Come spend the day in France, and enjoy a leisurely French Country cooking class and lunch.
Your day includes an overall extraordinary culinary event with a garden and vineyard tour, cooking class, lunch, and a chance to shop!” (from www.bonniejomanion.com/#/cooking-classes/)
I LOVE the French countryside. I invited a couple friends and we had one of the best “French” experiences of our lives–in San Diego County! Yes, it was much more than a cooking class and much more than a culinary experience. The entire day we felt we had been transported to the French countryside. I am happy to share a few photos from the day–perhaps you would like to have a similar experience without having to fly all the way to France!
The “Lunch in Provence” included appetizers in the wine room, a cooking class in the kitchen, lunch in the dining room, a garden and vineyard tour, “Mon Petit Chou” shopping and dessert in the dining room.
Ribbons for Award-Winning Wines from Domain de Manion:
THE most amazing appetizers were served in the wine room. You may click here for Bonnie’s recipe for Goat Cheese with Marinated Olives.
Cooking Class in the Kitchen:
Lunch “a Table” in the Dining Room:
Garden and Vineyard Tour:
And Alas – Dessert. Merci, Bonnie!
