If you’ve ever looked at a dish and felt… excited, inspired, or even moved? Then you get it. You’re my kind of people. You know why they call cooking “culinary art“! And we embrace that idea in our cooking classes.
Slowing it all the way down!
Our cooking class give you a glimpse into Provencal life. They’re a gateway to understanding the region’s culture, where food, fun, and wine are integral parts of everyday life. Where sharing the experience of chopping and carving to sipping and sampling are as nourishing as the fresh produce itself.
We believe in learning by doing, so cooking with us means being fully engaged from start to finish, creating each dish with your own hands. It’s fun, interactive, and incredibly rewarding.
We encourage you to play with your food, to experiment with colors and textures, and to let your inner artist shine. Turn those roasted veggies into a colorful masterpiece, sprinkle garnishes, and drizzle sauces like you’re Jackson Pollock! Each dish becomes a unique expression of your creativity.
Stepping into our kitchen at La Belugue is like a sensory experience. You’ll find fresh, vibrant local produce from the market, fresh flowers, soft and chic table settings, and a bunch of eager foodies ready to create! Honestly, it inspires me every-single-time.
Have you heard the saying, “You eat with your eyes first”? It’s true! Here at La Belugue, we believe that whether it’s the table setting or the plate itself, presentation is EVERYTHING.
But beyond the fun and food, there’s something deeper happening here.
The Provençal way of life is all about slowing down and savoring the joy in simple things. It’s about tuning in to the flavors, the smells, the textures, and discovering how YOU feel about a certain taste combination or how you arrange your culinary masterpiece—your ‘mise-en-assiette’. This process is joyful and reflective, and it’s what we’re all about at La Belugue.
After almost 20 years of climbing the corporate ladder, I know first-hand how a busy life and stressful job can dull your senses. Taking the time to slow down and truly experience the process of cooking can be a revelation. It’s about finding joy in the simple act of creating, about reconnecting with your senses, and expressing yourself in the most delicious way possible.
So, if you’re ready to add some sparkle to your cooking and turn even a simple meal at home into a joyful moment, come join us at La Belugue Cooking School.
Bon appétit and keep playing with your food!
