Key points
- A cooking class mixes levels of seniority and ends with a shared meal.
- Allow 3 hours to 3 hours 30 minutes of cooking and about an hour for the meal.
- Workshops run in small groups: 8 to 16 people, up to 25 at your premises.
Why it works for a team
- Everyone has a role and nobody is an expert: hierarchy fades away.
- The result is tangible and shared straight away.
- It is open to everyone, with no physical requirements.
- In Provence, seasonal produce does the rest: olive oil, herbs, vegetables from the market.
