Le Chevrefeuille Cookery School

Ian, Sarah and Eleanor were wonderful to spend time with. We’ve quite the large family, 12 total, with age ranges of 12 years up to 60+ and we all had a great time learning how to make a delicious regional themed meal and dessert. Ian does a great job entertaining and teaching, providing little tips and tricks capable of getting even the most kitchen adverse folks to enjoy the kitchen time. Then the team allows you all to spend time eating, enjoying some local wine and of course bragging about whom created the best dishes. A+ experience.

Our visit to Ian and his family and the cooking class we took was the highlight of our holiday in the Dordogne. Ian, a chef who moved here with his family 20y ago, was so passionate about the local products and cuisine! We prepared (and ate), under Ians entertaining supervision and help of his lovely daughter Alice, a great and delicious 2-course lunch served with a great white wine. Thank you Ian and family for this wonderful experience. We will definitely come back next time we visit the Dordogne!! Paul, Stefanie & Josefien

Our family had the most wonderful time at Ian’s class. He and Sarah and Alise all made us feel very welcome. We learned a lot about the local products. Ian is charming. The cooking area is convenient and well-organized. And the food! The velouté was one of the most delicious things we’ve ever made, but was all wonderful. I’m so glad we got to meet this lovely family!

Our second time here. Fun cooking courses. The chef, Ian, teaches you some cooking techniques, but especially share his love for the ingredients and gastronomy of the region. Great activity if you want some to spend an involved couple of hours in great company and want to discover some of the products of the region.

Wer mehr über die typischen lokalen Lebensmittel und deren Zubereitung erfahren möchte (und des Englischen mächtig ist), kann hier einmalige Erfahrungen sammeln. Chef Ian und seine Familie kümmern sich herzlich um ihre Gäste und sorgen für ein ganz wunderbares Erlebnis, auch für ungeübte Köche. Kein Wunder, dass unsere Mitstreiter heute schon zum dritten Mal hier sind. Sehr zu empfehlen!

A must stop in the Dordogne region for English speakers with an interest in cooking and local cuisine (or families looking for a charming B&B with a swimming pool in the emerald countryside.) Operated by an engaging British couple who have lived in the region for 20 years, it's great fun and a wonderful opportunity to learn about local cuisine and cook with the freshest ingredients, including basil plucked right from the owners' window box). Ian (a professionally trained chef) and his wife, Sara, extend a warm, relaxing welcome. The immaculate training stations are set up with all the tools and ingredients you will need to create (and then eat) an informal lunch with your classmates. A highpoint of our debut trip to the Dordogne region. Five miles from the market village of St. Cyprien.

Six of us (four adults and two 'tween girls) took the Family Cooking class on Thanksgiving Day. It was wonderful! Highlight of our trip to the Dordogne. Chef Ian was just delightful and made the whole experience great fun for everyone. He was very sensitive to food allergies and worked with us to create a delicious regional and seasonal meal that we all enjoyed. We can't wait to recreate the recipes at home. Thank you again to the Fisks for making us feel so welcome.
