Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons is the fulfilment of Raymond Blanc’s personal vision, a dream that one day he would create a hotel and restaurant in harmony where his guests would fine perfectionin food, comfort, service and welcome. The Raymond Blanc Cookery School is for everyone who has a passion for food and wishes to have fun preparing it. The word used most often by our cookery school students to describe their experience is “fun”, and this is what the school is all about: offering people with a passion for food the skills to prepare fantastic dishes—and have a great time while doing so. Initial concerns about the level of cooking skills required are immediately dispelled by the informality of the environment and the realisation that the only qualifications needed are a love of food and the desire to learn about cooking. At the hands of our experienced chefs, the complete novice through to the experienced enthusiast will learn not only the secrets of producing the finest food, but the reasons behind those secrets. Completely unique, it is the only cookery school in the world to offer visitors the chance to watch, learn and practice in the kitchen of a two Michelin Star restaurant.
