Ethos

We believe that:

• There has been a gradual abandonment of culinary traditions and that we must seek to recover them;
• Cooking has been slowly transplanted from the home kitchen to the supermarket shelf and the restaurant, with an accompanying loss of personality;
• Day-to-day cooking should embrace local produce and reflect the season;
• Whether the produce is unassuming or grand, food preparation should be simple;

Food and wine must be, both spiritually and temporally, an essential aspect of and integral to our whole life.

Our courses are constructed to provide an understanding - through basic knowledge and doing - of the rules of cooking, so that we may:

• Understand the reasons behind each process;
• Recognize the pattern of basic steps and the differences from one recipe to another;

Through the process of understanding, be able to see and define limitations and from this knowledge gain greater freedom for creative imagination
