Mostly in Italy. =Venice 2008,2010 & 2017. Also Rome & Florence Twice in Prague 2012 & 2018. Able to walk all over the cities involved. Venice most romantic. Also had 3 week tour in China,also tours in Turkey & Peru. Found & purchased meaningful souvenirs e.g.a miniature gondolier forcola the oarlock which was crafted by Mr. Pastore who crafted them for the gondoliers on Rio Fornace named for the brick furnace factories which were used to build the homes. We stayed with a Contessa in her palazetto. In Rome we stayed at the Lancellotti Palace the home of a descendent of a descendant of a pre unification King & referred to as Prince. His son actually married the Contessa’s daughter! He was standoffish We still communicate with Contessa Anna ds Schio

Marie is a true inspiration - we were made to feel at home the moment we arrived. The entire experience was one that exuded passion and enthusiasm for local ingredients, techniques, recipes and all within an open and relaxed “as you want” atmosphere. We made Onion Tart to die for, Tart Tartine with gorgeous deep yellow Golden Delicious apples and homemade salted caramel sauce amongst other things. Marie is a very attentive lady with an eye for detail who is keen to assist anybody from complete beginner to expert alike. We went on this experience mainly for my daughter who’s a keen cook, never expecting to enjoy it as much as we did. Cooking with Marie is a great way to spend an afternoon in Nice. As a family we all agree this is the best activity we’ve enjoyed together for a while. If we could rate time with Marie as an eleven out of ten we would gladly do so - Fantastic!

We had an enjoyable afternoon at a well organized cooking experience. We prepared a wonderful meal together and learned several new tips and tricks, as well as some wonderful authentic Nicoise recipes. Highly recommend.

We spent a wonderful afternoon with Marie learning how to cook several classic provencal dishes and then was able to enjoy our meal with a bottle of rose wine. I was joined by my 2 adult daughters and their boyfriends. I am an experienced cook and both my daughters are very good in the kitchen as well - one is a serious baker. Their boyfriends were willing neophytes. Marie did a wonderful job of accommodating all of our different skill levels, and everyone - including myself - learned a great deal. I picked up several key pointers that felt like traditional provencal cooking techniques that you don't see in standard recipes. I loved that Marie selected dishes for us to make that were not only classic Nice cuisine but also seasonal. We learned how to cook squash blossoms that I had just seen in the farmer's market that morning. And we made THE best tart tatin that I have ever eaten. Loved the whole experience! I highly recommend the cooking class!

What a fabulous afternoon with Marie. She admits she’s not a professional chef but that just made it better. She was patient with us in spite of our coaching needs. The taste of the tarte tatin with salted caramel will stay with me for a long time. Don’t think about it - in the words of Nike Just Do It! You won’t be disappointed

Our group of four spent three hours with Marie in her lovely home. We all agreed it was one of the highlights of our trip. Marie shared helpful cooking tips. We all had the chance to participate in all the cooking and best of all, the eating! Simple, local & fresh ingredients and delicious! Thank you Marie. If you are reading this, I hope we can request the recipes. For future classes it might be helpful just to have copies of the recipes to hand out at the end. Merci beaucoup!

This is - without a doubt- the highlight of our short trip to Nice! In time you'll forget places you visit, but a positive, memorable experience stays with you forever. Marie cooked for (and with ) us a fresh, delicious Nicoise salad (which sounds boring back home, but the ingredients she used made all the difference) plus an onion tart " La Pissaladière" to die for..... However, nothing prepared us for the Best Salted Butter Caramel Apple Tart in the world!!!! Really. We left her cosy place feeling relaxed and wanting more ... We totally recommend her course.Look no more. Luminita

We are very pleased to say this cooking class with Marie was the high point of our visit to Nice. I am a museum aficionada and my wife is a beach lover, so there was a lots of competition for our attention, to say the least, but Marie’s culinary class came out on top. We thoroughly enjoyed the food preparation lessons for dinner and the scrumptious meal that followed was absolutely incredible. Marie was gracious and kind throughout the entire evening and we felt completely at ease in her home and very welcome in her kitchen. I enthusiastically recommend this “experience” for anyone who loves food and wants to understand what a ‘labor-of-love’ the preparation and serving of high-quality food entails. You will be more than pleased (and sated) afterwards.

<p>This is a great way to spend an afternoon in Nice. The host is excellent and the food is amazing. The only criticism is, we were promised a copy of the recipes by email after the class but we didn't receive them. This was very disappointing as a cookery class without the recipes is not normal. It would have been better to have copies of the recipes available for everyone at the conclusion of the class.</p>

Thank you again for the wonderful cooking lesson. We all loved the food and the professional hints and techniques that you shared. I am a travel agent and will be happy to send our clients to you for cooking lessons and more. The market tour sounds fabulous!
