My husband and I truly enjoyed our cooking class at Les Halles with Chef Jonathan. The walk around the market before the class was such a nice touch. Chef Jonathan sources many of his ingredients directly from the market stalls, and we were able to pick up a few spices that were used in our menu at a stall afterwards. The menu itself was a wonderful introduction to local Provençal specialties, and we came away with some great new ideas and techniques to use at home. And how have I gone all th...read more

Description
Good to Know
Cooking classes start at 9 a.m. with an appointment at the Cuisine Centr'Halles located inside the Les Halles d'Avignon market. We start with a visit to the Market to talk about local products, taste and especially create our menu together. We'll choose our ingredients and craft our menu, then head back to the kitchen for our class and cook our lunch. Lunch is included and consists of the menu we have prepared, water, wine and coffee. The full event ends at 1:30 p.m.
Cooking demonstrations are a fun and light alternative to cooking classes. These begin at 9 a.m. with a meeting inside the market at the Cuisine Centr'Halles. We start with a market visit and tastings at some of my favorite vendors. We then return to the kitchen to prepare my tapenade recipes and some other daily preparations.
Lunch
Please note that lunch and drinks are a cookery workshop offer only.
We will discover the covered market (the halls) of Avignon where we will taste some specialties and then go shopping for our preparation with the help of our master chef! Wine and coffee included .. good appetite;)

Excellent tour
Shalee was very good, helpful and the experience here in Adu Dhabi was breathing taking. The presidential palace and the mosque was lovely.
