Off to France❤️ 〰️

I will be traveling the French countryside now until the end of August and I am so excited! First stop ~ Normandy to visit a dear American friend now living in a country manor under restoration by her husband. We are planning a visit to Dupont Calvados to visit another dear friend I haven’t seen since 2010. Then, off to Arpejon and Cerny just south of Paris for my daughter’s wedding at the Chateau de Villers. I will be making macarons (bien sûr!) for Julia’s wedding, 2 towers of exotic colors and flavors that one would find on the Reunion Island. Once the macarons are made and stored, flowers! I hope to find all the flowers that I want and need, especially for my daughter’s wedding bouquet. After the wedding weekend (French weddings usually are 3-day events!) we are off to the Cote d’Azure, specifically Théoule-Sur-Mer in the Bay of Cannes, for two weeks of pure provencal pleasure. Be sure to follow along on IG and FB for my exciting adventures and discoveries! All classes and events will resume around Labor Day weekend! À Bientôt, Deborah

✨ Les Saveurs de Provence – A Private Dining Experience ✨

Fresh from two unforgettable weeks along the sparkling Côte d’Azur, I’m bringing the colors, aromas, and flavors of Provence straight to our table. This private evening will feature some of my favorite dishes from the trip — watermelon & avocado, succulent gambas, tender chicken Ballantines, and a light, fresh dessert that perfectly captures the spirit of the Mediterranean summer.

Only 12 seats are available for this exclusive culinary journey.

📍 $125 per person – gratuities included

🍷 BYO wine — and for the perfect pairing, make it a bottle from Provence!

Reserve your place and let your senses escape to the South of France — no passport required.
