Chef’s Experience Reading
Chef’s Experience
For one person to spend a day with the team in the fine dining kitchen at L’Ortolan and discover what really happens behind the scenes.
Learn new culinary techniques and skills whilst working with ingredients you may not have cooked with before. Ask as many questions as you like – the chefs enjoy sharing their passion for food!
Suitable for people with all levels of cooking ability. This is a fabulous experience, especially if you have only ever been on the other side of the pass!
Arrival is at 9.30am and after refreshments and a short briefing you will be straight into some ‘hands on’ learning as you assist the chefs with preparation of the lunch service.
Enjoy a light lunch on the Chef’s Table before the guests start to arrive. See how the different elements of each dish come together as orders start rolling in. During lunch you will have the opportunity to work on the various sections of the kitchen and even attend at the pass with Head Chef as he calls ‘service’.
If you are ready and willing, join the team again for the dinner preparation and service – most definitely not for the faint hearted.
Are you brave enough to enter the L’Ortolan engine room?
