Our cooking classes
Truffle cooking workshop :
Claire, a young truffle grower who graduated from a doctorate in taxonomic systematic botany, is a passionate woman who practiced cavage in the family from her childhood.
Not only expert and happy to share her knowledge, she is also a true virtuoso of cooking around the truffle: "Through exceptional workshops in selected settings, I will share with you my knowledge and fascination with truffle ecosystems, truffle growing and culinary preparations that enhance the truffle."
Several options for workshops: Courses + gourmet aperitifs, courses + meals, or whole days. A moment of conviviality and relaxation. Depending on the season, the workshops adapt to the truffle species of the moment.
