Classes in France
Spring in the Dordogne promises sparkling sun-filled days and cool, misty evenings by the fireside. The medieval hilltop markets overflow with lush bouquets of greens, fragrant herbs, tiny jewel-like carrots and beets, plump luscious raspberries, wild strawberries, half a dozen kinds of grapes, and figs plucked from nearby trees. Fill your mesh bags with artisan cheeses, farm-churned butter, fresh foie gras, aromatic mushrooms and local green-hued olive oil. Select a free range duck for roasting with wild thyme and rosemary, a goose for confit, a loup de mer to grill over a bed of dried fennel, and purple plums and lavender for a tart. Splurge on a truffle.

Every Season at La Combe means a welcoming country kitchen filled with laughter, and fragrant with the promise of wonderful things to eat. It is meals lit by firelight and warmed by fine wine and the company of new friends. Join cooking teacher Lora Brody and your hosts Wendely Harvey and Robert Cave-Rogers at La Combe en Perigord for a very special week in May where we'll teach you the alchemy of turning the treasures of the marché into memorable meals to grace the table.
