Norman
cooking class
A Norman chef, local produce, your teams at the stove: a convivial culinary workshop that always ends well at the table.
At the stove
A Norman chef,
your teams at the stove
The cooking class is one of the most unifying activities there is. Teams, or an entire group, take their places at the stove under the direction of a passionate Norman chef and cook together a meal that will be enjoyed at the end of the workshop.
In Normandy, the menu almost writes itself: roasted camembert, sole meunière, tarte tatin made with local apples, Norman cream, duck fillet with calvados. So many recipes that showcase regional produce and give your employees a complete sensory experience.
Available as a competitive team workshop (each brigade prepares a different dish) or as a collective workshop (the whole group cooks the same menu together).
“Sales brigade vs. technical brigade: a memorable culinary challenge, and a delicious lunch.”
Possible menus
- Norman classics (sole, duck, camembert)
- Seafood cuisine (fish, shellfish)
- Norman pastry (tarte tatin, cream)
- Tailor-made gourmet menu

Culinary challenge
Brigades in competition,
shared meal
In the competitive version, your brigade teams compete to produce the best dish, judged on technique, presentation and taste by a jury of chefs. The activity always ends the same way: a shared meal of everything that has been cooked.
