Gourmet cookery holidays
Ideal holiday for singles


"Maynard and Benedict have certainly exceeded any expectations I may have had before coming to the course. Bravo! I will certainly encourage our friends & family to follow suit. Boys, remember me when you are rich and famous."

Emily Quah,
United Kingdom

"What a week! Pure pleasure in every aspect. When my visitors see the results of my "plating up" they'll think I've gone into fine art mode (hopefully)! To your success."

David Escott,
France

Cooking vacation in France

 

'We came to France to learn to cook
Five short days that's all it took
Maynard and Benedict will definitely be glad
Five days like this could drive a chef mad!
Amongst it all we've put on weight
We must go home to compensate'


Patricia Hargreaves,
France

Fun cooking holiday

"I particularly appreciated the emphasis on restaurant-quality plating. What a difference professional presentation makes! Maynard and Benedict shared professional tips and techniques that I know I will use for both family meals and dinner parties."

Carol Doeringer,
Michigan, USA
Relaxing after the course
 

"Thank you for transforming my entire approach to cooking from preparation to presentation! I've learnt that cooking is not just about reading a recipe, it's about understanding ingredients and trusting your senses to produce meals that are not only delicious but look amazing. Even better that it was in a beautiful location with two talented (and patient!) chefs and a great group of fellow students. I think the best thing about Walnut Grove is that it it's suitable for everyone - the only ingredient required is a passion for food! I can't wait to return."

Hands-on cooking
"I just want to tell you how much I enjoyed your advanced course, the people I met and the way the days were structured. I especially enjoyed the attention to detail and presentation and the way the teachers respected the taste preferences and opinions of the class. It was such a rewarding experience that I dream
 
of living in France, coming back to Walnut Grove regularly and working as a volunteer assistant in the kitchen, so I could be there and learn not just through one course but from many!"

Lis Moller,
Australia

"Just a note to say thankyou so much for all the hard work you all did to make my week perfect. I really enjoyed it and learnt so much; and had such fun too! "

Jo Vidler,
Australia


I wanted to write and say how much I enjoyed the advanced course. I thought it was excellent and I learnt so much. For someone like me who cooks all day long in my job, it was great to work with two such knowlegable and creative people who were so good at teaching us skills and passing on information. I really wanted a 'hands-on' course, rather than one that was mostly demonstration and this course was definitely that.

Kate Purdy,
Caribean Islands

Recreational cooking school
 
Cooking course for professionals
"Just wanted to let you know that I had a fabulous time at your school. Maynard and Benedict were great fun to spend time with as well as being excellent chefs and teachers. I will be recommending the school to anyone who appreciates fine cooking and presentation and wants a total hands-on approach."

Tania Kane
United Kingdom


"Chantima and I would like to thank you all for a wonderful experience at your school over the past week. It was amazing how many lessons Maynard and Benedict packed in just a few days, and their passionand sense of humor made it a very relaxing experience as well. "
