Sitting in my living room just before Christmas and reflecting back on our trip to Paris and Provence in mid-October. We had a great time in both areas, but one of the standout things we did was take a cooking course with Sabine. She invited us into her kitchen to prepare a meal. She explained everything, so even I, whose specialty is boiling water, could understand and participate. Eating with Sabine and her husband, at their home in the middle of a vineyard was truly memorable. I am not doing a great job conveying how great a time we had and how special this was, but it was.

This cooking class with Sabine felt like being in the home of a friend, helping prepare a scrumptious lunch and learning new tricks. Sabine puts her guests at ease, and to work, immediately! The result is a flavorful meal in a setting which itself is a postcard of Provence, with exquisite wines produced from the vineyards which surround the house. We have since prepared and served all the attractive and flavorful dishes in our own home, to rave reviews. We are VERY grateful for this opportunity--don't miss it!

Wow! Sabine’s classes are spectacular. Don’t get me wrong, she lives in a wonderful, Provençal farmhouse in the middle of a giant vineyard, but the class is simple and complete. We (another couple and us) were so charmed by the whole thing. We made a beautiful hardy lunch and consumed it on her garden table. Enjoyed her own wine, grown right there, and did not want to leave. Touring the beautiful city of Vaison la Romaine after was icing on the cake. If I could give it six stars…I would!

After driving over 2 minutes up the scenic driveway (stones) ,we arrived at the most beautiful home surrounded by vineyards. Was worried about finding the home ,but it's easily identified by a swimming pool and " Provence cooking" on google maps. Sabine was very welcoming and organized. She had us participate in the preparation of our meal and after several hours we sat down together on her Veranda drinking her exquisite le Almandine wine and enjoying the delicious meal we prepared. We scheduled this class with our 2 sons(20 and 21)( part of college graduation gift) They are foodies due to growing up with food allergies and they loved the class . I must say this was the most beautiful place we observed during our 3 days in Provence!

Although I was the odd man out in a class with several women (including my wife), had a great time in Sabine's class. The instruction was great, the food was fabulous, and the wine from the family's own domain was the perfect complement to a great day.

Sabine is a great instructor. We made a delicious lunch. (I wish we all could go out into the forest to harvest wild thyme!) I don't think my husband will ever get over watching Sabine's deft way with baking rolls and making vinaigrette! This was part of a wonderful day with the incomparable Olivier Hickman at Wine Uncovered.

My husband and I spent the day cooking with Sabine. I learned a lot. The food was excellent and it was interesting to hear about her family and their wine business. The ingredients we used were so fresh. Food was delicious. The wine we drank was from their vineyards. It was an amazing experience. We even stopped at the Domaine de L’Amandine winery to buy some bottles to drink during the rest of our trip.

Sabine’s class was the highlight of our two week stay in Provence. The class takes place at her house outside Seguret in the middle of vineyards owned by her family. Sabine is a wonderful host and we prepared a delicious Provencal meal and enjoyed it out on her patio. I highly recommend Sabine’s class!

Our party of 4 adults agreed that the evening we spent cooking with Sabine was a trip highlight! Being invited in to her home to prepare a Provencal menu made with local foods was a treat! Sabine was a pleasant instructor. We enjoyed the preparation and the food was delicious! After prep was complete and with dinner, we had wine from the L’Amandine vineyard – run by their family! When it was time to dine, Sabine's husband, Alex, joined us. Dining on home cooked local foods with two delightful local people was an experience we cherish! Thank you, Sabine & Alex! Moreover, Sabine was fantastic during the planning process. She was always quick to respond to my emails and provided helpful information.

While exploring activities in which to partake during our time in Provence, my husband found some reviews about a cooking class. Maybe there were some ulterior motives, but he pointed me to the website and asked if I’d be interested. I immediately contacted my friend who was going with us to France and we enthusiastically sent off an email to Sabine. She was quick to reply and explained everything we needed to know. There was no question that signing up for this would be a great idea. We were offered a morning or afternoon class and signed up for the morning. We soon learned that two other people would be joining my friend and I (our husbands chose to go hiking). Sabine warmly welcomed us and we got down to business quickly. It was wonderful to be right there in her kitchen. It was like cooking with friends, making a memorable meal together with laughter and kind heartedness. All the instructions were clear and, because we all pitched in, we learned not only what ingredients were needed for the dishes we were preparing but more importantly, the techniques required. We will have muscle memory, not just the cerebral kind. All the ingredients were fresh and as local as could be. Everything was delicious. When our husbands arrived to pick us up, (imagine our surprise that their timing matched ‘time for dessert’) they were invited to sit down and join us. Since we’ve come home, I’ve made several of the dishes that we learned. My husband certainly has benefited from pointing out the sight! Thank you Sabine.
