Spring & Summer Provencal Menu
Do you really want to go on holiday and cook? You have probably spent a fortune renting a beautiful Cote d’Azur villa so why not go the whole hog and hire a chef or cook to cook you dinner or lunch. We can cater for just one special dinner party at home or a special package where we can come and create some great Provencal classics during the course of your vacation. We do everything from setting the table to clearing up and the costs are generally much cheaper than going out to eat and we obviously use the freshest ingredients straight from the market. After all there can’t be much better than going straight from the pool to the dining table.
