Sorry to disappoint those of you who were still hoping to book for May 2012 Vegetarian Cookery Course with Rachel Demuth at Chateau Ventenac, but this course is now full.

The good news is that Rachel Demuth has agreed to come again to host a second, autumn themed cookery course at Chateau Ventenac in October 2012.

We have just announced the dates – 8th to 12th October 2012 - and are now taking bookings. It is starting to fill up so if you are interested do get in touch soon.

Join the Vegetarian Cookery School for a culinary break in the beautiful surroundings of Chateau Ventenac, a 19th century stone castle in the Languedoc region of Southern France. Our five day/four night residential course will give you the opportunity to learn seasonal Mediterranean cookery with Rachel Demuth, owner of the award winning Demuths Restaurant in Bath,UK

The vegetarian course includes four cookery sessions with a combination of hands on cookery and demonstration where we will create delicious Mediterranean meals together using the best seasonal vegetables, local oils and wines.  We will visit a local market, visit local producers and have a special wine tasting with Juliet Bruce Jones, Master of Wine.

Early October is usually the end of the grape harvest in the Languedoc. It may be possible to tour a winery and see the early wine making process in action.
