L’Amandier

I recently was invited by a friend who lives in Mougins to take a cooking class with her at L’ Amandier. We took the class on a Wednesday in November and it was all about lobster. Each class has a theme and you prepare a couple of dishes around the theme.
It was an honor to be invited and the class was like a dream to me and someone who truly enjoys cooking. How nice that the head chef is the one who instructs the class. We were there for at least three or more hours and I never at any point felt rushed.
You meet at the restaurant prior to class, have a bit of coffee and get to know the other class members who were 8 that day. Intimate and the chef and two assistants were so nice. The chef is personable and keeps everyone involved. He really is good at being animated while still educating all class participants. Afterwards you eat what you prepared. On special menu days you prepare and take home. Ask ahead. We stayed and had a fabulous meal of two different menus for lobster. Includes coffee and wine and water too.
The class schedule can be found online for classes coming up in the future. Pictures were also taken so that you have a momento of the event.
The classes are great for both men and women and you should have some knowledge of cooking skills. Although I think my college age kids would do great and enjoy it was well.
It simply is one thing you should do while in the south of France. Oh la la.
