French Farm House Classics

Join us at Millington Hall Farm for a journey into the heart of traditional French cooking.

Forget complicated fine dining and intimidating techniques. This class celebrates the food that France does so well: hearty, rustic, flavour-packed dishes made with simple ingredients and a little French know-how.

Under the guidance of our French chef Marc, you'll discover the techniques and traditions behind some of France's most beloved farmhouse classics.

From rich, slow-braised Coq au Vin and indulgent Gratin Dauphinois to freshly baked cheese gougères and a beautifully caramelised Tarte Tatin, this is proper French comfort food at its finest.

Throughout the four-hour experience, you'll get hands-on with traditional French techniques, learning how to build flavour, create wonderful sauces, master classic pastry and bring authentic French country cooking into your own kitchen.

And, of course, there'll be plenty of opportunity to enjoy the fruits of your labour around the table, just as the French intended!
