Intimate culinary experiences in the heart of Cancale
A cooking workshop that feels like an intimate get-together. That was my goal when I embarked on this in-home class idea. So…here in ‘My Cancale Kitchen,’ we spend half the time cooking together, the other half tasting our creations and sharing our stories. It all happens in my home on “Le Port” in Cancale. We cook in my kitchen, sit down at my oak farm table, eat off my collection of Quimper faïence dinnerware…And if the occasion calls for it, I even pull out my great-grandmother’s silver!
Menus vary according to theme, season, and what looks freshest at the local markets and farm stands that week. I’m always open to new ideas if you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for. And be sure to let me know if there are any dietary restrictions! The small class size makes it easy to tailor the experience to different tastes and desires.
Scroll down for current class themes, dates and times. And feel free to contact me about specific dates and private classes! I can always add dates and private classes start at 4 people.
FRESH FROM THE MARKET
– What looks good today?
The best cooks start their meal planning with that question, then go from there. We’ll follow their lead to prepare an Américaine-Armoricaine meal using the very best local, seasonal products from the markets (and even the supermarkets!) in and around Cancale.
Price: 50€ /55€ (Seafood Special)

BRETON CREPES AND GALETTES
If you were to name one food that symbolizes Brittany, it would be the galette de blé noir/galette de sarrasin, or buckwheat crêpe. In this workshop, you’ll learn to ‘turn’ your own galettes (and crêpes) so you can take your newfound crêpe-making skills back to your own kitchen. Then we’ll enjoy hot-off-the-griddle galettes and crêpes washed down with local cider.
Price: 50€

LE BRUNCH
Geared to introducing the French to the wonderful ways you can make brunch special, this is an ideal class if you’re missing American/English/Irish-style morning meals while in France or if you want to savor the sights and sounds of ‘Le Port’ in the morning!
Price: 50€

BRETON TAPAS
In this class, we’ll prepare easy, elegant cocktail nibbles that take their inspiration from both traditional and modern Breton cuisine and are made with the very best local ingredients to be found. Then we’ll raise a glass of cider (of course!) or a house cocktail to toast our creations before we taste them.
Price: 50€
