Absolutely fantastic!
This was a, very delayed due to covid, Christmaa gift from my husband which I had been looking forward to for such a long time. The wait was totally worth it! As you might expect from Le Manoir this day was of the highest standard. Mark and Becca were professional, knowledgeable, patient and kind and made my day outstanding. I learnt such a lot and had a wonderful time doing so. I cannot recommend this to you highly enough.

A fabulous experience. Mark Peregrine the head chef/instructor was exceptional. His depth of knowledge and his amusing and self deprecating delivery made for a wonderful day.

Exceeded all my expectations by miles!
I have been to a few cookery lessons but this was just exceptional.The lesson was delivered by Becca to a small group of 6, it was so informative and fun.Everything was beautifully organised and whilst we cooked 6 desserts, we were treated to a fantastic lunch as well as a walk around the grounds and in particular their outstanding organic garden! I got to go back home with two gorgeous cakes. I can't think of a better present for someone who loves cooking. The memory will stay with you forever!

Fantastic day in every way.
We had a fabulous day of teaching with Mikey assisted by Becky. Clear demonstrations and explanations with the opportunity to try try out some of the recipes and even take home the cake we made. We were also able to walk around the gardens and see how the vegetables, fruits, flowers and herbs used in the cooking are grown. We will definitely be going back.

Manoir cooking course
Fantastic day from start to finish . Fun and informative with loads of excellent tips to help cooks of all standards . Small group of 10 , informal atmosphere and demonstrations very clear and plenty of hands on experience . Fantastic lunch with wine and lovely biscuits and cake throughout the day I had been worried it may be intimidating but the whole experience was relaxed and very friendly . Added bonus of a tour through the gardens . I would highly recommend this course .

Blanc Vite Cookery Course at Le Manoir
An excellent day spent in the Raymond Blanc Cookery school. The tutor, Becka, was first rate and it was good to see Mark Peregrine, the head of school, cheerfully and uncomplainingly clearing up but no doubt also keeping a careful eye on the tutor! Based on my experience of having previously done the Kitchen Secrets course, my only criticisms are that the course was relatively simple and I expected something a little more challenging, perhaps one or two more dishes and a slightly fuller day. .

Raymond Blanc cookery school
I can’t recommend this enough. I learnt so much and tasted and cooked some delicious food. The Chefs made the day, I was nervous to start with, being with such experienced and highly talented Chefs but they put us at ease, demonstrating in a chilled , friendly , humorous but professional way. I can’t wait to do another course.

Great Day - Lovely Experience
The patisserie day was wonderful. Rebecca was great - gave us some very useful tips - nothing was too much bother. Small group of 10 also allowed for hands on experience and also time for asking lots of questions. Treated to a nice buffet lunch with wine and a mini tour of the gardens. got to take home some lovely desserts. Would highly recommend.

Learning from the experts
I had a wonderful day at Raymond Blanc's Cookery School at Le Manoir. It was such a treat to spend a day in the kitchen learning from the experts and getting a glimpse behind the scenes. Our tutor, Rebecca, was excellent and her passion for cooking and food was infectious. She taught us new skills and it great to find out new ways of baking some of the basics that can be used to create exciting new desserts. I loved it all. Thank you.

A fabulous day
The days cookery course at Le Manoir aux Quatre Saisons was the perfect birthday gift. It was a wonderful day, so many different aspects to appreciate - demonstrtions, cooking, a tour round the organic vegetable garden and Le Manoir itself. Very well organised and a great tutor.

Great day, learnt a lot
I was bought this experience for a birthday present and loved it. The day is well run, informal and very interesting. Mark Peregrine really made the day, he has a huge amount of experience and a good few interesting anecdotes. He's also a great teacher and didn't just stand and regurgitate the recipes. Would highly recommend this to anyone who has a interesting cooking and wants to expand their skills.

Fantastic experience
This was one of my most memorable days. Le Manoir is beautiful and the Cookery School offers a fantastic insight to what happens behind the scenes. Michael John was an exceptional teacher - passionate, light-hearted and well humored; an absolute credit to the Raymond Blanc establishment. Endless tips and great food cooked/eaten. I'll be booking again. Thank you

Amazing place, friendly staff, great experience!
Had an amazing experience at Le Manoir aux quat'saisons cookery school. Michael John & the team were extremely friendly and welcoming. As well as giving lots of useful hints, tips and techniques to improve my skills in the kitchen, we were also given a tour around the entire estate including the amazing fruit, veg & herb gardens! The best bit? Throughout the day we were actively encouraged to eat everything we cooked! Now armed with a sound knowledge of the basics, I’m a better cook as a result!

Brilliant day
This was a birthday present so the cost was not a issue. The patisserie course was really well organised in every respect. We were taught to make lemon cake, lemon tart, Frasier,raspberry souffle ,macron and lemon& basil sorbet. we had a really nice lunch with wine and a tour of the garden. If i could afford it i would like to go every week to learn something new. Unfortunately i can't. Mark the chef was fantastic and if money isn't an object I would recommend it to anyone

Best gift ever 😊
I have a real passion for cooking so this was an amazing experience- Le Manoir is incredible and the staff are so lovely. The cream over the coffee would have been to meet Monsieur Blanc, maybe next time! :-)
