At The Walnut Grove Cookery School in France, we cook with traditional copper pots — the classic cookware of French kitchens.
In our small-group French cooking retreats, guests work with professional kitchen equipment while learning real French cooking techniques and classical culinary methods.
Copper cookware is valued in French cuisine for its precise heat control, making it ideal for sauces, reductions, sugar work, and traditional French recipes. Understanding how and why we use these tools is part of learning authentic French cooking, not just following recipes.
Set in the French countryside, our immersive cooking retreat focuses on professional techniques, foundational skills, and the traditions that define real French gastronomy.
Discover the tools, methods, and culinary knowledge that allow you to cook French cuisine with confidence and precision.
