Welcome to Château Avensac. We always focus on restoration and renovation of the Chateau, but this video took a left turn. Phillips family descended upon the chateau for a special occasion, and a very special event.
We put the grande cuisine through the tests of form, function, and design live on camera. We present to you, Cooking with Roger in a French Chateau.
~ Please enjoy

At the Chateau is the restoration and celebration of Château Avensac, a listed French castle, designed in the late 18th century, and built in the beginning of the 19th century, on the ruins of the original 14th century Château.

In 2015 we began an adventure to own a French Chateau. It has been a long journey, and in September of 2021 we became the guardians of this incredible property that we now call home.

  1. Hello everyone. This video is definitely something different for us. We learned so much about filming a cooking show, two cameras and a mic on the chef would have made a huge difference. 😆😆 next time for sure ! ~ Enjoy !!

  2. I love that wig! I’d wear it with a smoky eye and berry lipstick!❣️👏🏻👏🏻. What a fabulous family!!! Love the cooking! What a good idea to have a chef relative use your ‘cooker’ first!❤️🇺🇸

  3. So worth the wait😊…Fait Accompli…only thing better than this vlog – would have been to be there!!!

  4. WOW!!! What a treat! Thank you ❤ Not only did i learn some tips from the Master Colking Class, but also got to meet your lovely family. I'm assuming, Judy, that it's a milestone for Phillip? Happy CAKE DAY!!! 😘😘😘

  5. Happy Birthday, Phillip!! We really enjoyed this episode, "meeting" the family an seeing your fabulous kitchen in action. Maybe the next cooking segment will be Phillip's Cassoulet recipe???

  6. This is wonderful! Keep this kind of content coming. Your cousin and his partner are delicious too. Cheers from Dean and Jonathan in Long Island, New York. Oh, and happiest of birthdays!

  7. This video is just wonderful! Really fun to watch and the food looked amazing and delicious. Thank you!!! 👏🏻✅🌞‼️

  8. Guys – thank you so much for bringing us into such a lovely family dinner. It was great meeting everyone and to see the kitchen getting a full workout. Chef did a phenomenal job walking us through a proper coq au vin, very entertaining and instructive. The addition of The French Chef music was a great touch too – maybe someday there'll be a Julia and Judy show! Cheers 💜💜💜💜

  9. What a fantastic episode! You made us all wish we were there with you enjoying that incredible meal. Can't wait to make these dishes at home on our KitchenAid appliances! 🥰

  10. Hello, congratulations Philip on your birthday, love the vlog, it was amazing seeing you all using your NEW kitchen and all the appliances, love the food your cousin prepared, NOW I know how to make wine chicken ( I don´t know how it's spelled in French), Im doing that recepies next weekend. Love to see Judy so happy. And see you next blog. by from Mexico

  11. Guys, we absolutely loved this vlog and the cooking class. We learnt so much. I think you've discovered a new format… cooking in France. Roger is the new Julia Child…

  12. I loved this show! Roger is a wonderful teacher and the kitchen is fantastic. The comfortable family atmosphere, full of love and humor, and the easy pace of the instruction felt relaxing, enjoyable and so fun. Encore!

  13. Love seeing the kitchen in action!! A beautiful kitchen to prepare meals!! Lol I'd feel fancy in that kitchen! The stove, I'm in love with it 😍.

  14. Very enjoyable episode! I enjoyed seeing your family and your interaction with the various members.

  15. Dennis, thanks for sharing this video with me. Roger, you are such an excellent teacher. I learned so much just from watching you cook that gorgeous feast. Mark and Phillip, congratulations on a stunning kitchen and chateau. This video is so funny and entertaining. I felt like I was there enjoying the food prep with all of you! I look forward to seeing more of your videos!

  16. A stencil / paint show and now a cooking episode, what a lovely treat!!! Thank you so much for sharing these lovely moments with us. Being able to see the kitchen being used, after watching all the hard work that went into building/ putting it together is really special.

  17. Except for the tomatoes, this is your best vlog yet. Also, I’m afraid that had I been there and saw the heads on those bird thingys I would have turned right around and left. Guinea Fowl show up in my yard sometimes…actually, everything shows up in my yard. Currently dealing with an over abundance of feral kittens if anybody needs a pile of kitty babies about 3 months old now. But, I have no mice!
