The time with Natacha, being taught to make a sumptuous meal of ratatouille, mussels in cream and a pear clafoutis was fantastic!! Bringing us into her home to prep and cook in her wonderful kitchen, created the most authentic experience. We were welcomed with a small treat while sitting together in her cozy living room, just getting to know one another. She was knowledgeable, interactive, instructed us closely and explained everything we were doing throughout. We then sat down to a fully set dining table to eat. She had paired a lovely wine to go with the meal but also had no problem that one of us brought their own wine. She surprised us with homemade sourdough bread that was mouthwatering! Then she brought out already prepared hot zucchini soup in antique shot glasses. Before dessert she shared special Selles sur Cher cheese which was also delicious. The whole evening was fun and relaxing and we appreciated learning about her life and some discussion about France in general. Recommend this experience highly! (we did make one suggestion about letting prospective guests know there is a cat who lives at the home just in case of allergies. She did make sure to ask about any food allergies!)
