Provence Cooking Classes
Truffle Classes with Patricia Wells
 As an additional mid-winter event, Patricia
Wells offers Truffle Cooking
Classes in a special workshop devoted to
the wonders of the black truffle - the rarest
and most exotic ingredient in classic French
cuisine.
The workshop opens on Monday evening
with a truffle dinner at Patricia’s farmhouse
in Provence, France’s foremost region
of truffle production. On successive days Patricia
accompanies participants on a truffle hunt;
tours with them through one of the world’s
most important – and still artisanal
– truffle brokers, where just breathing
the fragrant air is a rarefied experience.
Restaurant meals focus on truffles and complementary
wines – particularly the prized whites
of Châteauneuf-du-Pape – as the centerpiece.
Wine tastings and discussions throughout the
workshop assure guests of a new understanding
of one of the world’s most mysterious
gastronomic joys. All instruction is in English.
Recipes are geared to the home cook. Guests
are supplied with aprons as well as detailed
recipe booklets that are theirs to keep.
The class is limited to 12 guests.
The workshop begins with dinner on Monday evening
and ends after lunch on Friday. The fee is
$5,000 and includes Monday ’s
truffle dinner, truffle lunches and dinners
on Tuesday and
Thursday a farewell Friday lunch, and transportation
for local visits. The fee does not include
lodging. ( A list of recommended hotels will
be sent to enrolled participants.)
