The cooking workshop
Cooking workshops near Toulouse
Enjoy a culinary experience just a few kilometers from Toulouse in the Gers region.
At L'Escapade Nature & Gourmande, food is shared simply and with gusto.
Our workshops are moments for sharing about taste, products and the pleasure of cooking together.
We share practical techniques and tips in a supportive approach: everyone progresses at their own pace, in a friendly and accessible atmosphere.
Whether you are a beginner or an enthusiast, the main thing is to discover, taste, experiment… and have fun.
Vegetable garden and garden
An edible garden, a source of inspiration
Our garden is primarily edible and offers a wide variety: seasonal vegetables, old or original varieties, aromatic herbs, edible flowers, small fruits, peppers and little-known plants.
At the beginning of the workshop, a visit to the organic vegetable garden can be offered depending on the theme, to discover the crops and to be inspired by the combinations of flavors.
Depending on the season and the recipes, some products can be picked and incorporated directly into the preparations.
This proximity to plants brings a unique sensory dimension: seeing, touching and smelling before cooking.
The garden thus becomes a common thread between nature, taste and culinary creation.
