The chef
Anouchka, a passionate chef
The workshops are led by Anouchka Adrian, trained at the Lyfe Institute, formerly the Paul Bocuse Institute.
Her approach is based on sharing, passing on knowledge, and respecting the product. She likes to incorporate a touch of greenery into her creations, playing with edible flowers or enhancing simple ingredients through subtle and balanced combinations.
Its aim is not to reproduce a recipe exactly, but to give you the keys to understand and reproduce it at home.
Privatization

The laboratory can be reserved for special occasions.
Birthdays, hen parties, get-togethers with friends, parent-child workshops, culinary team-building activities, or corporate events – each format can be tailored to your needs. Groups are intentionally limited to 10 or 12 people to ensure quality and interaction.
