Respect & embracing differences: We develop and teach plant-based food workshops and recipes. However, you do not need to adhere to a plant-based diet on a day-to-day basis in order to book a workshop. My passion is to enable everybody to experience plant-based food and to provide you with basic knowledge and skills to incorporate that in your daily life. Please, show respect for each others ideas and embrace differences.
Recipes: All recipes are developed by us and commercial use is only possible after written consent from Picnic en Provence. Commercial use includes food blogging.
Connect: We offer these workshops to advance your plant-based cooking skills and enthusiasm, to enable you to connect with this wonderful part of Provence and to enable you to up your cooking skills. Prepare to have fun and connect with Provençal food heritage and your creativity in the kitchen!
