Cooking Classes:

In addition to a comfortable restaurant, Cafe Provence operates as an educational forum for cooking using classic French techniques. Many may know Chef Robert from his frequent TV cooking appearances on WCAX, Vermont’s Channel 3. Chef Robert’s creativity with food and love of teaching will be appreciated not only by many students, and also by the diners who share his passion. The classes focus not only on careful techniques for preparation and chopping, but also imparts cooking tips for novice and experienced cooks alike. Also, at Gourmet Provence Chef Mary Bannister now hosts a wide range of baking and pastry classes, from scrumptious desserts to hearty breads to kids classes... (scroll down for kids classes)
