The School of Gesture
The Private Masterclass
A cooking class in your villa — Saint-Martin · Saint-Barth · Anguilla
Not a demonstration. An immersion. The Chef passes on the gestures of the great houses — knife work, sauces, cooking, plating — in the intimate setting of your villa.
Each guest cooks with their own hands and makes the whole recipe. You learn, you taste, you leave with real know-how. The session always ends with a tasting, at the table, around what you created together.

The table
Pairings & Plating

An allergy or special diet? We adapt the recipes — we never cancel the theme. Bespoke is the rule.
“To learn to cook is to learn to listen — to the produce, the fire, the textures.”
Frequently asked
How do you choose the theme?
After booking, the Chef composes three themes based on your package and tastes. You receive a private link, choose yours, and the Chef builds the full programme: techniques, menu, recipe cards, run-of-show.
Do I need cooking experience?
No. We adapt to every level and every allergy. Each guest gets hands-on and makes the whole recipe, from the cut to the plating.
How many guests?
From 2 to around ten, depending on your villa. For larger groups (team building, events), we design a dedicated format.
Is the tasting included?
Always. Every masterclass ends at the table, around the dishes you prepared. A wine or champagne pairing can be added as an option.
