How the 12-month course works
Each month introduces a new theme (curries, desserts, regional cuisine, starters, salads…). The learning process follows four key steps:
Field activity (1st Sunday): market tour, coconut farm, fishing villages.
Private class (2nd week): cook 4 recipes of your choice in a sea-view villa.
Independent practice (3rd week): prepare one dish on your own, reviewed by our chefs.
Final group session (last Sunday): interactive quiz + exchange with participants.
👉 All group activities take place on Sundays. Private classes are scheduled individually during the week or weekend.

Each month, you’ll receive:
