I have been taking classes from Pascale for almost ten years now. I have not only learned a tremendous amount of information from Pascale, but have thoroughly enjoyed each and every class. Pascale shares so much with each class, and each class I learn something new and different. From where to buy the best meat in town, to where to buy the best copper ware in Paris, France, as well as all her favorite places in St. Tropez! Not to mention all the wonderful products that Montecito Country Kitchens produces. I can’t imagine making salmon without their lemon olive oil. Or roasting tomatoes without their Italian herb mixture.
There is so much to learn from Pascale, and I now have the pleasure of taking classes with my daughters. Another generation of students of the Montecito Country Kitchen!

"Ann Marie and Pascale have transformed my marriage. In the old days my wife had trouble preparing cornflakes. She used to boil them in the packets. Within a month of meeting our Mediterranean friends she was preparing delicious, original three course meals at the drop of a hat. Seriously, it is extraordinary what can be achieved by the steady acquisition of traditional European cooking skills. Thank you Ann Marie and Pascale."

I hope these new menus will tempt you, and look forward to seeing you in the kitchen!
