Provence Cooking Class with Michelin-Star Trained Chef

Meet Gerald

Gerald is a lively chef with a great sense of humor, who has called Provence home for over three decades. Growing up in a family that owned a hotel restaurant, he was immersed in the culinary world from a young age. He honed his skills through a cooking apprenticeship in Geneva and gained invaluable experience working at over three Michelin-starred restaurants in Switzerland and Belgium. Today, Gerald works as a private chef in Provence, bringing his expertise to intimate gatherings and catering weddings with his signature flair. Gerald has two cats in his home but they will not be in the professional cooking studio.
