An exciting and innovative chef, Fred is the head chef at Le Mas des Oliviers, our cooking school in Provence and has been running courses in the South of France for the past four years. After obtaining his professional diploma from the prestigious Les Sorbets, his creative skills were developed at impressive French restaurants Pere Bise and La Pyramide as well as La Bourride, Auberge du Jarrier and Heilly Lucullus in Avignon. Fred's artistic ability and attention to detail personify his attitude towards cooking and food presentation. Fred practises classic French techniques with a contemporary influence to give his dishes colour, flavour and decorative style. His belief in simple ingredients, and ability to use different regional specialties in each recipe, makes Fred's classes appealing to those who want to learn traditional methods as well as some new and creative ideas.
