Quince, show of hands who has tried this?

This unusual ancient fruit resembles a cross between and apple and a pear but is hard and astringent when raw and thoroughly unpleasant. But... cook it slowly till tender and it becomes wonderfully aromatic and floral with the delicate texture of a pear.

Our Fall Harvest Dinners will showcase this interesting fall fruit in our Entrée alongside roasted pork belly and a mushroom jus.

Book your seat today for our upcoming Monthly Event Dinner.

Bergerac Cooking Classes this Fall!

Velouté Masterclass: A classic Mother Sauce
Classes 11am to 1pm on 12th September & 15th November

Join us for a hands-on exploration of velouté, one of the five classic French mother sauces and the foundation of countless elegant dishes. Made with a light stock and roux, velouté is a versatile sauce that can be transformed to complement poultry, seafood, and vegetables.

In this approachable, technique-focused class, we'll guide you through the fundamentals of creating a smooth, perfectly balanced velouté, covering the essential techniques, ratios, and tips for achieving consistent results every time.

Together, we'll prepare three delicious variations—a rich chicken velouté, a delicate fish velouté, and a flavorful vegetarian velouté—while exploring how each stock creates its own unique character. Along the way, we'll discuss ways to adapt and finish each sauce with herbs, cream, wine, mushrooms, or other classic garnishes, with plenty of time for questions and troubleshooting.

To finish, we'll sit down and enjoy the dishes we've created together, because the best way to appreciate a great sauce is around the table.

Open to all skill levels and ages 13+
