We rolled up our sleeves with Marie to prepare a fresh Niçoise salad, slow-cooked pastis chicken with ratatouille and saffron rice, followed by warm pear tarte Tatin with rosemary coulis, caramelised orange and ice cream. Quite a step up from “what’s in the fridge?”!
Plenty of fun in the kitchen, a beautiful menu and the best reward for our efforts: getting to eat it all. The tarte Tatin alone was worth saving room for.
A delicious way to spend time together. Highly recommended—arrive hungry and bring your inner French chef!
Marie was warm, professional and made everyone feel welcome from the start. We cooked, enjoyed some great wine, shared plenty of laughs and then sat down to eat what we’d made. Happily, it was delicious!
It was such a fun way to spend an afternoon together. Thank you, Marie, for a wonderful experience.
It was so much more than just a cooking class. We made fresh ravioli and lasagne together, learnt some great cooking tips along the way, and met some lovely new people as we all cooked together. The best part was sitting down around the long table afterwards, sharing the meal we’d made, enjoying some wine and finishing with affogato and crostoli.
It was a really fun and relaxed experience and such a great way to spend time together as a family and make some special memories.
Marie was incredibly welcoming and made the whole evening feel warm, social and effortless. I’d highly recommend Roving Larder for a family celebration, date night, group of friends or corporate event.
We’ll definitely be back and I’m already looking forward to the next time!
Not only did she come home with yummy treats but her first real cooking experience away from home was positive and fun.
And now she has no excuse for not helping out in the kitchen. Ha ha.
I went to one of the cooking class on a friday night and we made delicious lasagna and ravioli !
The class was so fun, Marie is an excellent instructor, I learn so many cooking tips and im now using them at home 🥸
Thanks again 🫶🏼
Thank you Marie
Sharing a morning with my girlfriends making gingerbread houses was so much fun. Thank you Marie for creating such a beautiful Christmassy space, full of goodies for us to come and “play”. Like you said it would, the time passed too quickly!
Marie is very knowledgeable, professional and with an easy manner which makes learning about making this French classic a breeze.
The class was attended by a lovely group of people of all ages, and we all ended up thrilled we could actually make this tower of choux pastry with fillings like one usually found in an exclusive patisserie.
Thankyou so much Marie for imparting your knowledge, skill and guidance to help me conquer the croquembouche!
We will be back for another class in a French classic soon.
Many thanks

Had such a fab night with group of foodie friends - learning from experienced chef Marie and cooking with “state of the art” facilities (modern “rangehood” was very cool !)
Antone looked after us throughout the night with drinks & any questions we had :)
We did the seafood course - 3 dishes:
oven baked Snapper En Papillote, yummy mussels finished in a delicious broth/sauce and Greek salad. Also shared her tips to make a fragrant fish stock. Finished the night with a lovely cheese/fruit platter over great food and conversation !
Highlights:
- Perfect for beginners/intermediate home cooks with seafood dishes that I can replicate easily at home, with handy recipe booklet to keep.
- Marie’s shared many cooking techniques/tips for quick preparation seafood confidently at home
Highly recommended ! We’ll definitely be back, huge thank you Marie and Anton for a wonderful food experience!
It was great to learn how to make new meals/desserts and to also learn new cooking skills to take home to the kitchen.
I would highly recommend!
Thanks!
