Notes de Cuisine — Laurence Duperthuy

30 minutes from Nice, in the Provençal village of La Colle-sur-Loup, Laurence Duperthuy created Notes de Cuisine — an artisan cooking workshop whose philosophy goes far beyond simple recipe learning. For Laurence, cooking is a 'pause for relaxation', a moment of mindfulness with beneficial effects close to meditation.

The workshop welcomes a maximum of 8 people per session — an intimate format guaranteeing personalised follow-up for every participant. Laurence's cuisine is rooted in Niçois and Provençal terroir — local and seasonal produce, traditional County of Nice and Provence recipes. The 'Notes Niçoises' are workshops specifically dedicated to traditional County of Nice recipes.

Notes de Cuisine excels in privatised workshops: birthdays, hen parties, celebrations, family or friends gatherings. For companies, she offers privatised group cooking courses. And for those unable to travel: the 'Notes Connectées' — video courses from home.

Guest Reviews

Highlights: Laurence is described as 'attentive and rigorous, sharing her knowledge in a professional and warm manner'. The 8-person maximum format is cited as ideal for quality follow-up. The mindful approach is described as refreshing and different. The Provençal village setting is very appreciated.

Areas for improvement: La Colle-sur-Loup location requires a car from Nice. Less accessible for visitors without a vehicle.

Overall: Notes de Cuisine is the most original and most soothing workshop in the Nice region — a slow, mindful, convivial culinary experience in a Provençal village, led by a passionate chef.
