Chef Gerald was excellent.

We were very pleased with chef Gerald

Chef Gerald was fantastic! Our communications with him ahead of time were handled quickly and efficiently.
He arrived on time, was an interesting and delightful person as well as an excellent chef. It was a pleasure meeting him and enjoying the beautiful meal he prepared. Definitely a highlight of our stay.

Gerard was quite good

- Chef Gerald prepared our last evening's dinner. It was incredible!!! Elegant and personifying French culinary perfection. Several in the group said that it was one of the best meals they have ever had. And with this group, that is an achievement. Truly a memorable culinary experience!!! (Lucy and I completely agree).

We used the chef service and I would highly recommend it.

We used the chef service (Gerald) twice. Once for meal delivery and the other for full service. Both experiences were good. Gerald is a nice person and cooks very well.

Through Only Provence we hired three different chefs to come to the house and cook for us: Chefs Sophie, Gerald and David. All three were excellent. Our favorite ended up being Chef Gerald who we hired for an additional night.

my sincere thanks for the wonderful job Gerald did looking after my group at Le Petit Hameau recently.
My group were so happy and have very fond memories not just of the wonderful food but Gerald's lovely personality and excellent service.
I would like to arrange his services again for another group next year in Septembe

Gerald really outdid himself, producing a memorable meal for us. He was totally organized and the plates were beautifully decorated with his food. We could not have asked for fresher ingredients or a better menu. And all of this served with delicious wine sitting in the outstanding kitchen by a roaring fire...

We engaged Chef Gerald for a cooking class on our third night. Chef Gerald was personable, patient and humorous as he taught all of us his techniques for Provencal cooking with fresh ingredients. We enjoyed a memorable dinner of salad, filet of beef, fresh vegetables and a raspberry tart for dessert.

Totally off the chart! Cannot believe the fantastic dinners and delightful experiences with all! Biggest grateful appreciation to Louise who is tireless and patient with all arrangements and changes and forever gracious to the utmost!

Had a special celebration in August with Chef Gerald cooking us a meal. Taken unawares - had not expected the food to be of such a high standard - absolutely delicious! Menus for the children aimed right. He concurred that the best 'cave' was that of Chateau la Canorgue. Maybe the chef might advise on wine beforehand / or bring some along?

Chef Gerald prepared a wonderful meal for us. He gave us clear instructions on how to do simple final preparation to enjoy the cold tomato soup, leg of lamb, and fruit tarte. The portions were plentiful--we actually had leftovers that we were able to enjoy.

The chef, Gerald, was wonderful--5 stars! He prepared an extraordinary meal and explained everything in French and English. He brought all his own utensils and serving dishes and cleaned up everything. The food was superb. It was a delightful experience.

We would definitely recommend the villa, the chef and the wine tour to others.

We had an absolutely wonderful evening with chef Gerald and I will be writing to him directly to let him know how happy we were with the whole experience. He's such a great chef and a very personable man who was very patient with us. The food was delicious.

Charlotte and Gerald,
Many thanks for another fabulous meal. We had such a lovely evening -- everyone has been saying this morning what a special night it was and how absolutely DELICIOUS the food was. We can't thank you enough.
Many thanks again and looking forward already to next year.
All the best,
Cassie & The Vinograds

Bonjour Gerald and Charlotte

Many thanks for the splendid dinner last night and for making the table look lovely and also clearing up!!!

We were very pleased with the whole meal and each course seemed to have had a lot of thought and work put into it.  We would very much like to have the recipe for the delicious tomato soup that you served as an amuse bouche so we are hopeful that you will share the secret of it with us please!

Once again - we really enjoyed the experience of having you cook for us so many thanks

Kind regards
Linda and Alex

Dear Gerald,

We are back in Georgia now but our memories are still focused on the wonderful meal you provided in Bonnieux. The food was incredible and was enjoyed by all. Your personal touch in table decoration and presentation was way beyond our expectations. We enjoyed getting to meet you and we all appreciate your willingness to share the occasion with us.
Hope we get to put our feet under a table where you and your cuisine are present some time again in the future. It was a great time!
With fond memories,
Dutton Miller and “the group”

 

Dear Gerald,

What a beautiful and delicious wonderful time we had.   I was so lucky to be the birthday girl.   Even gluten free dessert!    Thank you so much.   We enjoyed meeting you and highly recommend you.   Thank you so much

 

Gerald,

 I was one of the crazy Americans for whom you cooked on Sept. 15. I will dream of that beautiful table, delicious meal, and fun time for awhile.  Thank you for making our friend’s birthday so special!
Good luck with all your biking adventures and Ironman trials.
Becky
