“We treated ourselves to two chef experiences, the first prepared a delicious in home meal (Chef David). Everything was great. David was capable and required no support from us. Even though he had never been to the house he brought or found everything he needed. His clean-up was impeccable.”

“Last night Chef David came to Les Falaises de Gordes to cook for us. He arrived on time, and set about cooking quietly and efficiently. The table was set beautifully and the meal itself was superb! David went out of his way to also cook one vegetarian meal for Olivia. When he left, there was no sign that he had been…kitchen was spotless. It was truly a memorable evening.”
