Student Comments...
"Really enjoyed the course and appreciated the experience and professionalism of the tutors. A MUST for anyone wanting to run a chalet. Learnt so much in a short time and had great fun doing it." Keith, August 2007
"I just wanted to send an email to thank you for everything you did for me at the course, it really was the "ultimate chalet host cookery course". As I think I said........I learnt so much from that course and it made the other course..........look utterly pathetic. You will I´m sure be glad to hear that many of the meals I cooked bore more than a little resemblence to things I learnt on the course. I did survive the season and although I was a little bit nervous at the start, I quickly chilled out and had a great time. I skied loads and am now doing instructor training. Thanks again, Lots of love"
Will, November 2006 (received at end of Will´s first season in the Alps)
