Why Season It Cookery Is the Perfect Way to Spend a Week This Summer

If you’re 16–19 and wondering how to make the most of your summer, the answer might just involve fresh mountain air, delicious food, and a dip in a crystal-clear lake. At Season It Cookery, you’ll learn real-life skills that’ll stay with you long after the sun sets on your holiday—and have a blast doing it.

Cookery Skills in a Stunning Setting

Set in a beautifully renovated Alpine farmhouse, Season It Cookery isn’t just about learning to cook—it’s about doing it in a warm, welcoming, and seriously picturesque setting. Think timber beams, herb gardens, and long tables set for home-cooked feasts. You’ll learn how to cook for groups, how to menu plan, budget, and prep meals like a pro. Perfect for life, uni, or even a season working in a ski chalet.

Swim, Hike, Relax

This isn’t school—it’s an adventure. Your mornings might be spent mastering risottos or baking brownies, but afternoons are for you. Walk through wildflower meadows, hike into the mountains, or cool off with a swim at the local lake. We even throw in a few surprises: think campfires, music, and plenty of laughter.

Boost Your CV (Literally)

Alongside cookery, we’ll help you level up your job prospects. You’ll get support writing your CV, tips for gap year employment (especially in hospitality), and the chance to earn a Level 2 Food Safety qualification—a must-have for many roles. If you’re thinking about doing a ski season, a summer camp, or working abroad, we’ll help you figure out your next steps and get noticed.

Parlez-Vous Français?

Although the course is delivered in English by Brits, we’re based in France, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to practice your French—from ordering a croissant at the boulangerie to chatting with locals. It’s a great confidence boost before A-levels or future travels.
