Last season of Courageous Cooking School is announced!

Yes, it’s true. Spring 2025 will be our last season of the 6-7 person Courageous Cooking School experience at La Pitchoune. It’s the experience that made us famous. And it’s time to let it go.

We mentioned last year that 2024 could be our last season, and due to popular demand we added another. But the tug to let it go after that time, still is pulling us strongly in this direction!

No, this doesn’t mean that Makenna is  putting La Peetch up for sale. Quite the opposite! We’re just going back to being a high-end, high-touch vacation rental. Our team has new and bigger and more exciting fish to fry.

We have a restaurant opening soon. We want to open a more accessible school for Courageous. Cooking. We envision an enviable culinary supply store paired with an intimate cooking school for 10-14 individuals at a time. In the heart of downtown Grasse. Market shopping trips straight out the front door.  A non-residential experience more in-line with what our colleagues around France and the world.

If you’ve had your heart set on this experience? This is your chance to join us in 2025.

Sign up here.

Our journey continues, and we invite you to be a part of it.  Whether it be as a renter at La Peetch, a Courageous Cooking student in-person at La Peetch through 2025, as a Cook Camp-er, a student in our new venue someday, a diner in our restaurant, or as a member of RecipeKick.tv (free or paid).

Did you know you can watch every livestream in our online school for free? That’s a great way to play with us!

We're excited about what lies ahead and can't wait to continue to share it with you. Thank you for your ongoing support over the years, and here's to the next chapter in our culinary adventures.

See you at La Peetch quite soon I hope! We’re still here to welcome you with our signature blend of high-end and homey hospitality.
