Most of us can only dream of having a private French Chef cooking and teaching us the secrets of Nice and Provence cooking….. Introducing Chef Arno, and Auckland’s French gastronomy experience.
Experience French style gastronomy and cooking classes with Chef Arno. Arno graduated from the Paul Augier Culinary School of Nice, France and started his culinary career in Provence at 5* Relais et Chateaux Hôtel Restaurant Le Mas de Pierre, in Saint Paul de Vence. He also worked at Forum Jorges François in Nice, where he led a brigade of 12 and designed a daily zero waste menu for 100 people. In 2016, he met his Kiwi wife and they moved to New Zealand where he developed his private chef business and worked on super yachts in Auckland.
Bouillabaisse is a traditional Provençal fish stew originating from the port city of Marseille. Bouillabaisse was originally a stew made by Marseille fishermen using the bony rockfish which they were unable to sell to restaurants or markets. There are at least three kinds of fish in a traditional bouillabaisse.
