Silversea Adds Relais & Chateaux Cooking School

 
Through its partnership with Relais & Châteaux, Silversea Cruises is introducing L’École des Chefs, a new interactive cooking school that will be featured on 11 voyages in 2010. The Relais & Châteaux L’École des Chefs program offers a culinary curriculum and events hosted by Silversea Executive Chef David Bilsland. Educated in classic French cooking, Bilsland’s career includes several years as a chef instructor at the Le Cordon Bleu culinary school in London. He will present a program developed in collaboration with Jacques Thorel, the owner of L’Auberge Bretonne and a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux.

The curriculum for each cruise is designed to celebrate the cultural flavor of the ship’s itinerary. Highlights include workshops covering a range of topics including basic knife skills, kitchen terminology, sauces, baking, cooking demonstrations with wine pairings, Q&A sessions, cooking competitions between Bilsland and the ship’s own culinary team, a “Lunch and Learn” event and “Take It Home” recipes.

Also offered on certain voyages, when the itinerary permits, is “Market to the Plate,” an escorted tour to a local market, and a “Culinary Outing” to a restaurant, hotel or other venue with a chef escort. Select L’École des Chefs voyages will also feature Silversea’s wine consultant, Lyn Farmer. The James Beard Foundation Award-winning wine and food writer will host lectures, conduct tastings and guide guests through wine and food pairings as part of Silversea’s Wine Series enrichment program.
