Jam and condiments & Catering service à la carte ~ Salles-Lavalette ~ Charente

Saveurs Sud Charente

Pierre Cornelis has been a chef for 25 years, and has been inspired by the varied culinary traditions of the many countries he has visited. He spent some time working in the public sector, devoted a period to gourmet cooking, and also spent time working to reintegrate individuals into society through the medium of cooking. Now he feels like the time has come to throw himself into a new adventure, his own adventure…..« Saveurs Sud Charente ».

A creative chef
Pierre makes his own jam and condiments, employing classic and innovative recipes, and using ingredients from local producers; his respect for each product aiming to highlight its particular taste.

Caterer
Pierre also provides a catering service for individuals, and for local associations and organisations. He has a wide range of dishes and will construct a menu around the individual needs of the client; for him it is essential to meet the clients, to engage in a discussion which ascertains their expectations, their budget, and their tastes and sensibilities. “Vin d’honneur”, aperitif snacks, three course meal, buffet, a themed evening, whether for a wedding, a family reunion, in your own home, in the village hall or somewhere unusual…. each project will be studied and developed to meet your expectations.

A passion he's willing to share
He also provides lessons and workshops for adults and children (cookery demonstrations, learning about products, in partnership with local producers). Together you will work on a product or a menu based on your request and preferences, and afterwards you will be able to taste “the fruits of your work”. You can also work with him on a special theme, for example learning to prepare vegetables or terrines. Pierre can also come and cook in your own home. Once you have agreed the menu, he will do the necessary shopping and then come and cook for you and your guests. As well as the enjoyment of eating in your own home (but without the work!) you can watch and appreciate the preparation and craft of this master chef.

My philosophy
Cooking is, above all, my passion but always with the aim of giving pleasure to my guests. I use high quality products and take great care to prepare them, a care developed through years of experience in always searching to add that little bit extra. Saveurs Sud Charente wishes to provide you with a customised service which listens to the customer’s needs, a service moreover which shares with you the values I hold dear: conviviality, creativity, the pleasure of eating, professionalism and attention to detail. On each occasion I use my creativity to produce something of beauty which will enhance your culinary experience, and leave your taste buds with memories which have answered all your expectations and desires.
