Exploring the World of Immersive Culinary Retreats with Lisa Donovan and Julie Belcher of Rêverie Retreats

On this week’s show, I have Lisa Donovan and Julie Belcher of Rêverie Retreats. These retreats are the kind of trips that I want to take. Travel to the Loire Valley... Take a French pastry lesson with an acclaimed baker...Have a natural wine tasting. Plenty of time to eat and relax. Maybe make some new friends.You’ll learn how and why Lisa and Julie started this, and how you can join them on one of these excursions. We talk about how they select the partners and purveyors they work with, natural wine, and not wanting to work in professional restaurant kitchens. I also wanted to discuss their dynamic and what their working relationship looks like. How they balance the tasks and workflow. And I also had to talk to Lisa about pie crustRÊVERIE RETREATSCheck out the Rêverie website and book a tourInstagram: Reverie, Julie Belcher, and Lisa Donovan Previous podcast episode with Lisa DonovanLisa’s book Our Lady Of Perpetual Hunger CHEFS WITHOUT RESTAURANTSIf you enjoy the show and would like to support it financially, please check out our Sponsorship page (we get a commission when you use our links).  Get the Chefs Without Restaurants NewsletterPrivate Facebook groupChefs Without Restaurants Instagram Chefs Without Restaurants on TikTok Chefs Without Restaurants on YouTube Chris Spear's personal chef business Perfect Little Bites SPONSOR INFO United States Personal Chef Association Are you a personal chef looking for support and growth opportunities?
