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 crust
