Discover the cuisine of THE ALSACE with Matt Tebbutt
Join the Saturday Kitchen host on a Rhine cruise and enjoy dinner cooked by the chef of a two Michelin-starred restaurant
The cuisine of the Alsace is known for its generous portions and the lively way it’s enjoyed with family and friends. The region is also famous for wine and beer, and you’ll get to taste plenty on this four-day cruise.
Enjoy German- and French-inspired specialities in the presence of Matt, who spent his early career working at acclaimed restaurant Chez Bruce. Matt will give a talk, Q&A session and cooking demonstration, and introduce chef Marc Haeberlin and sommelier Serge Dubs, who will prepare a dinner and wine tasting.
‘I’m part of the fourth generation of chefs,’ says Marc. ‘This passion comes from my father. The pleasure of sharing cooking is an incomparable alchemy for me!’
