‘It is dedication above all that
has made Manfield one of the
country’s most admired chefs.’
JANET DE SILVA, THE AGE
GASTRONOMIC TRAVEL
Christine Manfield is a keen and curious traveller, an attribute that inevitably led to the creation of hosted international small group culinary tours.
The inaugural SPICE tour found her in the palaces of Rajastan in India, an inspiring backdrop to explore the region’s spicy foods and Moghul influence. She has returned many times since, uncovering new secrets with each visit.
Spice tours have also taken Christine and a group of culinary adventurers several times to Morocco on a heady spice trail that included Fes, Marrakesh, Rabat, Meknes and Essaouira.
Christine is an avid lover of the
French countryside and has
hosted two residential cooking
schools in France - La Combe
de Perigord in the Dordogne in
May 2009 and more recently at
Chateau Tailly, near Meursault in
the Burgundy region in May 2011.
