That\u2019s the objective of a delightful long lunch at award winning Reserve Restaurant Cellar near Maleny in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.<br \/>The lunches will be held regularly and hosted by Mimie Pichenot a French language teacher from Burgundy who now calls Maleny home. This is not a cooking school but the perfect opportunity for guests to enjoy a taste of France and to just sit back and fast-track their understanding of French food, wine, culture and language.<br \/>\u201cThe lunch format provides the opportunity to demonstrate conversational French while matching traditional French cuisine with French wine and to ask any questions about travelling within France,\u201d Mimie says.<br \/>\u201cIt\u2019s a culinary journey that takes in some of the secrets that I have discovered during my own personal experiences living in France. Our guests really do have a unique opportunity to learn more about the food and wine along with my recommendations of places to must-see that you won\u2019t find in the travel guide books.\u201d <br \/>This \u2018Tour de France\u2019 includes explanations from the chef about dishes from Burgundy, Beaujolais, Provence and Bordeaux. Mimie explains the history, culture and traditions of these regions from a local perspective.<br \/>The lunches are very flexible and can be tailored to different levels of French language skills or to focus on a French region of particular interest. Group bookings are welcome. Cost from $85pp all inclusive. To register your interest phone Reserve on (07) 5435 2288. <br \/>The restaurant has been awarded a coveted star rating in the 2008 and 2009 Courier Mail Food and Wine Guide and has also earned a listing in the prestigious Gourmet Traveller Australian Restaurant Guide 2009. Located at 840 Landsborough-Maleny Road, Maleny, and open for lunch and dinner seven days a week.<br \/>For great deals on accommodation visit www.caloundratourism.com.au or phone 1800 700 899 to speak to a friendly loca<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eat, drink and be merry and travel through France while you\u2019re at it.
