Special Interest Classes

"The school could not have
gone higher in my estimation
when you are talking about
a five day program.
Involvement was my aim,
and I got it!"
Penny Kupperberg, USA

"With its 200 simple
but mouthwatering recipes,
readable and informative text,
and charming illustrations,
her book is highly recommended"
Review of Italian Farmhouse Cookbook,
Library Journal New York, N.Y.

"I am still on cloud nine.
Rereading my journal each night
and can't wait for the weekend
to cook something from our course."
Marie Muller, participant

"Overall I would say that
my most favorite aspect
of our time together
was being in the company
of someone like Susan,
who so deeply loves food
and openly shares her appreciation of it."
Donnamarie Zotter

"Our wonderful adventure in France...
was more than we ever expected...
your class was wonderful.
It was fun, informative and,
of course delicious!"
Patty Tronquet, Seattle, WA

"It has been wonderful
to be in your home—
the setting is so beautiful
and the cuisine magnifique."
Giselle Bawnick, French teacher

"On Rue Tatin transports you
to another time and place.
Time slows down
and you can savor
the flavors of the French countryside."
Lois Dirkson, Minneapolis, MN

"Thank you for giving me
one of the most fantastic,
memorable, enjoyable
and exciting weeks of my life!"
Joy Stebbins, Norfolk, England

"Thank you so much
for your gracious hospitality
and wonderful food."
Marilyn Lovegren, French language student

"You covered a wide variety...
I was thrilled with everything we did.
You gave me memories
that will last forever!"
Ann Smathers, USA

"A class act from
beginning to end."
Sharon Golub, USA

"I've enjoyed cooking since childhood,
but was a bit intimidated about cooking
under the eye of a professional.
I soon discovered that Susan's warmth
creates such an easy going atmosphere
that even cooks with little experience
feel confident in her kitchen."
Martha Alberti, Special Events Co-ordinator,
American Museum of Art,
Giverny, France

"The class was inspirational,
I felt like a member of the Loomis extended family.
Susan was warm, delightful, organized and sharing.
Her assistant made us laugh with her keen sense of humor.
The food was seasonal, fresh and preparation
was always imaginative.
But this class was not just about food.
We were caught up with Susan's excitement
and enthusiasm for the beautiful, bountiful Normandy.
It was like visiting your far away family
and being very spoiled by them."
Patricia Walters

"A wonderful book. The joy of cooking,
for me, begins with the market.
In this wonderful book Susan Loomis takes us—
through memories and recipes—
from the market, to the kitchen,
to the table, sharing her love
and passion for food, and for France."
Ruth Rogers, Riverside Cafe
(one of London's established hottest restaurants)

"Everything was beyond my expectations."
Kristie Cousineau

"I learned a lot about the French culture,
but even more, the importance of slowing down
and savoring the experience
of preparing and enjoying a wonderful meal
with good friends."
Lisa Darnall, Controller,
La Madeleine French Bakery and Cafe

"What was supposed to be my ‘summer book’ read
in bits and pieces at our neighborhood pool
over the course of the summer
turned out to be a page-turner
that I couldn't put down!"
Susan Kerth, Missouri

"[Italian Farmhouse] is a book to pick up
when you are dreaming of a mini-escape to Italy.
You can read a few recipes
and at the same time have a brief visit
with a farmer or two."
Review of Italian Farmhouse Cookbook,

Associated Press

"Loved every minute of it!"
Bernadette Zotter

into your home and your life -
it was so different and very entertaining.
Please come say hello when you visit Bermuda."

memorable, enjoyable and exciting weeks of my life.
Jim also had a wonderful time with being an eater.."
