Cook Normandy in Eure

Norman Gastronomy at Your Fingertips

Cook Normandy is an initiative by the Normandy Region that invites the public to celebrate the region's gastronomic richness through participatory cooking workshops. In the Eure department, dozens of workshops are organized every autumn by farms, restaurants, associations, and local authorities, allowing everyone to get hands-on and enhance Norman products.

Varied and Accessible Workshops

The workshops, lasting 2 to 3 hours, cover diverse and creative themes: zero-waste cooking to reduce food waste, Norman cocktails based on cider and calvados, budget-friendly cooking for economical and tasty recipes, family cooking to share a convivial moment between generations, and vegetarian cooking to explore new flavors. Participants leave with their recipes and the pride of having cooked local Norman products.

Promoting Local Sectors

The event is part of a commitment to proximity, sustainability, and conviviality. By highlighting Norman dairy products, apples and cider, seafood, seasonal vegetables, and artisanal specialties, Cook Normandy supports the region's agricultural, maritime, and artisanal sectors. The workshops offer an opportunity to meet local producers and understand the short supply chains that sustain the Norman region.

Growing Regional Success

Launched in 2024, the first edition of Cook Normandy brought together over 1,800 participants across 131 workshops organized in the five Norman departments. Building on this success, the event continues to grow with ever more numerous and diverse workshops, confirming the enthusiasm of Normans for their culinary heritage.
