Cook Normandy in Eure

Norman gastronomy within reach

Cuisinez la Normandie (Cook Normandy) is an initiative by the Région Normandie that invites the public to celebrate the gastronomic richness of the territory through participatory cooking workshops. In the Eure department, dozens of workshops are organised 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 flavours. Participants leave with their recipes and the pride of having cooked Norman local products.

Promoting local sectors

The event is part of an approach focused on proximity, sustainability, and conviviality. By highlighting Norman dairy products, apples and cider, seafood, seasonal vegetables, and artisanal specialities, Cuisinez la Normandie supports the agricultural, maritime, and artisanal sectors of the region. The workshops are an opportunity to meet local producers and understand the short supply chains that sustain the Norman terroir.

A well-established regional event

Launched by the Région Normandie in 2022, the Cuisinez la Normandie operation is renewed every autumn, generally between the end of October and the beginning of November. Over the editions, it has brought together more than a hundred workshops spread across the five Norman departments, confirming the enthusiasm of Normans for their culinary heritage and short supply chains.
