The Cook’s Atelier, a French cooking school, culinary boutique and wine shop in Beaune, France, started out as a dream shared by a mother and daughter with a passion for food and wine.

“We wanted to create a convivial gathering place where we could share our love of food and wine with other home cooks from around the world,” says Marjorie Taylor, who co-founded The Cook’s Atelier, along with daughter, Kendall Smith Franchini.
