About Chef Walter
With a strong background in the creative and visual arts, Chef Walter’s style can best be described as “gastronomic bistro”. Having completed a “Diplome de Cuisine” at the famed Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Institute in Paris, as well as the highly rated Walnut Grove Cookery School in France’s Loire Valley, Walter relies on his French training and techniques to assure top quality, but remembers his Texas roots and always cooks from the heart! During week-long Adventures, Walter always includes a mix of the Classics and Regional recipes, as well as a healthy dose of original recipes.
“I love when a plate looks beautiful; however, I feel like a dish should be tasty AND satisfying on its own, and not dependent on several other courses to make you satisfied.”
