We set up LifeLanguedoc to help people experience the cuisine and healthy lifestyles of the Languedoc region of the South of France.
Dr Richard Hoffman, PhD is a university lecturer who carries out research on plants and food as preventive medicine. He undertakes research interest on the health-benefits of the Mediterranean diet and lifestyle. He has appeared on both BBC television and BBC radio discussing the health benefits of wine. He has run several successful adult education evening classes on the Mediterranean diet, and is currently writing a book on its health benefits.
Marella Buckley is a life-coach and former lecturer on French culture whose recent book, Magnets, celebrates the Languedoc landscape. She is a qualified lifecoach (NLP and Core Energy Management) and experienced workshop-leader. She creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere where people can explore the subject at their own pace. A fluent French speaker, her work has won major financial awards from the French government, and a trilogy of her books on French literature is being published in 2007.
Richard and Marella have a home in the Languedoc, with many years' experience of the region where they are part of the community. Their large network of personal contacts with local food producers, and in-depth knowledge of the cuisine and heritage enable them to offer a truly unique holiday experience. Their holidays are supported by a local chef who runs cookery classes in the region and by a world authority on the Mediterranean diet who lives in the region.
