Market tour & hands-on cooking classes in Paris
Prepare a seasonal, modern french meal inspired by some of the best bistros in Paris. The menu will be based on your culinary goals and preferences. We accommodate your dietary restrictions (vegetarian, gluten free and allergies) as best as possible.
Our Paris cooking classes in English are for a minimum of two and a maximum of eight. Solo travelers are welcome to join a class already scheduled for other participants. This intimate setting allows for personal attention, quality time, and gourmandise. Our students are our guests, we make sure they feel comfortable and have fun.
Cooking classes take place in our private apartment, ideally located on the right bank in a historic Marais building, 15 minutes from Les Halles, providing the very best environment for culinary enthusiasts to develop their french repertoire. We want you to reproduce our recipes when you go home .. and you do, adding your personal touch.
Market tour and cooking classes schedule
Prior to each class, we meet at the market and visit some of the best, most exclusive purveyors in Paris for our ingredients. You learn how to select produce, fish, meat and/or poultry as well as visit a local fromagerie to purchase cheese for a comprehensive tasting and discussion.
Back in our specially equipped kitchen designed around a custom Lacanche range, we prepare a full meal including a starter, main course and dessert. This will most often include Paule’s celebrated tarte crust (a recipe used by many serious bakers including David Lebovitz). We explain each recipe and the techniques involved, answering your questions, and exchanging ideas. Lunch is served with the perfect wine pairing and conversation flows. We willingly share our best tips and addresses in Paris and France.
Cooking class follow up
Your questions and comments are welcome, once you are back in your kitchen, planning to replicate the menu we cooked together. Having successfully done so, many of you return year after year for more recipes and inspiration.
