Fun family activity with delicious results

Me, my husband and our 8 year old attended the macaron class today with Felix as our chef. We had such an amazing time! Felix made it fun and easy for us, and the end product was really impressive. Great family activity; I’d do it again in a heartbeat! My only regret is not booking the croissant class as well!

Our first time in Paris and this was an amazing experience! The host was gracious, funny, and very engaging. We had a great time learning how to bake baguettes and croissants. He made the class so much fun! The bakery owner was very nice & knowledgeable, and he had a beautiful shop with lovely pastries and baked goods. I would highly recommend this experience.

The Best of Paris

We thoroughly enjoyed our baking experience. My husband said it was the best part of our visit to Paris. We learned how to make and shape baguettes, croissants, and small cakes. We were able to sample items and take home are finished baguettes. Valentina was an excellent teacher and made the whole experience fun and informative.

Best cooking class with Paulo

This is a wonderful gathering! I did the market and dinner class. Paulo is a great chef. The market was amazing . Paulo explained how to read the signs to know what you’re buying. The cooking class was well done. Paulo kept us moving along while showing us kitchen techniques. I learned a lot in this class and can’t wait to try these dishes at home as they send the recipes to you. I was a solo traveler and the group was very welcoming! I highly recommend this tour if you love good food!

Hustling bustling baking experience!

We came here on a Saturday morning and the bakery was bustling. You could tell it was a locally run shop. It was a really great experience to be part of the action. The dough for the baguette and croissant are premade so we got to roll it out. But we learned about the French way of kneading and rolling. We did make some financiers from scratch which was fun, and something we would make when we get home. Would recommend but set your expectations.

My mom and I loved this...

My mom and I loved this class. We do enjoy baking occasionally but never attempted to make croissants. This class was very particular and specific with instructions that make the whole process easy to follow, helping anyone to make great croissants. The teachers were very knowledgeable and made the class fun. The end results were delicious and we went home with 4 croissants and 4 pain au chocolat EACH. Would recommend this class!

Great lesson in the history of French Baking.

David shared such wonderful history about the Baguette, Financier, and the croissant. He was super patient with letting me ask many questions and he took the time to answer them all. You will get covered with flour, so should wear layers, with a short sleeve shirt underneath. This is a working bakery, which is advertised as a plus, as opposed to taking a class in a school. It is fascinating to learn about the history of this particular bakery and how it operates. The downside, of being in this setting, is that the baking area is quite small. Fortunately, my husband and I were the only two taking the class. I am very thankful that it was not cancelled! Honestly, I cannot imagine how the area can fit 8 people, with each being able to get "hands on" experience. Speaking of hands on. Note that this is a working bakery that turns out 600 baguettes each day. The dough we use has already been mixed and kneaded and proofed. So, you will not learn how to knead dough. You will learn how to shape the baguette and the croissant. We did actually make the financier! And they were delicious! As was the hot baguettes, fresh from the oven. Since it was the two of us, we had the very good fortune of leaving with a bag of financiers and baguettes! Although they almost didn't make it to the metro station lol

A Deliciously Unique Experience

Chef Carole was so lovely to open her home to my daughter and I. She showed us how to make some traditional French holiday recipes that were absolutely delicious and we both felt like we could replicate them when we get home. She went over the ingredients in great detail, letting us know where they were from and how the flavor profiles worked together. As people who don’t usually “dabble” in the kitchen, we are now inspired to do so together more. Thank you Chef Carole for the truly amazing and unique experience!
