Luc was absolutely...

Luc was absolutely amazing! He took us to a charming local market to gather all the ingredients for the day, and we also stopped by a delightful cheese shop where we learned about the history of different cheeses. Luc made the entire process of preparing a three course meal feel fun, easy, and seamless. It was such a memorable experience to share with my daughter. We will definitely do this again on our next trip to Paris!

Great experience

A great experience. Not as complicated as expected as Nickolas explained each step in detail. One of the best things we did while in Paris. The studio was very clean. Nickolas was very friendly. Showed amazing patience as we had 3 children under age 10 in our class.

Excellent experience of a French bakery

We spent a fabulous 3 hours with our guide Paula, who was kind and welcoming and very knowledgeable. We were given a free drink and pastry on arrival, then we spent time in the kitchens learning how to make baguettes, financiers and croissants. We were given the opportunity to get hands on and we were given lots to take home. There were only 3 of us on this tour (we did Sat afternoon at 13:30) so lots of time and space for questions and to get to know each other. We highly recommend this tour!

Great experience!

We took the baguette, financiers, and croissant class yesterday in Paris and it was one of the highlights of our trip. David was an incredible instructor—engaging, funny, interesting, and clearly passionate and knowledgeable about baking. He made the entire experience fun and approachable, even for non-professionals. We learned so much and left with fresh, warm baguettes, perfect financiers, and beautiful croissants that we were proud of. The class was well-organized, delicious, and genuinely enjoyable. Highly recommend this experience—worth every penny! Merci David!

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!

Enjoyed this experience...

Enjoyed this experience with my daughter on her 24th birthday. The sommelier was extremely knowledgeable and approachable with questions. He paired each wine course with a cheese from the same region and explained how the flavor of the wines were enhanced with the different cheeses. A super fun and informative experience!

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!
