Our chef instructor, Gerald, provided us with a well crafted recipe and shared his exquisite insight into preparing Duck Magret. He made all of us feel very special, comfortable, and confident with his instructional methods. Bravo!

Gerald was a fantastic instructor! Very personable and able to explain every detail about creating and cooking a quiche. In addition, we made a vinaigrette to have on our salad which was delicious!

This was going to be the highlight of my visit to Paris. I got up early and took an Uber to the class address. I even arrived 30 minutes early. After waiting over 30 minutes for the class, no one showed up. I finally got ahold of someone at the service desk within the store where the class was to be held. I was told that the class was canceled and I should’ve been notified. I was not notified! It was a waste to half of a vacation day. Shame on Viator and the so-called cooking school!

flavor is the emphasis so one learns to captalize all of the ingredients. I would prefer to have cooked the meat more than we did.

What a lovely way to spend a very hot day. Gerald was a great teacher. We had a fabulous lamb lunch and got parting gifts. It felt like we got a bargain!

Chef was very knowledgable and engaging with the group. Our family loves to cook and we learned a few new tips.

The cooking class was excellent. The chef provided great detail and tips on how to prepare the chicken and vegetables. I had never made a white sauce. I plan to get French cookbooks and expand my knowledge of French cooking techniques. The meal that we prepared was excellent.

The cooking class was amazing! What a great ‘souvenir’ to take home with us…the incredible learnings, recipe, and memory of a unique experience.

A genuine experience, learn new skills, and enjoy amazing food! You won’t believe what you will be able to do! Chef Gerard was fantastic! He is so skilled, an amazing teacher, taught in several languages, and was so supportive and friendly! The class was the highlight of our trip! I can’t wait to impress everyone at home!

The chef made our time very memorable and explained in detail all intricacies of the dish. Learned a lot in very cozy atmosphere, recommended!

It was a great experience and the Chef gave us a lot of cooking tips. He was really friendly too. I would highly recommend this cooking experience.
Arne_W, Jan 2024
Since the class is in a department store, we expected more of a demonstration and were absolutely delighted that it was very much hands on. The chef was comfortably bilingual -- the other four in the class were French speaking -- and the quality of the instruction was very high level. For about what a good lunch would have cost the two of us in a pleasant Paris restaurant, we were treated to a great learning and dining experience. Highly recommended!!

It was an amazing experience with chef Elise, learned a lot about chef mastery skills. The plate we prepared was very delicious.
Would definitely recommend 😊

We absolutely loved the cooking class with Chef Eric. The cooking skills and tips were helpful and the meal we created was delicious. We loved every moment cooking and then sitting down with Chef to enjoy our creation. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our class. We can wait to make our dinner for friends at home. Elisa our chef was pleasant and accommodating to our dietary needs. Instruction was clear and helpful when we were unsure if things were going right.
Susan_S, Mar 2023
We thorough enjoyed our cooking class at Ferrandi Kitchen in Galeries Lafayette. The kitchen was well appointed in a beautiful windowed space. The instructor was excellent. and the dish we prepared was delicious but not so complicated that we can’t make it at home. I really liked the instruction on plating our meal as they would in a restaurant. Presentation is so important. Definitely would do this again

The most fun for me was taking the class with my daughter, who is turning out to be quite a good cook!

６人レッスンでシェフとの会話も気軽にできてよかったです。英語とフランス語のレッスンです。少人数なのでシェフの作業がよく見えて、とても参加になりました。使用したエプロンとレシピをもらえます。出来上がったお料理はグラスワインと共にシェフといただきます。
Sarah_S, Jan 2022
Le contact avec la cheffe qui est très dynamique et répond à nos multiples questions
Bonne technique
Très bon plat
Un point négatif cependant :
Un peu cher (j’ai eu l’occasion de faire d’autres cours de cuisine aussi bien et beaucoup plus abordables)
