Sarala is a fantastic host. She explained the ingredients that we would be using, the process for making the dishes, and helped us make a delicious meal and dessert. Along the way, she told us about various options for making similar dishes at home. In short, both the food and the experience were excellent!

Bon Appetite!

Regina_F, Jul 2026

We had a great time with Samara learning about local French cuisine. The beurre blanc turned out wonderfully. The shopping stops before we arrived at her apartment added to the evening and dinner accompaniments. This was a personal experience and not a big stainless chef’s kitchen. If that’s what you’re looking for, she’s the one to go to. Bon appetite!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much, Regina! I'm glad you enjoyed the experience. I enjoyed shopping and cooking with the three of you and hearing your stories and insights on food. You're always welcome back!

Fun cooking class

Fun low-key night of cooking. Sarala has great recipes and suggestions for veggie/ vegan replacements in french recipes. The meal we made tasted great! Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you, Kathleen! It was a fun evening with you both. I'm glad you enjoyed the recipes and I hope to see you in Bordeaux again soon.

Cooking class

This was a wonderful experience! She took us to her local shops and then had a delicious vegan meal planned. We all had a night full of French cooking, laughter and sharing. It felt like a dinner party in her lovely French home.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you, Maria! It was so much fun cooking with you ladies, hearing about your fascinating projects and enjoying dinner together. I hope we'll get the chance again!

Vegan Cooking

Shona_M, Jan 2026

A super evening. Very chilled but educational. Certainly changed my mind about vegan cooking. Highly recommend.

Comfortable French cooking experience in Bordeaux apartment

Leslie_T, Aug 2025

Wonderfully comfortable experience where my family learned about French dining, cuisine, and of course preparing delicious French food. My 10 year old son and I recreated the dishes after our class as they were so delicious. Sarala was very flexible with our dietary restrictions and we used amazing substitutes.
