The Chef was amazing. . .experienced, knowledgeable, patient and with a wonderful sense of humor. The end result of the four hour class was wanting more time with this talented Chef. The Croissants we made were delicious! AND at the end of the class the six students had tea, coffee, juice and Croissants. YUM! PLUS we received a copy of the recipe and a box of Croissants.

Fantastic experience. Highly recommend! Was a delight from start yo finish. Gorgeous venue, pleasant staff & chefs, fun & informative. Making your own pan au Chocolat & criossants for breakfast in paris. Do loads more cooking option classes too which we’ll definitely try next time.

Great class!

Great croissants

Judy Z, Sep 2018

Very comprehensive class, great instructions and delicious results.I think although labor. And time intensive, it’s doable.

Wonderful!

Marcia_L, Aug 2018

I took my 11 year old granddaughter to this class because she loves to bake. Hugo, our pastry chef, was really kind and fun. It was a great experience for all who attended!

Cannot say enough wonderful things...

Mindyjo G, May 2018

Cannot say enough wonderful things about this experience. Book well in advance is it sells out quickly. Terrific hands on experience. Fabulous instructors and perfect small class size. We would go again in a heartbeat if only for the tasting. They also offer macaroon baking and wine tasting/pairing classes. If only we had more time.

This was the best! Amanda was friendly, informative and so pleasant we could have stayed in her kitchen all day. The croissant making process is much longer than I ever assumed but this class went so fast and was so enjoyable I would recommend it to everyone. Very hands on and the croissants were delicious. If I ever get back to Paris I would definitely take another one of her classes.

le foodist....we arrived a bit early...

fred w, May 2017

le foodist....we arrived a bit early and waited outside to accomadate the the dinner class that was finishing there program...not a problem...we took a few photos and as the party exited we either spoke to them of where they were from or how much they enjoyed the activity . We were pleasantly invited inside and they appologized for having the remnants of the previous party still in our entrance area we were escorted to an area for a short wait and some conversation...very pleasant clean and fresh basement area again greeted and escorted to a kitchen area and given space to accomadate our outer ware then aprons were handed out for our baking experience. Amanda greeted us and we proceeded through the process , with a break for coffee or water and were offered a bit of wine that was delish...I will say that Fred and Amanda owners/operators as well as the other staff members were very kind , helpful friendly in all aspects of our stay and the program and the croissants were also delish our take home box..we used through our remaining days for breakfast with great Paris coffee.We look forward to returning home and making our own Paris style croissants...mmmmm. I/We would recommend Le foodist for all there activities...ps cabies just a short block and 1/2 on the left side of the main intersection...loved it ..viva la France...again thank you Fred and Amanda.........fred and karen

Our cooking class was so much fun! The instructor made it very easy to follow along and perform the hands-on parts. When we were done we were able to bring all our croissants home with us! They even tasted good! I would totally recommend this class to everyone!

What a fun afternoon! The cooking school was absolutely adorable. We learned to bake croissants from a professional pastry chef. He was very encouraging and full of tips. He was talented at baking and at teaching. We will definitely do this again!

Alpesh P, Feb 2016

Amanda was awesome !! It was so much pleasure learning with her and she was so sweet and happy in teaching that someone like me who had entered the kitchen for the first time in his life loved it and whereas my wife who's and expert cook loved it as well. Which only goes on to show that she could handle 2 extreme ends of people with ease. I would highly recommend this to all who read this !! Thanks Amanda once again !!

Theresa S, Sep 2015

This cooking class was the highlight of my Paris trip. Amanda was so sweet and patient and the facility was immaculate. We made beautiful croissants and got to bring a doz or so home with us. If I had more time, I would have done another class with her!
