Chef Lyon - Chef Thierry! THE BEST! - Chef Thierry is a force of nature in the kitchen! We started our morning by walking to the local outdoor markets and choosing the freshest produce, cheese and poultry of the day for our market day cooking class. We stopped by the local boulangerie to select breads and to share croissants and cafe! We enjoyed local a cheese selection and education, which was paired with wine and bread (a nice tea for those who don’t drink wine). We were taught the best way to cut a hen. We prepared two chicken dishes - one a mustard cream base and the other a vinegar base. We also made crepe/pancake topped with a savory mushroom mixture. And two desserts; a Lyon praline tart and a fresh fig tart. And finally, we made a brioche bread product! So delicious and delicate. It was such a great experience. We enjoyed meeting others. Chef Thierry teaches many other classes. But I loved the length and depth of the market cooking class. He made the experience by his good humor and in-depth knowledge. Merci Beaucoup Chef!

Fabulous experience. - What a fabulous day! Starting at a busy local market with amazing offerings then to the kitchen class for a local cheese tour then to cooking with Thierry. He was instructive and much fun! We then ate our three course meal together and also got lots of local lore from Thierry. A really wonderful day in Lyon.

Wonderful experience with Chef Thierry - Planning our first trip to Lyon, my husband and I wanted to learn about Lyonnaise cuisine from an expert. This tour exceeded our expectations. We met at Chef Tierry’s charming cooking studio (atelier) and went on a tour of the beautiful Lyon produce and cheese market. Ina Garten would surely swoon over this place! Back at the studio, Thierry educated us on the impact of cheese production and aging (tasting samples as we learned). We then made delicious French dishes from scratch including Coq au vin, a praline tart, and Lyonnaise desert pastries. Best of all, we enjoyed our meal with Cote du Rhône and chatted about Thierry’s experience as a chef and restauranteur. Thierry is an excellent and entertaining educator and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. Highly recommend!

I would do this again!! - Everything about this experience was perfect. Chef was fun as well as informed about food, culture AND history. We enjoyed every element—the location, the tour, the company, the cooking and of course, the wine and meal!!

Great cooking experience with a French Chef! - Chef Thierry was amazing! We had such a great experience in Lyon cooking with him! We started off with walking over to a local farmers market together and picking out fresh ingredients for our recipes. Then we heading back to the cooking location, ate some cheese with wine and began to prep our food and cook! Chef Thierry was very kind and helpful as we are not the most experienced cooks. After we made all 3 courses we were able to sit down and enjoy the delicious meal together and learn more about Chef. Overall it was an outstanding experience and we are very glad to have chosen to do this during our time in Lyon!
