A “Must Do” Experience!! - This cooking class experience was the absolute highlight of our trip to Lyon. Joelle and her husband (who speak English quite well) were so lovely, kind, and patient with our group (myself, my best friend, and our daughters). We started off with our recipes and once we had our main dishes in the oven to cook, we walked to a nearby outdoor market to buy more fresh ingredients (which was an awesome trip with Joelle as she pointed out local delicacies and places worth visiting). Upon our return we finished making our meal and enjoyed it with some delicious red wine on their balcony. The view was amazing from the rooftop - you can see almost all of Lyon from there!! And - Joelle emailed us the recipes so we could return home and make the yummy dishes for our own families! I can not recommend this experience enough :) it was so fun!

Exceptional and Wonderful Culinary Experience - My son and I are very fortunate to share a culinary experience and a great cooking course with Joelle in Lyon and at her beautiful home. We had the opportunity to make various dishes with Joelle. The starter dish was a cheese pastry dough twist. The other dishes include potatoes, shallots, butter covered in French cheese, and cooked in the oven for 1.5 hours. Another dish include pork loin soaked in a cheese and herbed sauce. After lunch, we had chocolate soufflé and various cheeses. Joelle took us for a nice walk at an open air food market selling meat, cheese, seafood, bread and vegetables and fruit. I highly recommend this cooking class in Lyon and with Joelle to potential clients.
