A Wonderful Parisian Cooking Experience with Chef Catalina Botero! - During my Euro tour, someone recommended the classes of chefcatalinabotero, so I searched her on Instagram and booked through her landing page. The reservation was super easy! When we arrived, we found ourselves in a beautiful neighborhood in Paris. Her kitchen is inside a modern and nicely decorated apartment with direct street access, which is very convenient (especially if you want to step outside for a cigarette). I joined the class with my mother, and we had such a great time. Catalina and her husband Brian are young, kind, and very welcoming. They not only shared their cooking knowledge but also gave us useful travel tips and stories from their own adventures. The cooking part was amazing! The kitchen was fully equipped with professional tools, and Catalina always kept a positive attitude while teaching us techniques and preparations. At first, I felt a little nervous, but thanks to their friendliness I quickly relaxed and enjoyed learning in a fun way. We even ended the class with a delicious coffee, which made everything extra special. This experience felt truly Parisian much better than just going to a restaurant where you pay more and don’t get the joy of learning. I am very grateful, and my mother and I will always keep this memory. Plus, we fell in love with their adorable pets, Ike and Lola! I highly recommend this unique cooking experience in Paris!

Fantastic Cooking Class For Our Family - Chef Catalina runs an excellent cooking class that was the highlight of our 14-year-old son's trip to Paris. The classes are customizable, affordable, delicious, and authentic. Chef Catalina was able to craft a class that was perfect for our son. He's an aspiring chef, so her techniques and good humor were a perfect fit. The classes are small and provide a great flavor of Paris. It's also an outstanding value. Chef Catalina's classes are more authentic AND better priced than many tourist operators that I saw online. We can't wait until we come back.

We Had Fun, Learned a Lot, and Enjoyed a Delicious Three-Course Lunch - My friend and I had Chef Catalina all to ourselves so our learning experience was tailored to our needs. We loved the hands-on approach of the class, which definitely improved our knife skills. Catalina, assisted by her friendly American husband, established a relaxed atmosphere, with lots of laughter and storytelling—but we never lost our focus on putting together a beautiful and delicious three-course lunch. This experience rates an A-plus, for sure. It was the highlight of our weeklong trip. Highly recommended for all levels of cooking expertise, from beginners to pros.

Wonderful cooking class experience - What a great experience we had! The knife skills, the cooking techniques, the delicious meal, all wonderful! It was my daughter's birthday and Catalina made a delicious chocolate cake and placed candles for her... Such a sweet gesture! Also, Catalina does not rush your time...you actually feel like you are invited to a friend's dinner party. A memorable and wonderful Paris experience!

Would travel back to Paris just for the class! - Chef Catalina, her husband Brian, and their two adorable dogs were such a warm and fun welcome on the first full day of our trip to France. Chef is so talented and passionate. She really took the time to explain culinary techniques and ingredient information with us. She was very hands on with teaching us, and I think this approach will help me retain the skills. The tastings and snacks throughout, the wine with the meal, the fun anecdotes, everything was awesome! Loved how Brian would run out for fresh bread, butter,etc. – felt like we were at home with friends. The 6 person class size was great for meeting people and having conversations, while still getting 1-on-1 cooking tips. For the finale, Chef made the most incredible chocolate cake and shared Colombian coffee with us - my bf and I will never forget it.

Highlight of our trip to Paris! - Chef Catalina and her husband, Brian could not have been more fabulous. My husband and I attended with our 3 college aged children and we had a wonderful time. We learned great knife and cooking skills and the meal was excellent. One of the best we had on our trip. Catalina and Brian welcomed us into their home, their warmth and humor paired with Catalina’s expertise was perfect. Highly recommend!
