A wonderful experience - This was such an enjoyable experience from start to finish. Arrived solo but was with a very friendly group of Dutch and US classmates. Our instructor Chef Luc was a fantastic teacher who has worked at Michelin Star level around the world and was very informative about each dish with top tips on preparation and tasting. The lunch we prepared was delicious and the wine flowed. What a great way to spend a day and perfect for anyone regardless of cooking experience.

French, Food & Fun at Le Foodist - Wonderful experience! Frederic is funny, engaging, and an excellent teacher - though, he’s not a huge fan when you sneak croissants on your break time! 😉 The market visit was eye-opening, the red wine and white wine (used generously for both cooking AND drinking) were delicious, and the entire experience was challenging yet encouraging for aspiring home cooks. 5 out of 5 stars! (Apologies in advance for the terrible quality pictures…)

Cooking in Paris. - The market visit was a great experience. Our chef, Paulo, told us many things about how to choose the vegetables. The cooking experience was educational and fun. I certainly recommend Le Foodist to anyone considering a cooking class in Paris.
