What a great experience! - This was such a fun and educational experience! Chef Luc was a great instructor and helped us understand the provenance of food and wine in France, as well as how to select the freshest produce. Once in the kitchen, he was a great guide, taking care to accommodate all the various experience levels of his students. His sense of humor and storytelling ability made the class a joy. Highly recommend this experience!

Fantastic day of cooking and company! - Had just the very best time! Such a fun day. The market excursion was so fun thanks to Frédérique. We had such a nice group of people in our class. We all just fell in love with Frédérique. The dishes we made were fantastic. Cannot wait to try at home. Highly recommend this tour.

Fabulous Fred - and food! - A great experience - loved getting an insight into French grocery shopping at the markets. Fred is fabulous! A lovely chef with good tips and knowledge with a sense of humour that appealed to our Aussie side.

What a fantastic introduction to cooking culture in Paris!! - Chef Luc was fun, knowledgeable, talented and welcoming. The trip to the market and a local cheese shop was great and included his explanations of what quality ratings to look for, and the history of the 5 types of cheese. So interesting! Then we went back to the kitchen and had all kinds of fun cooking and eating our delicious meals. I highly recommend including this experience early in your trip!

Cooking experience in Paris - Lovely way to spend the day while in Paris. Frederique took us to the market and we shopped for the items needed for our menu- which we were able to make sure fit everyone's likes! Made a lovely cauliflower veloute, salmon with beurre blanc, vanilla ice cream with poached pears- what a treat! Everyone helped with a small part of the cooking- so not a full-on cooking experience per se, but helped build a larger-view understanding of how to prepare the meal and some key techniques.
