“Worth a detour” as Michelin Guide would say. - Outstanding experience, a lot of fun and a lot of learning about French cooking. It was a real hands on experience with guidance from the chef so that one was immersed in producing dishes that were delicious and authentic. A lot more fun than a restaurant and you leave with recipes that are doable at home and memories of a great culinary experience. Highly recommended nn

Unforgettable Market Visit and Paris Cooking Class with Chef Frédéric - Our family of six (all adults) took the Paris Evening Cooking Class with the Market Visit, and it was truly a wonderful, memorable experience! Chef Frédéric made the evening unforgettable. His enthusiasm, knowledge, and wit created a fun yet educational environment from start to finish. From the market tour and public transportation ride to the hands-on cooking and the shared dinner with new friends, Chef Frédéric continuously shared insights into Parisian culture, food, and cooking. We enjoyed a cheese tasting at the market, learned techniques for prepping and plating French dishes, and gained valuable cooking skills along the way. Chef Frédéric’s organization and energy were impressive. He made sure everyone participated in prep, cooking, and plating—no bystanders allowed—which kept the class lively and engaging. Thank you, Chef Frédéric, for an evening filled with laughter, learning, and delicious food. A truly memorable highlight of our time in Paris!

Three Course French Dinner - I had a great experience with Chef Paolo at a recent class where we cooked a 3 course dinner. The group was just the right size - we could all participate, be part of the discussion & still get to know each other. Chef Paolo has a very interesting and accomplished background & was a great teacher. Even tho a few of us had some food & beverage background, we all learned alot, including some basic techniques. It was a really fun and educational evening!!

10/10 do it ! - Amazing class and one not to be missed!! Paulo was absolutely wonderful! He was so knowledgeable about cooking and food and I learned a lot about cheese. He planned a delicious menu of a cauliflower soup, fish in a sauce with a side of ratatouille and finished it off with poached pear in chocolate with homemade ice cream. The class was interactive and I would do again! Thanks Paulo!

Knowledgeable & Fun Cooking Class! - Paolo was very knowledgeable and made the experience so fun! I feel like we learned about the importance of food in French culture, some history as well as how to prepare it. I'd say our group had a lot of fun working together with each other and making the whole experience better. I loved the being able to eat in between the cooking. The food was simplistic but good and something I can easily recreate at home. This is definitely an experience I'd want to do again and hope that Paolo is my guide! He mentioned that he likes to change the menu often just to make sure he's cooking with the most seasonal ingredients!

Disappointed! - Unfortunately this was not a pleasant experience! I was hoping to learn things, including some knife skills. That was not the case, the chef just talked and talked and did not offer any personal tips at all. It cost a lot of money! After 5 1/2 hours we finally ate. Were not offered a glass of wine until 7:30 pm, event starting at 4:30. Was looking forward to this and was very disappointed!!
