What you can expect

Cook'n with Class is not only a French cooking school, it is also a place to have fun, to learn some French dishes, to taste new foods and also to interact with people. This is a hands-on experience so  no sitting back and just watching here.

The maximum number of students per class is 6. All classes are taught in English and/or French.

The school is like a cozy studio, so you have a lounge area where you can sit down and relax before the class starts, have a drink of water, wine or coffee. The idea is to create a space that is both functional and feels like home, with a bit of music just to put you in the mood. As we said, it is a fun class, so no stress, we are not competing against one another.

Generally we will be cooking everything together, with each participant having his or her own dish to prepare, so you can eat what YOU have done.

The cooking portion of the class lasts about 2 hours.

At the end of the session, when everybody is ready, we can finally sit down and enjoy our meal together with a good bottle of wine.

Our classes

Reductions are given for a your second class

Morning Market Class

Our market classes consist of a visit to a local market to discover the seasonal ingredients and fresh produce. Learning how to select fresh products is the first step to good cooking and good eating. Meet local merchants to whom you are welcome to ask questions and overcome any apprehension you may have about shopping in French markets.

Back at the school we will have a brief discussion about the day's menu and the ingredients, you will be provided with an apron and have a quick reminder on how to handle a knife safely.

Class duration - 4 hours

Evening Class

Class starts at 5h30pm. We will cook for 2h30 hours essentially following the same format as the morning class. At the end of the cooking portion, we will sit down to eat what we have prepared. Just before the dessert we will have a little cheese and wine tasting. This is the typical traditional way the French eat.

Class duration - 3 hours

Full-day class

This class starts with the market class as described above. After lunch, we have a 3hours break, we will return to work at 5h30, to prepare a more elaborate gourmet meal. You also have the possibility to take the dinner home with you.

We will prepare one foie gras terrine to prepare for 2 people and 2 preparations of warm foie gras to be eating in class. December only.

Cheese & Wine Tasting

A cheese and wine tasting experience with select cheeses from local merchants. The focus of this class is to learn which wines are best with which cheese. French jams and other preserves that are normally paired with cheese will also be provided - and of course we will not forget the bread.

Champagne Tour

Rendezvous at the school at 8:30 am for a 9 am departure. A small French continental breakfast  will be provided. The drive to Reims is about 2 hours. Upon arrival in Reims we will  go directly to the first vineyard for a 1 hour visit. You are free for lunch in town and we will meet again at 3 pm so you will have enough time to visit the town as well as the famous cathedral. In the afternoon we will visit another vineyard before heading back to Paris. The cost includes, transportation to and from Reims, and entry fees to the vineyards. We will be a small group of no more than 8 including your chef

Duration - 10 hours (approximately) May to October
