5.00Really cool and unique experience. The description says that alcohol isn’t provided, but he had a few bottles of white sparkling wine. If you want something fun to do this is a great time!

5.00Chef was a understandable guest and we learned while we had no experience in cooking. Learn about the city’s history and places to visit. The three-hour trade was just as timeless as the length of the Wakatma Sheef helped someone or sought a sweet crystal. A boost on that we learned 3 things. They gave us an idea of how many billion and France we can visit.
Highly recommend!

5.00The highlight of our trip! We learned how to make pralines, praline cookies and a praline tart. Chef Lyon, Thierry-Rodolphe, was high-energy, fun to be with and an awesome instructor. In addition to teaching us about an iconic Lyon dish he took the time to give us lots of backstories about the pastries and the town of Lyon. Highly recommend this as a must-do experience.
Yes Chef.

5.00It was a superb class. Terrie is an excellent teacher, very friendly, personable, and enthusiastic about teaching. My wife and I did two different big tarts per person from scratch and it was fun.

5.00Fun experience making biscuits, tart & praline. Chef kept us in line and on track with humor. Finished products are presented boxed and bagged….. so at least I looked professional!! And they tasted good too…
