Chef and his class was a major highlight of our trip to Lyon. We learned a lot and he was patient with my poor knife skills. Will absolutely recommend this class.

This is the ultimate foodie dream experience! Going to the market and step by step instructions by the AMAZING Chef Theirry!! Wow then you get to eat your creation! My husband and I had the best time and have been talking about it ever since! We thought we knew how to break down a chicken… nope! Now we do thanks to Chef! Learning about Lyon and why it’s so special was a bonus! We highly recommend taking time to dip in the authentic Lyon experience with a wonderful human and master Chef! Thank you!
