4.00My husband LOVES to cook so I booked this as a date night in Paris. It was the right call! We both had a wonderful time but he really enjoyed learning new techniques and is excited to try them when we return home to the U.S. Our group was small and our chef was very personable. The food was delicious too! Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to do your part in the kitchen.
A ‘taste’ of what it’s like to be a Parisian!

5.00What a fabulous experience for those who want to know more about french markets, cuisine and have an amazing experience cooking. Chef Paulo was so thoughtful as he walked us through the market and shared with us his knowledge of everything from produce to seafood to cheese. Once we were all at the kitchen, it was another deep dive into technique, history and all things food. Chef Paulo was patient and kept us moving right along until the food was prepared and we all sat down like a family at the end of the night to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Will definitely do it again when we visit Paris again. Thank you Chef Paulo for a great first night on our adventure in France.
