Market and Cooking with Chef Dominique

5.00Dominique is a fabulous chef and person to spend the day with. He was very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our experience cooking and attending the market with him very much. We are pescatarian and Dominique had no trouble accommodating. We made cantaloupe soup, fish with white beans, had a cheese tastings and made a fig tart. It was a highlight of our trip.
Good experience but less hand-on

4.00The chef was friendly, definitely an expert, and did a superb job teaching to the different levels of each student. She led us in making three courses which all tasted magnificent. Unlike other classes where each person makes their own plates, this course had us all contributing to the same dish and taking turns at participating which resulted in a lot of standing around watching others. I still learned a lot though while others were up to the plate and with this quality of dish I don’t think it would have been possible for us to each do everything. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the price and less hands-on than I was hoping for.
Wonderful cooking class with a wonderful chef!

5.00The address was not sent to me and was not listed anywhere I could find, I finally gave up looking and clicked the link to contact viator with issues, and that is where I found the address! How weird! instructions sounded confusing to get to the location until I arrived and then it made sense. Once we arrived, it was wonderful. Dominique was Amazing, it was just my teenage daughter and myself and we felt so comfortable in his home. He was so kind and professional. We enjoyed chatting about things to do in Paris while we cooked, and we enjoyed learning about the different cheeses and where they come from and the foods from different parts of France. The food we cooked was delicious and we truly enjoyed ourselves the entire time we were there! It was a great experience!

5.00We had such a wonderful time at this cooking class! Maryam was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful—she shared so many great cooking tips that I can’t wait to try out at home. Her French sense of humor kept us laughing the whole time, which made the experience feel even more special and fun. The class took place in her beautiful apartment, which far exceeded my expectations. The space was charming and elegant, and it added a truly authentic and personal touch to the whole experience. We learned a lot, shared a delicious meal, and had such a memorable time. I’d absolutely recommend this class to anyone looking for a genuine, joyful, and tasty Parisian experience!
