2.00I think this would only be suitable for beginning cooks, but the host never asked our level of experience
Waste of time and money!

1.00Unfortunately this was a waste of money and a waste of time. There was no gathering of fresh herbs in her garden or fresh lemons from her tree, yes I know I went in November but that was not part of our experience. For what we paid for this excursion we got maybe $40 in food and drink. The dinner was nothing special, literally a meatball in a pepper and mushroom and an onion tart. We didn’t cook anything, just chopped a few vegetables and one person was maybe mixing the meat and we each rolled one small tart size piece of dough. Very little hands on part of the cooking. Extremely disappointing considering what we paid for this. Just a piece of advice….never talk about politics with people you don’t know!!!
Loved it! Great for solo traveler

5.00What a special evening! I’m traveling solo for a couple of days and wanted to find something local and authentic here in Nice. This was a wonderful time full of conversation and fun! Rebecca showed me some easy recipes as we created dinner. We pulled some chard from her garden, created our own dough (who knew it was so easy?!), and whipped up a tiramisu. Her garden and lemon trees were lovely. I would highly recommend an evening with them! I took an Uber from my hotel (about 15 min drive) and then followed the instructions for entering the gate to their home. It was already dark when I arrived, but the lights of Nice were beautiful from their patio. It was easy to get an Uber home too!

5.00We had such a fun time at this cooking class in Nice! Laurent and Rebecca were amazing-so friendly and great at explaining everything. The setting was gorgeous, and getting hands-on to make the dishes ourselves was the best part. We learned a lot, laughed even more, and left with some delicious memories. Highly recommend!
Perfect activity for foodies

Amazing Cooking Class Experience!

5.00We had such an amazing time at this cooking class! The class takes place in a French villa up in the hills with incredible views of Nice, the countryside, and all the way out to the Mediterranean Sea. The setting is just stunning. Our hosts were charming and welcoming, and make the experience very fun and relaxing. There were six of us in the class, and we were all hands-on, putting together delicious local specialties that we all ate together for dinner. The recipes were emailed to us directly after the class, and we will definitely use these to create the same dishes at home. We took an Uber from and back to our hotel near the beach / Old Town, a very easy and inexpensive process. This cooking class was one of the highlights of our trip — Highly Recommend!!
