Cần Quan Tâm

We'll meet at the Opera (Grand Theatre) and take a 10 minute stroll down one of the most famous Bordeaux boulevards, passing charming cafés and boutiques. If you wish, we can stop by a local wine shop to pick up a bottle to enjoy with the class. Once we arrive at my apartment, we'll get to know each other over an apéro—a drink and small bites- and I'll introduce our seasonal menu. As I demonstrate the steps you're invited to participate in the cooking as much or as little as you're comfortable with. We’ll generally make the dessert first so it has time to set or bake, and then make a main dish. Example dishes we could make, depending on the season: Mushroom Bourguignon, Beet Tartare, Tomato Tarte Tatin, Crème Brûlée, Mousse au chocolat...and more! The recipes we make will be recreations of French classics and entirely vegan. After cooking, we’ll enjoy conversation and laughter over a beautiful candlelit dinner. I’ll also be happy to offer my recommendations for discovering Bordeaux. Please note: Due to regulations, alcohol is not included but you are welcome to bring your own wine or stop along the way at lovely local wine shop to pick up a bottle to enjoy with the class.

This was a wonderful experience! She took us to her local shops and then had a delicious vegan meal planned. We all had a night full of French cooking, laughter and sharing. It felt like a dinner party in her lovely French home.
Fantastic cooking class experience in Bordeaux

Absolutely fantastic experience. First, since it was a cooking class, the food was absolutely delicious. Sarlat was very capable of engaging with people with widely different expertise in cooking. And her life experiences made for very interesting conversation. We absolutely enjoyed the experience and would strongly recommend. Vegan French sounds a bit strange but it was delicious without compromise (speaking as a meat eater).
I'd do it again!

The host was gracious, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating. The setting was absolutely wonderful, and the instruction was thoughtful, thorough, and genuinely helpful throughout the experience. We prepared both the dinner and dessert ourselves, then sat down to enjoy a beautifully presented and carefully plated meal together. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting France. It offers a rare opportunity to experience French culture in a warm, personal, and intimate way that feels both authentic and memorable.

During our stay in Bordeaux my wife and I had a unique and wonderful culinary experience with Sarala. The special day started with Sarala at the Capucins Market, which opened in 1749. We shared coffee and croissants and wandered around the spectacular market buying things needed for lunch. After the market Sarala guided us through gorgeous medieval streets, stopping at a few special food & wine shops en route to her home. Once at her home she made us completely welcome and we all joined in creating a special vegan lunch. Sarala was a wonderful hostess. We will never forget the experience for which we are ever so grateful.
Personal, Passionate and Authentically French

Sarala applies her cookbook writing expertise to translate French sensibilities and dishes into plant-based recipes. Doing this in a home-based setting left me feeling that I could replicate it with friend at home. The explanations were clear and simple, the recipes doable. The atmosphere was that of making dinner with a friend. I was happy to find out Sarala also offers non-vegan and vegetarian classes and is considering adding wine pairings. I am looking forward to taking another class here the next time I am in Bordeaux!
Intimate and real whole food based vegan food cooking class

This cooking class was so lovely! My friend and I were in Bordeaux for the weekend and the class with Sarala felt like we were visiting our friend. Her vegan dishes are truly creative. No artificial food or fake cheese kind of things which I am not a fan of so it was wonderful to see how she had interesting alternatives based on whole foods, such as her tahini cheese. Thanks so much for this wonderful evening!

Vegetarian french cooking?! Sacré bleu! Cannot wait to order Sarala’s beautiful cookbook and try every recipe! Including hands-on preparation techniques. A truly memorable and life enriching experience given by a passionate expat in a gloriously authentic setting.

Sarala was a fabulous host/chef. My wife and I had the evening with just us and Sarala and it felt like having dinner with a friend. She took classic Bordelaise dishes and made them vegan. Beet tartare instead of beef tartare was brilliant. She used coconut cream instead of cream for the soup which was delicious. We will definitely book this again next time we are in Bordeaux.
Yes, vegan food can be filling! And delicious!

I thoroughly enjoyed my evening with Sarala. I am not vegan, but thought I would learn some recipes for my daughter. Sarala has a gorgeous, comfortable apartment, is very knowledgeable and creative in vegan cooking, and is a warm, genuine person. I highly recommend this class. I had a lovely time.
