Morning Market Visit Cooking Class in Paris

Our Market Visit Cooking Classes in Paris are totally hands-on, taught in English, set in a beautiful location, fund and instructive, and always followed by a scrumptious 3-course meal which is itself served with white and red wine.

These are small classes, with a maximum of 12 participants. During these experiences, you will first meet at with coffee or tea before heading to a local market. After numerous stories and purchase of your ingredients, you will head back. In the class we will cook traditional foods such as Coq au Vin or Boeuf Bourguignon, but we focus the classes on techniques and not just cooking classes, as we want participants to leave with a ‘bag of tricks’ and not just recipes. Recipes can be found from many places, but learning what will make a recipe successful from a professional Chef is what we want you to experience. And of course, our classes are also an opportunity for our (very) small team of Chefs to share their passion for French culture and the relationship between Food and Culture.

STEP 1: As we always cook from scratch, it all starts at the market, where we are going to find the best ingredients – but the market visit will come with a lot more.

STEP 2: Back at school, we will divide and conquer, and start prepping all ingredients to get ready to cook. A good time for the Chef to share tips and tricks on prep.

STEP 3: Once everything is ready we will spend a bit of time talking about “where we are going” – a way to explain how we will cook the different ingredients and most importantly: why this way?

STEP 4: As time goes by, we go through more techniques and cook more – but the smells are starting to make everybody very hungry, and rightly so.

STEP 5: Some ingredients might be new, or it might worth just checking where we are in seasoning for some of the dishes. Tasting is a critical part of ensuring a successful meal, always.

STEP 6: Everybody takes photos of their food nowadays. I guess it is everybody’s recognition that food plating can contribute significantly to the enjoyment of the dish. So we indulge.

STEP 7: OK, we think it looks good; but does it taste good?

STEP 8: And no meal in France would be a real meal without sharing drinks and stories. So your Chef will share your three-course meal, white and red wine and a few stories. Bon appétit!
