What guests are saying
The cooking class with Odile was amazing and one of the highlights of my trip to Paris! Her apartment is gorgeous and located in a very nice upscale neighbourhood, so it was great to see a local Parisien home like that. The cooking process itself was a lot of fun during which Odile showed us how to make pumpkin soup, cheese soufflé and chocolate cake. Odile and her husband are both really nice and welcoming people, and we had a lot of great conversations over lunch about France, Paris, tech industry, and cooking. Thank you Odile for the great time! Definitely recommend to anyone who wants an authentic cooking experience in Paris with locals.
We visited Gaby's and Carlos' flat on our first night in Paris in celebration of my daughter's birthday. From the moment we walked in the door, we felt like family or old friends. After talking for a while, Carlos and my daughter went over to the kitchen to start making chouquettes. Gaby made terrific conversation while they were busy making pastries. I could not have imagined a better way to introduce my daughter to Paris for the first time. The food was only surpassed by getting to make new friends. Thanks for being wonderful and we look forward to seeing you the next time we are in Paris!
Eduardo was a consummate host and the perfect teacher. He explains the recipes, demonstrates the proper techniques and then offers guidance and encouragement as you make your own galettes and crepes. Finally, you get to enjoy not only a sense of accomplishment, but a terrific meal. Highly recommended, absolutely loved the class, we had a great time!
