Cook beside a chef, in Paris.
In your own kitchen or a beautiful Paris address, a Michelin-level chef turns an afternoon into a class: a market walk, a menu built by hand, techniques you keep for good, and a dinner you sit down to because you cooked it.
Chefs from starred kitchens, teaching at your worktop.
Our chefs come from Michelin-starred restaurants, and several hold a star of their own. They cook the way France’s finest kitchens cook, and in a class, they show you exactly how.
A good teacher makes the hard things look simple. Ours break a dish down to its moves, correct your knife, share the tricks a recipe never writes down. You leave with technique you keep, not just an afternoon you enjoyed.
One class, your cuisine.
Tell us what you have always wanted to master. The chef builds the class around it, from the fundamentals to a dish you will make for years.
French classics
Blanquette, a proper sauce, a soufflé that actually rises: the backbone of French cooking, taught cleanly. The dishes you will cook again, done the way a great kitchen does them.
Pastry & desserts
Tarts, choux, macarons, a chocolate dessert finished at the table. The precise, satisfying craft of French pâtisserie, with a pastry chef who makes it feel possible.
Market & seasonal
Start at the market, choose what is best that morning, then build the menu around it. The way chefs actually cook, and the habit you take home.
Your dream dish
The plate you tasted once and never forgot. Bring it to us and the chef reverse-engineers it with you, step by step, until it is yours.
Pick a theme, we bring the chef.
Every class is private and built for your table, a couple, a family or a group of friends. Tell us the theme; the chef does the rest.
A glass in hand while you cook.
A class is better with a glass. Add a sommelier and the afternoon becomes a tasting too: what to pour with what you are making, why a Chablis lifts the butter, how a red carries the sauce. You cook, you taste, you learn both.
Prefer to keep it simple? A single well-chosen bottle per dish is plenty, and a glass of Champagne to start is always a good idea. Tell us the register and we bring the rest.
It starts at the market.
The best classes begin before the stove. Walk the market with the chef, learn to pick the fish, the first fruit of the season, the cheese at its peak, then carry it home and cook exactly what you chose.
Short on time? Skip the walk. Everything is sourced and waiting, and the class begins the moment you tie the apron.
One of the best team days there is.
A cooking class is a rare kind of team day: everyone in an apron, no hierarchy, a shared table at the end. We run classes for companies, birthdays and reunions, from a handful of people to a full brigade.
For a celebration, we can add a maître d’hôtel and service afterwards, so the cooks become guests and someone else clears the plates.
A class for every table.
Every class is private, built around who is cooking and what you want to learn.
For two
Couples & duos
A date at the stove: one menu, two pairs of hands, a dinner you finish side by side. Among the finest evenings in Paris.
For the family
Families & children
A chef who is brilliant with children: pizza and pasta, a cake to decorate, a whole meal the little ones are proud to have made.
For friends
Friends & groups
Six, eight, ten around the island, glasses in hand, the chef orchestrating. A dinner party where the making is the party.
For teams
Companies & offsites
Team-building that people actually enjoy, then sit down to eat together. Scales from a small team to a full brigade.
Addresses that never reach a booking site.
Kitchen too small, or you would rather host somewhere special? We open beautiful Paris addresses with kitchens built for cooking, private hôtels particuliers, lofts and ateliers, so the class has room to breathe.
We source the place, you bring the appetite.

Tell us who is cooking, when, and what you would love to learn. We match the chef and compose the rest, the theme, the produce, and if you like, the address.
