Spend the morning in a French Market Cooking Class ! Start your culinary experience with our chef touring one of the oldest markets in Paris: The Marché Maubert !
Just minutes on foot from La Cuisine Paris, discover a traditional French market, learn how to pick the best products and compose your luncheon menu with our chef.
After the Market, and within a pleasurable walk through the Île Saint Louis, you will return to La Cuisine Paris where you will have a hands-on cooking class and work with our chef to create a gourmet lunch using your fresh market products!
Unless you see something you really want to buy for yourself, no need to take your wallet out, we will take care of all purchases on the Market (the class price is all inclusive of items purchased on the Market for the group lunch!). Please note that this is the one class where we do not have a set menu or set recipes – every class will be different! We leave it to the group and the chef to be creative and choose their menu based on the most beautiful products they find on the market!
After preparing your meal, dine with us. Wine included

If you are looking for a baking class in Paris, then do we have something for you ! When it comes to dough-making and bread-shaping, the French know best. Join us for a hands-on workshop and learn the secrets to making a French Baguette, in your home oven, as close as possible to those wonderful Parisian ‘Boulangeries'!
During the workshop, you will be working from start to finish to make your own selection of French Breads.
Au menu :
Baguettes Parisiennes
Fougasses (Artisanal breads filled with a variety of ingredients such as cheeses, spices, dried fruits, and nuts)
From Pétrissage à la main (Kneading and working your bread by hand) to Scarification du pain (Scarification of bread), in this workshop, you will learn the terms, techniques and applications to create your very own ‘Boulangerie chez vous’.
Beyond just creating your own breads, you pick up a couple of the insiders tips to the world of the ‘Baguettes’. Is every place you buy a baguette a “boulangerie”? We know the answer, and so will you!
Join us for the morning where you will start from scratch, and end with homemade Baguettes and Artisanal Fougasses fresh and warm from the oven ready to be taken home!

If you long for a cooking experience that is enjoyable, yet with more of a rigorous element of technical application, then join our three hour Poultry (Volaille) Technical Cooking Class. While working through three important technical applications in working with Poultry, you will simultaneously be creating a tasty meal to enjoy!
In this class you will learn and apply the following techniques:
- How to debone your fowl
- How to make chicken stock, and its various applications
- How to make ‘paupiettes’ (stuffed chicken parcels)
Each individual will have their own ‘bird’ to master, and from start to finish will learn and apply the finer techniques to creating a classical French meal. Using the fruits of the labour, the group will construct and enjoy their menu.
Au menu :
- Soupe à l’oignon (using the chicken stock)
- Paupiettes aux herbs et champignons (individual parcels of chicken stuffed with herbs and mushrooms, using the ‘paupiette’ technique)
- Salade folle et Vinaigrette traditionnelle (salad and traditional Vinaigrette)
A Vanilla ice-cream and Salted butter caramel sauce dessert will be prepared for the class with recipes and explanation provided.
After all of your hard work, enjoy your meal here with us - with a glass of wine in hand !
