Cooking Lessons To learn
Interested to learn traditional French cuisine ?
I offer cooking classes in small groups (4 people maximum) to transmit my knowledge in the best condition.
As I am perfectly bilingual, I can address an English-speaking public.
I can also come to your home.
Je peux animer un atelier cuisine pour les enfants.
Each cooking class includes the loan of an apron and cooking utensils, the learning of the menus, the recipe cards and finally the tasting.

Cooking workshop For younger children
Over 4 days, in the mornings and afternoons, I worked with young people aged between 12 and 14, making mini-burgers: the pupils were attentive and happy to devour their creations!
Each cooking class includes the loan of an apron and cooking utensils, the learning of the menus, the recipe cards and finally the tasting.
