★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 430 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $252

Spend an evening with a Le Foodist instructor learning French cooking in English. Choose a 4.5-hour class or add a two-hour Latin Quarter market visit. Prepare dishes such as salmon tartare, coq au vin, and poached peach, then enjoy dinner with cheese and half a bottle of wine.

“Paolo was very knowledgeable and made the experience so fun! I feel like we learned about the importance of food in French culture, some history as well as how to prepare it. I'd say our group had a lot of fun working together with each other and making the whole experience better. I loved the being able to eat in between the cooking. The food was simplistic but good and something I can easily recreate at home. This is definitely an experience I'd want to do again and hope that Paolo is my guide! He mentioned that he likes to change the menu often just to make sure he's cooking…”

“Chef Fred was lovely....we went to a wonderful market (an everyday occurrence for him - a novelty for me). When we came back he began to perform his magic in the kitchen. He loves to experiment with different flavours and made me think I could move away from the recipe a little more. I got some great ideas. I would highly recommend.”
