What to expect
Arrive at Françoise's apartment and settle in with cheese and snacks while you discuss the day's menu. You'll stand in her kitchen learning techniques hands-on—chopping, sautéing, saucing—as she guides you through a proper French dish from start to finish. The pace is unhurried; this isn't a race. Once cooking wraps, you'll move to her dining table and eat together, tasting the results of your work. A traditional dessert arrives next, paired with champagne. The whole experience flows like a long lunch with a French friend who happens to teach you something useful.
Good to know
Specify your dish preferences in the booking notes; otherwise Françoise picks for you. The apartment is near public transport. Prams are welcome for infants, though lap-sitting is required on transport. Three hours covers cooking and eating without rushing.
