Master French Soufflé in Paris with Local Chef Françoise

About this tour

Spend three hours in a Parisian home learning to master the cheese soufflé from Françoise, a chef steeped in her family's culinary traditions. You'll work through technique, then sit down to a three-course meal paired with French wine, gaining genuine insight into how locals actually cook and eat. The class works around dietary needs, and a market visit option lets you source ingredients directly from neighbourhood producers beforehand.

Highlights

• Hands-on soufflé technique in a local's kitchen, not a school
• Three-course meal with wine, eaten where you cooked
• Françoise's family cooking lineage and ingredient philosophy
• Optional Batignolles market tour with local producers
• Vegetarian and allergy-friendly adaptations available
• Private group experience, no large class dynamics

What to expect

You'll arrive at Françoise's home and begin with the fundamentals of soufflé-making: how she selects her eggs, prepares her base, and achieves that critical rise. She'll walk you through her family's approach to French ingredients and the logic behind each step. Once you've finished cooking, you'll plate up and eat the results alongside an appetiser and dessert, all washed down with wine. The meal happens at the same table where you learned, making the whole thing feel less like instruction and more like cooking alongside someone who knows her craft.
