What to expect
Expect a hands-on session where you'll chop, sauté and plate alongside your host in an authentic old Bordeaux flat. You won't just watch—you'll be doing the cooking, learning why French technique matters even when you're skipping animal products. The three courses build on each other, so skills from the first dish apply to the second. By the end, you'll sit down together and eat your creations. It's conversational and practical rather than performance-based.
Good to know
The apartment is on three floors up, so fitness to climb stairs matters. Plan for a 10-minute walk from transport. Bring your own wine if you'd like to pair it with dinner. Prams welcome if you're bringing infants. Not suitable if stairs or standing for four hours pose difficulty.
