Building new skills with chef Christian Really enjoyed our macaron making class with Chef Christian. We ended up with a private class and lots of macarons to take home. My daughter (12yo) and I really enjoyed learning all the tips and techniques - left feeling inspired to make at home too. Really wonderful flavors in the fillings and beautiful decorations with glitter and edible markers. Really good pace of the class kept us moving and we were able to be really hands on which was great for us! The market class looks really attractive to try next time!

Ah we had the best time! We booked a private cooking class. You can have up to 8 people but we only had 4. The total price is the same though. They have some lockers up front for your belongings and a coat rack. Our guests were late. The ladies let us in to a waiting area where they had snacks and coffee/tea. We hung out on the couches. The chef was so kind as to wait to start the class for us and she even stayed late so we had our full class time. Wow. We made croissants and other pastries. The recipes were given to us via QR code at the end of the class. We were able to ask questions throughout. Chef was making jokes and making sure everyone was pulling their weight. In the end, she created a gorgeous table scape of our items and even organized them as to who made what. We worked in teams and I think the lady team items looked better than the guy team items. Haha. Everything tasted good though! Chef opened a bottle of champagne for us at the end and we drank and ate. We took everything home in large paper bags to savor again. The class was so fun and very safe. It was worth every penny. In fact just being on their email list is worth it. They have wonderful emails with recipes!

On our last full day in Paris, my husband, in-laws and I took a French Desserts cooking class with our wonderful Chef and teacher Guillaume. This was truly a core memory and my favorite part of our trip! We were able to create so many delicious desserts in only a few short hours. Guillaume was patient, friendly and funny! None of us are particularly skilled in the kitchen, but he took his time with us, showing us best practices and a variety of cooking techniques. I would recommend this class to anyone! The kitchen is wonderful - very aesthetically pleasing, well equipped and perfect for small groups. Iโ€™m excited to take all that we learned into our own kitchen! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

5 stars for a very unique cooking class! Fabrice was EXCELLENT. We had a private class for a group of 11 (6 adults and 5 children all 10 and under) and Fabrice was so thoughtful and attentive with the children, ensuring all the kids had a โ€œjobโ€. He was an amazing instructor showing us new techniques and tips - this was the best cooking class weโ€™ve ever experienced!

Incredible Croissant Class! Absolutely fantastic experience in the croissant class with Chef Christian! Truly remarkable, Chef Christian is a a world-class culinary professional whose expertise is matched only by his capacity to engage and entertain. From our 11 year old son 13 year old daughter to my wife and me, we learned, laughed and made the best croissants any of us had ever tasted. I couldnโ€™t recommend more highly. 12/10, no notes.

We celebrated my momโ€™s 60th birthday in Paris with a private cooking class from Chef Sarah at Cooking with Class, and it was absolutely delightful! We had a group of ten, and Chef Sarah was so fun, patient, and informative. Definitely ask for her to teach your class she was amazing! We learned to make macarons, croissants, and other delicious pastries, and it truly made my momโ€™s birthday trip extra special. Weโ€™d highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Paris!

A fabulous family memory My family and I took the 2 hr macaron making class with Chef Christian and it was a true highlight of our trip. The class was fun, insightful and a really great family memory. Chef Christian was phenomenal. Our group ranged from 3 yrs old to 73 yrs old, and he expertly guided us through the process. Cookโ€™n with class the school, Chef Christian and the whole experience was A+, would definitely recommend. We're already planning on taking another class on our next trip here.
