« Sweet 'N Stinky November 12, 2005
Many of you have asked me about culinary classes in Paris so I've compiled a list of cooking programs offered around town. Some are professional-level classes lasting a week or several months, while others are for dedicated home cooks where you can prepare a meal with a local cook in their Parisian kitchen. Click on the links to find their scheduled classes and what language they're taught in. You should be able to find something whether you're a dedicated professional or just a visitor seeking tips from a knowledgeable French cuisinière!
 Cooking Classes in Paris
Daniel Rose of Spring restaurant Atelier Gastronomique de Alain Ducasse The cooking school of super-chef Alain Ducasse. Paris' school for professionals who want to cook. Also featured are week-long courses by Pierre Hermé. Special long-term professional program offered for English-speaking students. The Paris Pavilion of Ecole Lenôtre offers one-day classes for home cooks, while professional bakers and pastry chefs come from around the world to attend their school outside of Paris. I've attended several classes at the Ecole Lenôtre and recommend them highly. Leçon Gourmande Gaggenau: 7 rue de Tilsit (17th) Tel: 01 58 05 20 20 No website, but chef demonstrations, with tastings, are given monthly in this designer kitchen.

Posted by mercotte at November 13, 2005 12:39 PM I went to O Chateau on your recommendation last night. It was great. If given the opportunity, I could be a walking testimonial for Mr. Olivier - but that might make me seem just a bit "touched"!
