Looking for a home-spun personalized hands-on cooking class...celebrating seasonal, local, organic fruits
and vegetables while you're in Paris? Come on over to my artist studio/apartment and we'll pull out the spatulas, don
aprons and spend the morning or afternoon in my cozy, well-furnished kitchen (take a look) cooking up a sumptuous
lunch or dinner of creative plant-based recipes—with an Italian flair. We'll spread the table with our creative fare
and sit to cherish it with good wine and conversation.
If you’re renting an apartment, or staying at Villa Dancourt, I’ll come over and teach you in your kitchen, and bring
along whatever utensils might be called for.
Afterwards, if you wish, I'll take you on a food tour of my favorite off-the-beaten-path specialty food shops
around the city.

- Half-day classes:
for 2 at my apartment
up to 8 in an associate's kitchen
up to 4 at Villa Dancourt
and as many as you want at your apartment...
We'll meet at 8:30 am at an open-air market in Paris to buy fresh seasonal, loca, organic produce. (On Saturday
and Sunday we can go to the wonderful Batignolles or Raspail 100 percent organic open-air markets).
We'll return to the kitchen, grab our spatulas and cook up a three-course meal, then sit around the table to chat
and share the delicious dishes we've created, with wine specifically chosen for the meal. We'll finish up at 3 pm.
Each person will leave with an apron and printed-out recipes and other "food for thought."
Of course, I'm always willing to try and accomodate special requests, so don't hesitate....to ask.

- Full-day classes:
This class follows the same schedule as the half-day class and will include an afternoon walking tour.
I'll take you to my favorite off-the-beaten-path bakeries and cheese, wine, chocolate, and olive oil specialty stores.
The walk will end at 6:30 pm.

- 2 1/2 hour cooking class with lunch or dinner:
From 10:30 to 2:30 pm, or 5:30 to 9:30 pm, we will cook up a sumptuous three-course plant-based meal - at my kitchen
or yours - then sit around the table to enjoy it with a good bottle of harmoniously-paired wine.

Please email me for prices and further information.

- I can also schedule wine, cheese, chocolate, olive oil... tastings with 6 weeks advance notice.
