Looking for a home-spun hands-on cooking class while you're in Paris? A plant-based cuisine celebrating seasonal, local, organic fruits and vegetables?
If you're 1 or 2 come over to my artist studio/apartment for a bohemian experience. We'll pull out the spatulas, don aprons and spend the morning or afternoon in my cozy apartment—where my cat Ciceron discreetly resides—and my snug, 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 sitdown to cherish it with good wine and conversation.
If you're 3 or more, there are a couple possibilities:
- If you’re staying at Villa Dancourt; a RentMyHomeinParis apartment; or elsewhere... I’ll come over and give you a private cooking class in your kitchen and bring along whatever utensils might be called for.
- With enough advanced notice, I can organize a cooking class in a more ample Parisian kitchen, that of a fellow cooking enthusiast, so as to keep the setting home spun.
Half-day cooking classes:
Private "bohemian" classes for 1 - 2 (Tues-Fri, Sun) in my kitchen, in the company of my cat Cicerone.
— 180 euros for an individual
— 280 euros for 2. (I try not to turn anyone away, so if the price a stretch, ask... We'll work something out.
ALSO... though I'm not offering group classes at the moment, don't hesitate to ask if you might join one of the small classes I hold in my kitchen. The price would be 140 euros.)
Private classes for up to 4 in your own apartment
— 280 euros for 2
— 110 euros for each additional person.
We'll meet at 8:45 am at one of the various open-air market in Paris to buy fresh seasonal, local, organic produce. (On Saturday and
Sunday we'll visit the wonderful Batignolles and Raspail organic open-air market). Then we'll return to the
kitchen, grab our spatulas and cook up a three-course meal, 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 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.
