This was simply amazing! When we booked the cooking class with the market visit option, we thought it might be a little long. But Frederic was fantastic – knowledgeable, fun, and funny! The market visit was excellent as we about French culture, how to choose the correct ingredients (what would go well with what), and how to choose the tastiest vegetables. Frederic then instructed us how to prepare each dish from scratch and including how to adjust the sauces to taste. What was truly unique, was that we learned how the ingredients combined with the spices to produce a specific taste. Once done we produced a delightful meal of salmon, potatoes and glazed carrots and cucumbers (you read that right – cucumbers!) that was mouth-watering. One of the best meals we had in Paris. Frederic also sent along the recipes of the meal so we can try to recreate it at home. I can’t imagine a better way to spend some time than learning to cook from scratch with Frederic. If you are thinking about it at all, do it! If you are not thinking about it, do it! It was an unforgettable experience. This was simply amazing
