How do I register for a class?

You are able to register for a class using the ‘Calendar’ section of the website. This area allows you to register and pay for the class.

I only see classes on line up to a certain date!

We update our calendar on a ‘rolling’ basis. We aim to have the details of the classes on line for the following 1 1/5 months.

How many people are there in each class?

We have maximum of 12 people in each of our kitchens. Depending on the type of class, the group may be a bit smaller.

Can I observe a class?

In our experience, cooking is not a spectator sport – it is best when you get your hands in! Whilst we try to accommodate everyone, we have found that for the comfort, interaction and participation of everyone, it is best that only those who are actively participating in the class join us. If you are a family member waiting for someone, you are welcome in the waiting area.

What if I want to come, but have a dietary constraint?

We do try to stick fairly close to the menus listed on line for the class, however, if you do have a problem with one of the dishes, please let us know in advance and we will try to find a substitute for you!

Do I need to bring anything?

NO! Just bring yourself. We have everything on site you will need for the class, aprons, recipes, pencils (to take notes of course!), and fun.

Will the class be in English?

Yes. All classes found on this portion of the website are in English. We have a team of chefs that we work with, those which give our English speaking classes will be fluent in English!

Is the class hands on?

Yes. We don’t force you of course, but you should expect to get involved in the preparation of the meal. We do not believe cooking is a spectator sport!

Do I get to eat?

Of course! After preparing the meal you sit and dine – wine is included.

How many of my ‘creations’ can I take away?

We do anticipate that all participants should leave with a sample and/or tasting, particularly from the pastry classes. Whilst parting with your treat bag is always the intention, the main focus of the class is having an instructor there to teach the preparation, rather than the number of items the students walk away with. However, when the ‘final product’ is out and you are ready to collect a few, we ask all students to please be considerate of one another, and share the feast!

Do I get the recipes?

All students get the recipes and pencils for notes! Better yet, we ask (in fact we beg!) you to make the recipes at home after the class – send us photos!! We love to see what you are up to in the kitchen! The one exception to this is the Market Class. On the Market we take advantage of purchasing the freshest products available and because of this it is not easy to have predetermined menus and recipes….we do however give you a few basic recipes to take away with you!

Does La Cuisine Paris take photos?

We do from time to time take photos during the classes and do post some of them on our Facebook page and on our website. Our photos are really for the purpose of allowing others to see what we are up to (we do not ‘tag’ photos on Facebook)! If you do not want your photo taken, we will certainly respect that, just tell us.

What if I have a small group and we want to do a private class?

We do also have classes for private groups. Feel free to contact us for further information.

Where is La Cuisine Paris located?

We are in the centre of Paris – just minutes away from Parisis famous landmark : Hotel de Ville! You will find us at 80 Quai de l’Hôtel de Ville, just in front of the Seine !

What is the easiest way to get to La Cuisine Paris?

You many choices…the public train transport closest to us line 1 and line 11, station Hôtel de Ville. We are also just one stop away from the main metro hub, Chatlet.

Does La Cuisine Paris do catering events in peoples’ homes?

We do not cater in home for private events. We do however have a team of chefs that also work with catering and ‘cuisine a domicile’ (cooking for private dinner parties, etc) and we are happy to share references.

Where should I go for the Market Class?

For the Market Class, we meet directly at the Marché Raspail just oustide of Métro Rennes. Take the exit for BLVD RASPAIL and we will meet you there – we will have our ‘La Cuisine Paris’ shopping bags, so you cannot miss us! After doing the tour and purchasing at the market, we return to the school to get to work!

Market Classes

On Thursday’s (and under special request), join us for our French Market cooking class with a tour and discovery of one of the oldest markets in Paris: The Marché Maubert! With our chef, discover a traditional French market, learn how to pick the best products and build the luncheon menu (using the finest and freshest market products) that you will use to create your lunch. After the Market, and within a pleasurable walk through the Île Saint Louis (passing by Paris’s famous ice cream hous, Bertillon!), you will return to La Cuisine Paris where the cooking lesson begins !
