Experience French Cuisine in English: Book Your Cooking Class in France

France is the birthplace of modern gastronomy, where cooking is not just about technique but also about culture, emotion, and connection. At Cook in France, we offer high-quality cooking classes in English, designed especially for English-speaking travellers and small groups who want to explore French cuisine beyond restaurants. Our classes are led by Michelin-starred chefs or creative and talented professionals passionate about sharing their skills and culinary heritage.

Whether you are in Paris, Nice, Avignon, or the Loire Valley, our cooking classes take place in inspiring locations and use fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local markets and producers. You will learn not only how to cook iconic dishes but also the context, stories, and traditions behind them.

Our classes are adapted to small groups to ensure that every participant gets personal attention and a rich, hands-on experience. You don’t need to be a professional cook—just bring your curiosity and appetite. You will chop, cook, taste, and share your meal with others in a friendly and welcoming environment. All instructions are in English, and we adapt to various skill levels and dietary preferences.

We collaborate with renowned chefs, including Michelin-awarded masters and instructors who trained under them. In Paris, for instance, you can cook at the school of Alain Ducasse, one of the world’s most respected culinary figures. Or choose a class with Olivier Berté, a celebrated chef known for his creative interpretations of French cuisine.

Each cooking class is also a cultural discovery. You will often start with a visit to a local market, where the chef explains how to select the best vegetables, meats, cheeses, or seafood. From there, you will return to the kitchen and prepare a complete menu—from starter to dessert—while learning about techniques like reduction sauces, pastry folding, or fish filleting.

For international travellers, especially from English-speaking countries, this is a rare opportunity to engage with French culture in a way that is accessible, interactive, and deeply rewarding. It’s also a great activity for couples, families, friends, and team-building groups who are visiting France and want a meaningful break from sightseeing.

At Cook in France, we aim for maximum satisfaction. Our team takes care of all logistics and provides professional service throughout the booking process. Our chefs are not only excellent instructors, but also passionate hosts who create a warm, inclusive atmosphere for everyone.
