Catherine had us start our morning in the most beautiful, fresh, well stocked market I’ve ever been to (and I’ve been to many:) I will never forget the way I felt with her as we made our way thru every section. Catherine was passionate in telling us about how each product was labeled as to know the quality and origin of every item. We then walked to her home thru a quaint neighborhood. She involved us in cooking a delicious traditional French 3 course meal in the comfort of her beautiful home. I will recommend Catherine and this unforgettable experience she provides, to anyone that is traveling to Paris.

What a privilege!!!! My husband and I were welcomed into Catherine’s beautiful apartment in the 16th, as if we were guests in her home. We prepared a traditional French lunch of galettes de courgettes, pan roasted chicken with a cream sauce and mushrooms. The piece de resistance was a fine pastry filled with baked apples and other ingredients. Magnifique! Afterward we dined together in her lovely Belle Epoque salle a manger sipping a lovely white Bordeaux, with birdsong filtering in through the open window to the street. Catherine made recommendations for local restaurants and sites to see. We spoke of our families and traded stories. The only low moment was having to leave! This cooking class was unlike any other because we felt like we were having lunch with Leslie Caron

Catherine was a great host and shared so much about not only French cooking but also French culture. A true highlight of our trip.

SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Met Catherine at market thinking we would buy things for our lunch and discuss a menu WRONG! Menu was never discussed and nothing was purchased. We were one couple and a good thing as more wouldn’t fit in the kitchen.

Appetizer was a thin egg roll like wrap the had two slices of goat cheese and a bit of paprika. She had one mini zucchini (our least favorite squash) & two small tomatoes. Hamburger & chicken was at the ready to be sautéed with a small amount of onion and an egg for the stuffing . NO SEASONING. Bland as hell!

Dessert was a no brainer with gingersnap crust, a few raspberries topped with whipped cream. Packaged Fake vanilla added to the cream. This took less than ten minutes to make and was quite delish.

When it was time to eat Catherine brought out an opened bottle of wine 3/4’s full that was barely mediocre.

There was nothing FRENCH about this poor meal! Having taken several cooking classes in different countries and really enjoyed them. This was expensive and super disappointing.

AND, for a French cook, she had never heard of Julia Child (granted, she was not French but wrote several cookbooks on the subject) nor Jacques Pepin’.

This was a total ripoff!

From the moment we met Katherine at the market the experience exceeded our expectation! Her easy going and informative approach help us to get an appreciation for authentic French lifestyle. Katherine immersed us in the cooking experience teaching us the art of French culinary joy in her lovely flat. The food was fresh and delicious paired with a wonderful Bordeaux. We had an amazing experience!
