Luke was very helpful, fun, and knowledgeable about all things France and food. I would recommend this experience for something different to do while in Paris.

I highly recommend this cooking class at Le Foodist in Paris. Our chef was Frédéric, who was fun and explained everything in a way that even a not-very-good cook like me could understand. He actually has gotten me excited about cooking again. The meal was the best we had on our two week trip in Europe by far- and we ate at many fine restaurants! We met some really nice folks as well. I can’t wait to make this dishes at home.

Our chef, Frederique, was fun, patient, passionate, intelligent, kind, and articulate. We learned LOADS! The other students were fun, friendly and great coworkers. We made 3 delicious courses from scratch (after buying the ingredients in the open market) and successfully completed a meal with dishes I’d failed at before. GO FOR IT! 🇫🇷❤️🇫🇷

Luke did a very good job with his instructions to the class. He kept everyone on task and doing their part so that in the end we all enjoyed a well planned meal. Fun social experience.

We had a wonderful time with Chef Frederick. We enjoyed walking to the market and looking at all of the organic foods that the local Parisians have the ability to buy. The cheese shop he took us to was incredible. We got all of the ingredients to cook all day and we had a great time. We had a wonderful lunch, and learned some great tips along the way. This is most definitely an activity I would do again. Should we return to Paris.

This was our favorite day of our trip!! Fred was fantastic, so kind and patient and funny, he felt like an old friend. He is a great teacher and I’m already cooking some of the recipes at home! Looking forward to another trip to Paris later this year and will be returning to Le Foodist! Love, Elsie

It was definitely worth going on the market trip. It was interesting to see and learn (and taste) the different cheeses. The market was beautiful and preparing and cooking the meals was wonderful. Our guide and chef, Fred was fun, knowledgable, and helpful. I highly recommend this class!

Luc is an amazing chef and instructor. He was patience and clear in his instructions. He was very engaging and provided a fun and relaxing atmosphere in which to learn about French cooking and cuisine. The trip to the market was quite informative. I enjoyed learning about how Parisians get their fresh food and cheeses and taste a variety of cheeses. The wine wasn’t bad either. When we sat down to enjoy the fruit of our labor, I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food actually was. Great day of food and fellowship. Highly recommend

I enjoyed my croissant class at Le Foodist so much that I signed up immediately to take their lunch cooking class. It did not disappoint either! I had a wonderful time and learned several delicious dishes, and Frédéric was a delight in addition to being a terrific teacher. I also love the work space and very much appreciated the clear and efficient communication from registration to the end of class. Will definitely take more classes here!

This was the best thing I did while in Paris. Going to the market and meeting an award winning fromager, selecting fresh produce and learning so many new techniques. Fredrick was wonderful!

The market trip/lunch class was the highlight of my Paris teip. The instructor, Fred, was so relatable and interested in our success with new cooking methods introduced that day. I have already prepped one of the dishes here in the U.S. This is a great value as well as a great way to spend an afternoon.

I’ve been to many cooking classes and this was in the top two - if not my favorite. Frederick was our chef and he was extremely knowledgeable and had a wonderful sense of humor! The class was 6 hours long and's we didn’t want it to end. We learned some great techniques and laughed the whole time! Highly recommend.

Wow, what a great day of cooking! We learned so much about the culinary history of France by walking to the market, trying local cheeses (which were so delicious), and going through the recipes step by step. Everyone got to participate in the cooking process as we all were given jobs. Even my 16 year old teenage boy enjoyed learning how to make scalloped potatoes. He was so happy to eat what he made. Thank you Luke for providing a memorable day for the grandmothers in our group down to our teenagers!

The class was excellent!! Frederick was a gem! Funny and knowledgeable! The food was great and we learned a lot. Don't miss this class!!!

My 2 adult daughters and I spent 6 hours with Luc, the chef. I love to cook and found that the cooking techniques that were taught and food prep tips were ones that I could and will add to my what I do already and hopefully help me to level up. Great experience.

Six hours long. Loads of food and wine. For folks really into cooking and learning. Market tour is a must. Host was amazing. School was spotless. Worth the money.

What a great introduction to Paris and French cooking! Our chef, Frederick, was the best. He was informative, engaging, funny and made the whole experience not one to be missed. DO NOT SKIP the trip to the market. There was a perfect balance of learning cooking methods without feeling like you were doing all of the work to make the perfect gourmet meal. In addition to learning interesting new tips and methods, there was plenty of time to kick back, enjoy some wine, and engage with Frederick and the others in the group (our group was terrific by the way). And ultimately, the food was awesome and (with the help of the recipes emailed afterwards) we will be making these dishes at home. We could not recommend this activity more.

I brought my junior high school group here from Canada (2 adults + 7 students 13-14 y/o), and the experience was wonderful! Fred and the team were wonderful to deal with for bookings, and the environment there is BEAUTIFUL! Kudos to his wife for all the decorating ;). Our chef Luc took us on a market tour and really spent a lot of time diving into the history of the cheeses in France, including a little sample. He even did a few little detours to show us some awesome history in the area as well as a few of his favourite spots. This was super cool and so informative; we learned a LOT ! When it came to the cooking, he was calm cool and collected; he was helpful and taught them SO many incredible skills while sharing stories of his own food journey and the culinary science side of what we were learning. He was so personable and patient, and really shared his heart and his love of cooking. It was the highlight of our trip, and really gave our crew a moment to sit and dine together while recapping our favourite moments in Paris. Cannot recommend enough! If you're thinking of booking, DO IT.

Our market visit was amazing! Everything was fresh and tasted delicious! The cheese was divine! Frederic really shared so much history and gave us a great understanding of how important cheese was as a protein source and how it was preserved. We cooked a fantastic lunch and learned while eating amazing dishes! Thanks for Le Foodist and Frederic, he made the experience even more amazing!

My adult daughter and I had the best time! Chef Phillipe was informative, fun, patient and a fantastic teacher Not only did we have a great time at the open air market, we had an even better time in the kitchen And… it was one of the best meals we had on our trip to Paris! I feel confident to even try to replicate a few of the dishes we had We both HIGHLY recommend! *****
