Evening Market Visit Cooking Class

We will meet you close to the market at 4:30 pm. We then head to Marché St Germain and share a Parisian markets overview. We talk about the 5 french cheese families along with getting participants to taste our favorite cheese. We also show people how to choose different types of ingredients, from size to origin to freshness. Back from the market around 5:45 pm, we then cook hands-on appetizer, main and dessert - for about 2&1/2 hours. This is obviously based on traditional French cuisine, with a focus on techniques rather than just recipes, so you can re-apply what you learn back home. We share tips and tricks and quite a bit of the science of cooking to explain the why of certain techniques during that part - we find it to be the best way to help people transpose what they learn. Around 8:00 pm, it is time to have dinner with the chef. We serve white and red wines, share stories using the dishes we have prepared to illustrate various aspects of French culture, and participants also have the opportunity to go back to the kitchen to plate the dishes throughout. It will finish probably around 10:00 pm Please makes sure you are comfortable walking and standing for a few hours to join this experience.

Discover the history and lingo of natural wine in Paris

Suddenly, natural wine seems to be everywhere. Paris is the natural wine capital of Europe, with a rich history in the wine industry. You’re invited to join me, the owner of wine cellar/bookstore Rerenga Wines, in a special wine tasting aiming to unite Parisian tradition with radical, inclusive perspectives. • Seated around a table in the center of the shop, surrounded by eye-catching wine labels and book titles, you’ll be greeted with a glass of bubbly while we chat about natural wine. • With our second glass of wine, paired with select cheeses from our friends at Ratafia (a cheesemonger and wine bar in the 12th arrondissement), we’ll dive into its history. Natural wine might feel like the hottest culinary trend, but where did it come from? • Along with some natural wine vocab, we’ll give you the scoop on the contemporary natural wine scene in Paris. You’ll learn about the legendary wine stores and restaurants in Paris that paved the way for natural wine’s rise across the globe. • As we enjoy our third wine, I’ll share tips for talking to a sommelier so you can make the most of the spirit of discovery in this city. By our last glass of wine, we’ll hopefully know each other well enough to talk about love and revolution. We’ll explore what we’re supporting when we drink natural wine and hopefully plant the seeds for friendships that last long beyond these walls.

Macarons at a local's place by the Eiffel Tower

Join me for a macarons making class in my apartment, where I will teach you all the tricks to make one of the greatest French treats : Macarons ! First, you will choose the macaron flavours that we will make during the class. I will then show you the whole process from scratch, for you to be able to reproduce them at home. Feel free to ask questions all along the process, it's a great way to learn ! Once ready, we will pack your macarons into transport boxes for you to take away and enjoy as dessert or side to coffee. Macarons are always best eaten the next day, but it can be hard to wait. By the time you leave this class, you will have all the knowledge needed, and access to the recipe, to reproduce them at home and spoil family and friends with these delicious treats. Please note : Macarons are complex, requiring significant dexterity to make properly, and are therefore not recommended for very young children. If yours are particularly keen on cooking, I'm glad to teach children under 12, however I ask my guests to book a private experience, as younger children require a lot more attention and help during the class. I also adapt the class to their ages / level so as to keep them engaged. I look forward to seeing you soon in Paris ! Oliver
