What To Expect
-Market Tour & Cooking Class
Meet me in the morning at Bordeaux’s oldest and largest market and enjoy a coffee and a croissant together before shopping for our ingredients.
-Cooking Class Only
Meet me in my charming neighborhood on the steps of Bordeaux’s oldest church. We’ll stop at my local bakery for a fresh baguette before heading to my kitchen.
The Experience:
We’ll get to know each other over an apéro (a drink and small bites) as I introduce our seasonal menu.
I’ll guide you through each recipe, and you can participate as much or as little as you like. We’ll usually prepare dessert first, followed by a starter and main course.
Depending on the season, dishes may include Mushroom Bourguignon, Beet Tartare, Tomato Tarte Tatin, Crème Brûlée, or Mousse au Chocolat. Everything is a vegan take on French classics.
After cooking, we’ll share a candlelit dinner filled with conversation and laughter. I’m also happy to share my favorite tips for discovering Bordeaux.
Please note: Due to regulations, alcohol isn’t included, but you’re welcome to bring your own wine or purchase a bottle at a local wine shop along the way to enjoy with the class.
