Paris - Lesson with Chef Eric
After two decades of toiling in hotel management for Sofitel Hotels, Eric decided to move out from behind the desk and study cooking, his true love. Following his professional training he honed his craft in restaurant kitchens, but always planned on opening his own school. He found a lovely space to build his cooking atelier and created a lovely, light environment, complete with modern equipment, where you will have the unique opportunity to partake in classes that exhibit Eric's fast knowledge and love for food in a relaxed and convivial environment.
The class will begin in the morning when you will meet Chef Eric around 9:30 AM for a visit to a local French market, where you will discover seasonal ingredients and fresh produce. Eric believes that learning how to select fresh products is the first step in cooking and eating well! You will be able to meet local merchants and, with the help of Eric, ask any questions.
Head back to the school for a discussion of the day's menu, ingredients and procedures before beginning the preparation of your four-course meal: an appetizer, fish and meat, cheese and dessert. You will be given your apron and the hands-on fun begins! Experience the relaxing and aromatic atmosphere a French kitchen has to offer, ending the afternoon with lively conversation, fabulous food and wonderful wine.
Please note: It is advised that you allow about 45 minutes by metro to reach Eric's atelier from the center (either bank). Also, the market on Saturday is the organic market at rue du Poteau, a short bus ride away (bus tickets not included, but you can pay on board [€1.50]).
Eric also offers a class on desserts! You will concentrate on six different desserts such as creme brulee, eclair, mille feuille aux fraises, ice cream, chocolate tart, madeleines... and of course taste them once you are finished! Or, Eric can introduce you to the wonderful wines and cheeses of France during his wine and cheese tastings where you will enjoy seven cheeses and five wines.
