My best friend is on crutches, and he did absolutely everything he could to help her in an environment that is not easy for people on crutches, as there are narrow stairs you need to climb. We started by learning about cheese aging, which is more interesting than it sounds then we jump right into making our cheese and butter! It's really amazing how quickly you can make it. And it was really amazing how delicious it was... Especially the butter. At the end of the class, Pierre brought out wine and some additional cheeses, and we all had our butter and cheese on baguette with wine. This was such an unexpected highlight during our trip. We only did it because we had "cooking class" on a list of things to do in 2023, and we were all so glad that we did it! Highly recommend!

J'ai enseigné un cours de conversation française pendant deux ans et un cours de cinéma français pendant quatre ans. J'ai adoré mes cours et mes participants.

Many students have told me they really like the French-English conversation classes and I hope to start those soon. WICE seems to work on a semester school basis, so there is a fall schedule beginning in September and another in the beginning of the year. They also has art classes such as drawing, photography, cooking classes, and writing courses. Language classes for French, English, Spanish, and German.

He was intentional in including every guest in conversation, and based the progression of the class on what we wanted to receive from it (i.e. a focus on cheese history, cheese science, how to pair cheese etc.) Pairings were creative and delicious and I'm so appreciative to have found Le Cheese Geek! I'm an ACS Certified Cheese Professional from San Francisco and highly recommend if you're in Paris for an intimate and fun pairing class from a local cheese expert.

Luc was our guide and chef, and did a really great job. We enjoyed shopping for ingredients at the market just a few blocks away from the Le Foodist kitchen. Once back to the kitchen, Luc gave us the run down of what we would be making. Instructions were clear, and we all worked together to put a 3 course lunch together. I even learned a few cool new techniques such as a simple "sous vide" by tightly wrapping chicken in plastic wrap and cooking in hot water. Fun, educational and delicious. They offer a variety of different classes and I would highly recommend when visiting Paris.

Fabrice is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about food. He encouraged us to step outside our comfort zones and try new things, which made the experience even more memorable. A couple of things to know before you go: there is quite a bit of standing throughout the class, and there is a TON of food. Seriously--skip breakfast that morning because you'll be enjoying a generous meal by the end! The only downside was that our class was combined with another family whose dynamic was quite different from ours, but that didn't take away from the quality of the experience itself. Overall, this was a wonderful way to spend a day in Paris. We learned so much, enjoyed incredible food, and created great memories. I would absolutely do it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and authentic Parisian experience.

The class was on Pate A Choux pastry and the group of 6 included a 10 year old girl who was participating in a lot of the "decorating" activities but was not really old enough to handle the cooking process. I felt that in the end the Religieuse came out awful in appearance and not well made to even take a picture. The fondant topping came out of a can and the chef said that the fondant recipe would not be taught because it is usually purchased in a supermarket (!). This was a total waste of 90 Euros, which is a large amount for a class where only two items were taught, and ingredients came out of a can. I have taken several classes in Paris and felt that this was not up to par with others at all.

The class was held in French and i was the only student who did not speak it so they gave me an interpreter who professionally translated everything our teacher was saying. Speaking of the teacher, he was very friendly, engaging and skilled . Their kitchen is huge and really well equipped. Our class i think lasted about three hours and it was pure joy. We made two kinds of very tasty ice-cream. The process was rather complicated but it was very well explained, not rushed and it was just fun. We also made meringue, sauce and some edible decor to go with the ice-cream. Of course at the end of the class we ate our creations. It tasted really good. They gave us the recipe and step-by-step instructions to take home. I would give this place ten stars. I will definitely attend more classes at the Ritz when i visit Paris next time.

Never are you in such a position to cook this way yet I was able to bring lessons home to our own kitchen. The day started with meeting the concierge who guided us 'behind closed doors' and into the depths of the Ritz. Surprisingly, the back of house is quite nice and took me by surprise. We met our two chefs in a good size room adjacent to the main kitchen. The lesson room included a full kitchen, a large prep table, selves full of dry goods and china, and a large dinning table. From the first moment we started preparing courses and learning about every step. Wine and small dishes (we prepared) were served throughout the day. Finally, my group and our two chefs sat down for a lovely meal and interesting conversation (in English). A great experience.
