About this activity

Learn to master classic French desserts in a private 3-hour class at a Parisian chef's home, where hands-on techniques and seasonal ingredients transform you from spectator to pastry maker. You'll walk away with edible creations, professional recipes, and the skills to recreate authentic French sweets in your own kitchen.

Indulge your sweet tooth with this delectable dessert cooking class led by an experienced French chef. At their home in Paris, you can enjoy a hands-on demonstration focused on revealing the secrets and techniques used to create delicious French desserts. Make your way to your chef's apartment, where you'll don an apron and get to work. Your chef will detail each step in the baking process, and you'll be able to help out and participate as you'd like.

The types of desserts you make depend on seasonal ingredients and your interests, but some examples include:

  • Rich chocolate lava cake 
  • Airy madeleines
  • Passion fruit soufflé 
  • Lemon or apple tarts

At the end, you'll get the chance to enjoy your tasty creations or wrap them up and save them for later; and your chef will also provide you with the recipes of what you prepared, so you can recreate the desserts once back home.

Highlights

  • ✓Hands-on preparation of 2–3 seasonal French desserts (chocolate lava cake, madeleines, soufflés, or tarts)
  • ✓Private instruction from an experienced French chef in an intimate home setting
  • ✓Taste your finished creations on the spot or take them home
  • ✓Receive written recipes for every dessert you prepare
  • ✓Learn pro techniques and insider secrets for foolproof results

Insider tips

  • ★Arrive hungry but not full—you'll want room to taste multiple desserts at the end of class.
  • ★Wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting flour on; the apron helps but pastry work can be messy.
  • ★Ask your chef about dietary preferences or allergies when booking so they can tailor the menu to you.

Good to know

  • •Class is held in the chef's private apartment; exact address provided upon confirmation.
  • •Bring a small container if you want to take leftovers home (though the chef may provide bags).
  • •No prior baking experience required—the class adapts to your skill level.
