Private French Cooking Class at a Local Home in Nice (Morning)

Marie is a true inspiration - we were made to feel at home the moment we arrived. The entire experience was one that exuded passion and enthusiasm for local ingredients, techniques, recipes and all within an open and relaxed “as you want” atmosphere. We made Onion Tart to die for, Tart Tartine with gorgeous deep yellow Golden Delicious apples and homemade salted caramel sauce amongst other things. Marie is a very attentive lady with an eye for detail who is keen to assist anybody from complete beginner to expert alike. We went on this experience mainly for my daughter who’s a keen cook, never expecting to enjoy it as much as we did. Cooking with Marie is a great way to spend an afternoon in Nice. As a family we all agree this is the best activity we’ve enjoyed together for a while. If we could rate time with Marie as an eleven out of ten we would gladly do so - Fantastic!

We had an enjoyable afternoon at a well organized cooking experience. We prepared a wonderful meal together and learned several new tips and tricks, as well as some wonderful authentic Nicoise recipes. Highly recommend.

We spent a wonderful afternoon with Marie learning how to cook several classic provencal dishes and then was able to enjoy our meal with a bottle of rose wine. I was joined by my 2 adult daughters and their boyfriends. I am an experienced cook and both my daughters are very good in the kitchen as well - one is a serious baker. Their boyfriends were willing neophytes. Marie did a wonderful job of accommodating all of our different skill levels, and everyone - including myself - learned a great deal. I picked up several key pointers that felt like traditional provencal cooking techniques that you don't see in standard recipes. I loved that Marie selected dishes for us to make that were not only classic Nice cuisine but also seasonal. We learned how to cook squash blossoms that I had just seen in the farmer's market that morning. And we made THE best tart tatin that I have ever eaten. Loved the whole experience! I highly recommend the cooking class!
