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

This was a lovely experience for my food-loving, proud home cooks family. We met Marie at her lovely apartment in Nice, and proceeded to love on her adorable Pomeranian puppies who greeted us as well. We did not wear masks, but the windows and doors to outside were wide open and the space was clean and set up for us. We made five dishes total - pissaladiere (onion tart), la tarte tatin (apple tart), ratatouille mini calzones (I'm not sure what we called them), nicoise salad, and zucchini flower omelette. Each person was responsible for the majority of the prep for one dish, and Marie shared cooking tips and scientific explanations for some of the instructions we received. She also owns a tourism company and has lots of stories and experiences to share with her guests. Our food was delicious, and the private class aspect was exactly what we needed for our first tour/experience since COVID. I loved having an actual hands on class, even if Marie did some of the prep work for us. I would highly recommend this for small-medium groups who want to cook French dishes at a relaxed pace in a private home.

We had a great time with Marie. We learnt to make a pie, and apple tart as well as the Nicoise Salad. Marie is a very patient cook and also keeps the class very interactive by teaching little less known facts about Nice and french cooking style. she also teaches quick and easy hacks as well as workarounds for cooking.

We had a wonderful time cooking amazing food with Marie. She welcomed us into her lovely home and taught us how to make some delicious dishes. It was the highlight of our trip and we would highly recommend adding this to your itinerary when visiting Nice!
