Cook'n With Class

Did you know straight croissants mean 100% butter, and curved ones mean margarine or vegetable oil is in the mix?

It's a distinction bakers have followed for decades. The names even reflect it: 𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘶 𝘣𝘦𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦 for the straight, all-butter version, and 𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘦 for the curved one made with margarine.

In our croissant class, you’ll be laminating with butter, so you can guess which shape you'll find in our kitchen.

𝘛𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘴 is a dish that works best if the tomatoes are good, and early September is your last window before they disappear from the Paris market stalls.

Hollow out ripe tomatoes and stuff them with a simple mix of meat and herbs, bound with rice or breadcrumbs. Bake until the tops are golden and the tomatoes have softened.

You can get Chef Fabrice's step by step recipe to make tomates farcis https://tinyurl.com/Tomates-Farcis-Recipe. Save the recipe before tomato season wraps up!

Picking tomatoes and other seasonal ingredients comes down to knowing what to look for at the market stall, not just in the recipe. In our French Market Tour & Cooking Class. You shop the market with your chef, then bring what you picked back to the kitchen and cook with it. https://tinyurl.com/Market-Tour-Cooking-Class

Skip the icebreakers and hand your team a rolling pin instead! We host team-building classes for groups of up to 30 people in our Montmartre kitchens, hands-on and led by our chefs, in English. Pick a savory or sweet class, then sit down together and enjoy what you made with wine and champagne.

Good food, a little friendly competition over who can fold the tightest croissant, and a story to tell back at the office.

Last month, one of our guests stood in front of the fish stall at rue de Poteau, squinting at a fish like it owed him money.

So his chef taught him the five-second test 🐟 :

Clear eyes, no fishy smell. Scales still tight to the body, with a shine. And the little tag clipped to it is a traceability label that tells you where and when the fish was caught.

Back in our kitchen, he got his hands on the fish the group chose, and with the rest of his classmates he learned exactly what market-to-table looks like.

Because that's the difference here. A restaurant in Paris hands you a menu someone else created, and it arrives at your table like magic. This class hands you a knife. 🔪

Sightseeing wears kids out fast. So make sure your itinerary includes them making something instead of just looking at it.

Our family macaron class in Paris pairs you and your child (ages 6-12) as a baking duo for 2.5 hours, working side by side to make two flavors of macarons from scratch. It's gluten-free, in a group small enough that everyone gets real hands-on time, not just a demo to watch.

If you're in Paris already, we've got one spot left on the calendar this month: Tuesday 25 August, 2:00-4:30 PM.

Book your place before it's gone! https://tinyurl.com/Family-Macarons-August-25

Thank you Madelyn for sharing your experience 😊

It’s true that one class rarely feels like enough when there are two worlds to explore: French cuisine and patisserie.

We’ve made it easier to book multiple classes during your time in Paris with our multi-class packages. You can use them to book three or more classes that suit your interests, make savings and, depending on your choice you will also get a certificate and embroidered apron to show for it!

Searching for the dreamiest spot to watch the solar eclipse in Paris? 😎

The eclipse will start tonight at 7:20 pm, with the peak at 8:17 pm, ending at 9:09 pm.

If you’re in town for this magical event, you’ll want a clear view toward the northwest horizon as the sun sets! Whether you want to pack a picnic or soak in iconic city views, here are a few magnifique spots across the city recommended by the Association Française d'Astronomie:

🌳 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸:

Grab a blanket and head to 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘤 𝘈𝘯𝘥𝘳é-𝘊𝘪𝘵𝘳𝘰ë𝘯 or go near the 𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘵 𝘑𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘶 𝘓𝘶𝘹𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘨

🌉 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀:

The city’s bridges offer fantastic open horizons over the Seine! Try Pont 𝘈𝘭𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘦 𝘐𝘐𝘐 or 𝘗𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘴 for views over the water.

🏛️ 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗳𝘀 & 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:

Want an incredible skyline view? Head up to the 𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘳𝘤 𝘥𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘩𝘦 or check out the 𝘗𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘧𝘵𝘰𝘱 for an incredible elevated vista.

Don’t forget your special solar viewing glasses to keep your eyes safe; you can get them from 𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀, opticians, and even inside certain scientific magazines at the newspaper stands.
