Intimate and fun!

Chef was fun and made the cooking simple to follow. It was a nice small group of us with lots of personal attention. No one was made to feel they were doing a bad job. The results were tasty!

An incredible baking class!

This class was a dream for anyone who loves cooking or baking. We learned so much about the culture and history of praline and other local dishes in Lyon. This was such a unique way of experiencing local cuisine and I will remember this trip for a lifetime. Thierry was delightful and put so much energy into the class. We had so many goodies to enjoy afterwards and to bring home as souvenirs. I would absolutely recommend this class as a way to experience Lyon hands-on!

A fun and tasty experience with an experienced (and funny) chef. You come away with several treats at the end.

Disappointing experience; great recipes, but a very uncomfortable atmosphere

I love doing a cooking class every time I travel, and chose this one based on its high TripAdvisor reviews. Sadly, it was a major disappointment. The only reason this isn't a 1-star review is because the hands-on pastry making itself was enjoyable. However, the atmosphere in the kitchen was awful. Chef Thierry was standoffish, refused to engage with the team, and didn't actually teach us the techniques behind the baking. What ruined the experience was a sexist comment he made to the class, which created a very tense and uncomfortable environment. For the price and the reputation, you expect a welcoming host—this was not it.

Hands on baking of local favorites. Champagne sipping fun… feeling like a newbie under the direction of Chef Lyon Terry

So fun!

We had a great time baking with Chef Thierry! We made pralines then praline shortbread cookies and tarts. It was fun and informative in Thierry’s very cool space. My husband was skeptical but had a great time.
