One of the highlights of our trip to Lyon and Southern France. Joelle opened her home and her kitchen to us. We had a great time preparing our lunch and shopping in the local outdoor market. We highly recommend this experience!
Such a wonderful few hours spent with Jöelle and Philippe. Choosing the freshest and best of foods from the places only Jöelle knew best then learning how to cook them in the French style was most enjoyable. Jǒelle and Philippe were so friendly and hospitable and very generously opened their home to us. The views from their apartment were spectacular too!
It was such a wonderful experience to have participated in this cooking class by Joëlle (the host) ! She was so friendly and lovely ! Her apartment is nice with very beautiful view over Lyon. We went shopping at the nearby markets and learned much from Joëlle and the vendors. Happy chatting and sharing the meal which we prepared together -- a fantastic lunch with Joëlle and her husband, good food and lots of laughter! A must-do activity for someone who like meeting with locals when travels, tastes a bit of the daily life of the locals, not necessarily just for learning cooking. Thank you Joëlle for providing this exceptional activity to the travellers ! It was so memorable and I definitely recommend it !
A truly amazing experience. Joelle was fantastic and so organised. And the meal was magnifique. Highly recommend you do this if you want a real French experience. Wish I could give it a higher score
A wonderful way to learn about the cuisine, the markets and the people of Lyon with a gracious host. Our small group was expertly and warmly led by Joëlle in the kitchen, at the local outdoor market and at the table to eat the food that we prepared. Try to book this experience at the beginning of your visit to Lyon to take advantage of Joëlle’s outstanding restaurant and site seeing recommendations.
An extremely enjoyable experience. Learning to cook in a french style - lots of butter and creme freche and chocolate - a visit to an incredible food market and other good shops in a beautiful and vibrant neighborhood of Lyon - a pleasant social gathering and delicious lunch with our hosts and other travelers in a spectacular home and outdoor space high above the city.
Joelle has created a wonderful experience. We had such an enjoyable time creating some fun recipes. The market excursion was also good. The end result was an assortment of delicious food created by our small group. We had fun conversation and the view is to die for! Absolutely gorgeous! Would highly recommend!! Thank you Joelle!
This was a fun, warm and wonderful way to spend a day, particularly if one likes cooking. Joelle planned an informative and filled day. After doing some initial food prep (she called it "work"), we went to the daily loca, outdoorl farmers market to pick up produce and cheeses. Then back to get beautiful home to finish preparing and eating the meal. I'm an avid home cook, yet learned new dishes and preparations. We all say down to eat in the outdoor patio area with a view of all Lyon. Her husband Phillipe joined us and our was like enjoying a special meal with family. Unique, delicious, and friendly. Highly recommended.
Joëlle is very warm, gracious, and hospitable, and she made our market visit and cooking lesson fun! She is a patient teacher, and thankfully did not react like certain celebrity chefs when she found a bit of yolk in my egg whites (very bad when making mousse 😀 - ohlalalala). We met her charming husband and enjoyed lunch together on the terrace with beautiful views of Lyon. Joëlle also kindly provided my wife and I additional info on Lyonnaise restaurants and bouchons that only locals know. Highly recommended!
Wonderful Rooftop View of Lyon and an exquisite/informative cooking class. Joelle was our tour guide through the neighborhood market. We returned back to her home where we shared in cooking techniques, French cooking terminology, and friendly banter. Recipes will very depending on requests, allergies, and availability. She catered to our dietary restrictions (pescatarian) and was very thoughtful in guiding our cooking process. It was a splendid time and we look forward to spending time with her in the future. She has a great list of places to visit as tourists, vendor recommendations, and foodie spots. Overall, excellent resource for Lyonnaise cuisine, specialty's, and wine recommendations. Thank you for a truly wonderful experience.
