Learn how to make and use and make French pralines
What a fun 3 hours! Chef Lyon is very entertaining and kind. He stepped us through making 3 desserts-pralines, cookies and a tart. He made it easy to follow and fun to participate in.

Oh Wow - you have to do this.
Oh Wow - what a great experience. We made very tasty classic Lyonnaise pralines, some delicious cookies and a regional tart. I learned some little pastry tricks, a new dough that is clever and delicious and had a great time. The chef is high energy and has a good sense of humor. He is also encouraging to everyone and helps those unsure of themselves so they keep up and have a good result. Great time !

This was so much fun! The chef is amazing. We made a delicious cake, cookies and candy. We were with 2 other couples, one from Australia and another from USA. We all had a great time. I highly recommend.

Wow, the best one!
Wow, so nice! A really fun experience with a lot of souvenirs. If you don't want to get loudly instructed by a French chef, why are you here?

Pastry class in Lyon
Casual and fun. We were a small group of 8. We were paired off with a partner, given all the utensils we needed and step by step instructions. In toal we made 3 desserts.

Wow! Super Nice, Great Job!
Lovely small international group of keen amateur cooks. Thierry fun and professional in delivery. (Some of our favourite quotes in the title). Picked up lots of great tips. Learned to make pink praline which we didn’t know existed until we reached Lyon. Fab way to spend a few hours.

Chocolate minus the recipe
The class was detailed and we enjoyed the chocolate and desserts we made. However, the recipes were never sent even after sending a request.
