Paris Small Group Hands-On Cooking Class with Cordon Bleu Chef

Excellent teacher. Cute neighborhood. Amazing meal. Lovely family.

Chef Catalina was awesome-she is the real thing! I learned how to properly use knifes and the history and usefulness of different foods. The dishes we made were absolutely wonderful and I can’t wait to try them again at home.

I’m not sure where to start. We had the BEST EXPERIENCE EVER. Chef Catalina is a kick ass Chef. Chef Catalina is knowledgeable, passionate and most of all knows her stuff. Chef Catalina from the moment we arrived made my wife and I feel welcomed. Chef Catalina gave us real world practical cooking tips & skills to take back home with us. Chef even helped my wife and I understand how to prepare meals together. AKA co-exist in the kitchen. 😂. Chef Catalina cooks clean, keeps her kitchen and equipment clean throughout the experience. The food we prepared was AMAZING and we also learned the why behind the ingredients that we used. As a lifelong restaurateur I am just totally in awe of our experience. Huge shout out to Brian. YOU ARE THE MAN. Lastly Lola is an awesome well behaved fur baby. In closing I want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts to you Brian and Lola for welcoming Kim and I into your home and helping us to leave better cooks. We consider us family now. Lastly anyone considering a cooking class when visiting Paris look no further than Chef Catalina. Humbly Phillip & Kim San Francisco Ca

Such an enjoyable day. Catalina and her husband Brian welcomed us into their home - even to the extent of sourcing the music and beverages we would enjoy. Catalina taught us good knife skills - which we did NOT have already, and shared all sorts of professional kitchen wisdom. We prepared food I would have thought too tricky, and we enjoyed flavours that one of us would have resisted trying. Highly recommended. Very keen to return for another class next time we see in Paris. Thank you Catalina!

We had a great time at Chef Catalina’s cooking class! Catalina, Brian, and Lola were so hospitable and made the experience fun and enlightening. Chef Catalina knows what she’s talking about!

Chef Catalina's small group cooking class was a true highlight of our trip. It was a special afternoon spent in her cozy kitchen. The class was personal, instructive, engaging and FUN! There were 4 of us in our group and she made the afternoon such a treat. We've even applied our lessons and recipes since we've been home. We were there on my husband's birthday and she made it a memorable day. 10/10 recommend and would definitely go back.

This cooking class with Chef Catalina was truly amazing. I am a vegetarian and Chef Catalina has been able to accomadate my needs while the other women in the class were meat eaters. she accommodated both all of our needs well. I cook a lot at home and have taken many cooking classes throughout my travels. Lately, I have found it difficult to be inspired by cooking classes, but this class really focused of technique rather than the recipes. I have cooked the meal i learned to make for my in-laws and they absolutely loved it. This is a meal i plan on cooking a lot more for my family. I would recommend this class to people who are wanting to cook at home and want to update their skills. It's a class that teaches useful life skills :) From knife holding to learning about ingredient's, this class was great. Thank you Catalina!

What a treat! If your trip allows, Chef Catalina is wonderful! She truly wants you to take some skills home to practice in your own kitchen, all the while teaching you 3 fabulous recipes. It was a memory made with my new daughter in law that I will cherish. Lovely, warm environment.

Chef Catalina and her husband graciously opened their home and kitchen to my cousin and me for a four-hour experience. Everything was in place for us, from the ingredients we would use, to kitchen utensils for each of us, to a lovely mid-prep refreshment. Chef Catalina challenged us to improve our knife skills with humor and a bit of "what are you doing???!!!" We were given tips, recipes, and as the finale, enjoyed a lovely meal and conversation. We left with dessert, wine, and lots of pictures for our memory books. Unlike most tours and experiences, this was one that was very intimate as we had lots of focused time to share experiences from cooking to culture to travel. It was a highlight of our trip and well worth it!

What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon in Paris! Catalina was a delight to learn from. She is both knowledgeable and refreshingly self-assured. Catalina did a great job of not only explaining the how of food preparation but the why of French cooking technique as well. What a special experience to learn from a Chef with this level of skill and experience. Oh, and the food was delicious as well. Highly recommended!
