Overview

Discover the essence of French regional cuisine in this immersive cooking class led by Chefs Vivian and Michi. Dive into four timeless recipes that showcase the diversity and depth of France’s culinary heritage, crafted with fresh ingredients and expert techniques you’ll carry into your own kitchen.

Start in Northern France with a rustic ratatouille, a vibrant medley of eggplant, yellow squash, Roma tomatoes, and zucchini, slow-cooked to bring out its rich, layered flavors. Then, head to the coast to master bouillabaisse — a fragrant fish stew simmered with shellfish, aromatic vegetables, and white wine, paired perfectly with a silky, herb-infused rice pilaf. Conclude your journey with the classic crème brûlée, featuring a luxuriously creamy vanilla custard topped by a crisp, caramelized sugar crust that melts in your mouth.

Ideal for both curious home cooks and seasoned food enthusiasts, this class offers an authentic taste of France’s regional specialties, blending tradition with approachable cooking methods.

Bonus: Guests are welcome to bring wine or beer to enjoy alongside the cooking experience.
