What To Expect
The Tuesday and Friday markets are in the old town and the Saturday market is on Boulevard Taine. Walk through this open farmer’s market with Alexia and meet her favored farmers. Discover regional organic produce, locally crafted cheese and purchase a few ingredients that you will use during your cooking class. You will learn how to choose the freshest produce and purchase a few ingredients for your cooking class. Your market tour will last about one hour and before walking back 15 minutes to Alexia’s apartment. Please note that the market tour is only offered on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Return to Alexia's home and after a refreshing drink, learn to cook a modern, globally influenced French meal from recipes that Alexia has created herself. Your cooking demonstration will last about an hour and a half. Please note that this is not a hands-on class, rather a cooking demonstration where you will watch your host prepare three dishes from scratch, as Alexia's kitchen is small. Discover the techniques that Alexia employs while creating your meal and enjoy learning about modern French cuisine before you sit down at the table to share the meal with Alexia.
