About the creators of Let’s Eat Paris, your culinary week in Paris:
Culinary holiday creator, Yetunde Oshodi-Fraudeau and chef-owner of Cook’n with Class, chef Eric Fraudeau invite you to come to where it all started – PARIS. Back in 2007, when Chef Eric opened his French cooking school, his dream was to share his passion and love for French cuisine with visiting tourists. He was the first French chef to jump into offering French cooking classes in Paris taught in English.
Following the success of the culinary vacation in southern France – Let’s Eat Uzès, where we invite small groups of participants to take part in a week-long culinary experience in Provence, we’ve created this culinary program in the French gastronomic capital with that made-in-Paris feel.
We wanted to pay tribute to the brasserie and bistro cuisine that has made France famous while also including the modern twists that these timeless classics have enjoyed. Let’s Eat Paris is a week for true foodies, wine lovers, & anyone in love with Paris.
Cooking Tours in Paris to remember
As with all our culinary tours offered through Let’s Eat The World, this week will be fun, informative, and delicious. We’ll work with the best seasonal produce and enjoy guided tours with expert guides. You will work with recipes that you can easily recreate at home.
Exclusive & hands-on
You’ll be part of a small group of participants enjoying the best of Paris at our Montmartre-based French cooking school. Accommodations are not included; however, we are happy to make recommendations. You’ll receive a Paris restaurant guide from Chef Eric to enhance your dining experience outside of our included lunches. Interact with experienced chefs during our hands-on cooking classes and bring your burning culinary questions.
