Your Hosts
Chef Eric Fraudeau
Owner/Culinary Expert
I’m Chef Eric Fraudeau and since I’ve started my culinary carrier at the age of 15, food has been my passion. With my wife, Yetunde, I opened a French cooking school in Paris to welcome food & wine enthusiasts in 2007 offering hands-on cooking classes that went beyond just another fun thing to do in Paris. My approach is simple, anyone truly can cook and I’ll be more than happy to share my knowledge with you so you can use your new skills in your everyday meal preparation. It’s not about memorizing recipes. It is about techniques you can apply at home to take your cooking to the next level. Paris was the natural home for a French gastronomical experience with its countless markets & fine restaurants and inspirational chefs. Join us for a Week in Paris to remember.

I wished to create a tour where chefs could bring their love for French cuisine and the vibrant backdrop of the city of light to our kitchens giving you a fresh & delicious look at Paris. My culinary background, love of food, travel, & culture brought me to France to work in hospitality in Paris. I owned and managed a successful vacation rental company for 7 years before teaming up with Eric to run Cook’n With Class.
