Cooking class in Paris

Looking for a one-day "basics" cooking class in Paris in late September for a group of 10.

I recently took a class at the Cordon Bleu. Very informative, and it only lasted about three hours, so you still have the rest of the day for sight-seeing.<BR><BR>

How much was the cooking class? How long before the class can you make a reservation or can you just show up at their school in the 15th arondissement?

I took cooking lessons from l'Escoffier, which were fantastic, and also with two different women who give lessons in their Paris apartments. They'll tailor the class for you, especially with a group of 10:<BR><BR>http://www.fmeunier.com/<BR>http://www.theinternationalkitchen.com/lesson.htm#paris

http://www.paris-gourmet.com/who.html<BR>In April, my daughter and I participated in the "French for a Day" program explained at the above site. It is run by Sue Young and Irene Adamian for groups of 8-16. It consists of part guided shopping, a walk through a food market (in our case the Rue Moffetard), a stop at a cafe, and a meal cooked by one of their chefs. Sue Young is usually the chef, but was on holiday. "Laurance" was her delightful substitute; we did some chopping and mixing with her, but none of the actual cooking. We definitely did the eating! Our guide, Christine, was the epitome of French charm. This is not a "cooking school" per se, but we had a wonderful day (runs from about 10 a.m. thru 4). Our cost was $160 each. Besides the great shops, esp. the basement visit to the Poilane bakery and the Bon Marche food store, I enjoyed the interaction with the host and the chef. Christine was fluent in English, and we managed to have some lively conversations about Paris, politics (it was election time) and even her visits to the U.S. that would not have happened otherwise. It was a great time - although I stress not a really intense cooking experience. But it may meet the needs of all in your group. If you need any more info, e:mail me.

Also took the Cordon Bleu 1/2 day Patisserie class. The Chef only spoke French, but had a young American Sous Chef who translated. The Chef was hysterically funny even without the translation. Even so, I walked away with some great notes and new knowledge.<BR><BR>You should call or contact the school for a party of 10 because when I was there (last year) it was packed with regular Cordon Bleu students and there was only 4 of us "outsiders" way in the back (but it has overhead mirrors to see the processes). It was alot of fun!

Anyone know any ex-pats living in Paris at the moment? There are frequent cookery courses laid on by/for the ex-pat community. Specials could easily be laid on.
