Venturing to the open air market with Richard was a visual and real feast - especially the cheese and olive samples. A great way to learn about why French food is so delicious - it's fresh. Cooking with Charlotte was the perfect way to spend day two in Paris. She's a great instructor and fun to visit with. Would do... More

I also agree with the other reviewers. Richard was terrific in showing my Aunt and I the local market. This was one of my top 3 favorite things that I did in Paris- and I was there ten days! The cooking class with Charlotte was lots of fun. She put us both at ease and we really enjoyed ourselves. The... More

Charlotte Puckette was great. Knows her food, knows entertaining and makes this class very personable. You will not regret having done this and doing it with a stranger or two makes it all the more fun. Her kitchen is perfect for sharing her love of food and we could not have been happier with our overall experience. In Paris do... More

I had always dreamed of taking a French cooking class while in Paris and finally was able to do so last month while visiting Paris with my teenage daughter. While we had many other things on our itinerary, and have enjoyed lots of fantastic memories from this trip, truly one of our favorites was the day we spent with Richard... More

What a great day we had in Paris at the Eye Prefer Paris Cooking Class. We met Charlotte our host and chef early in the morning at a local market to explore and select the ingredients for our cooking and dining experience. We, five "students," walked the aisles, talked to vendors, sampled the goods and selected our lunch ingredients. We... More

I visiting Paris with a friend from 3 Jan-8 Jan. We decided to take the Paris cooking class to learn how to make some classic Parisian dishes. I consider myself a "foodie" so this was definitely something I was looking forward to. We met Charlotte and the other "chefs" in a market in the heart of Paris. It was bright... More

Everything about Richard's and Charlotte's cooking class was exactly what I had wanted - a delightful, informal, warm and sociable time with great food from an expert cook. I enjoyed it all, from the relaxed saunter around one of Paris's great open air markets with Richard, to watching and participating as Charlotte prepared an interesting and delicious meal. She is...

I thoroughly enjoyed wandering the market with Richard, learning about cheeses and enjoying his liveliness and wit. The cooking class was informative, fun and easy to understand. Great to be in Charlotte's kitchen and home, experiencing a little slice of real life in Paris while she shared her extensive culinary knowledge. The meal was delicious - my personal favorite was...

Since much of Paris is closed on Sunday, as a solo traveler, I sought a Sunday activity and found this cooking class. Started with the food market in the 15th with Richard to pick up a few of the ingredients for the menu. Market is similar to other Parisian markets, though not as expensive as the more central locations. The... More

I took my 20-something son, a novice cook, to Paris and we organized a custom program of four cooking classes. Our chef, Charlotte Puckette, was not only American, she'd grown up in Charleston, SC, where we live! She gave us clear recipes and instructions, and was extremely flexible and responsive in tailoring the class to the needs of an impecunious... More
