French Dessert Class in Paris with Cook'n With Class | Food Tour | Workshop

In the vibrant 18th arrondissement of Paris lies Montmartre, a district alive with artistic heritage and bohemian charm. Amid cobblestone streets and colorful cafés, Cook'n With Class offers a hands-on French Desserts Class that pulls you into the world of classic Parisian sweets. For three immersive hours, you’ll step beyond typical sightseeing and dive into creating culinary favorites like crême brûlée and chocolate soufflé, guided by a seasoned professional chef.

Montmartre’s distinctive character—marked by its proximity to the Sacré-Cœur Basilica and historic painter studios—creates a dynamic backdrop for this intimate classroom experience. Housed at 6 Rue Baudelique, this small culinary studio prioritizes quality and authenticity, welcoming groups capped at seven for personalized instruction.

The class focuses on refined yet approachable recipes, using premium ingredients like Valrhona chocolate, known for its rich, smooth cacao profile. You’ll learn technical techniques such as perfectly caramelizing the crême brûlée’s sugar crust and achieving the delicate rise of a soufflé—skills easily transferable to your own kitchen once home.

Unlike conventional tours, this venture engages all senses: the smell of baking, the tactile kneading of dough, and the satisfaction of tasting freshly made desserts right on-site. Plus, takeaway boxes let you share your newfound talents with family and friends, extending the Parisian experience beyond your trip.

Cook'n With Class bridges Paris’s iconic food culture with practical, interactive learning. For visitors wanting a deeper connection to French cuisine beyond dining out, this class transforms from a simple cooking lesson into a memorable cultural encounter. Whether you’re a dessert enthusiast or a curious beginner, this setting in Montmartre offers a cozy yet focused environment to master classic French sweets and bring a taste of Paris back home.
