Testimonials from our French cooking class students!

Rachel, Chicago
“Ooh lala, we had a blast! My husband and I were gifted a private cooking lesson with Francois and it was just what we needed. We were able to select our choice of recipe (we chose beef bourguignon), customize (I hate mushrooms), and get clarification on our ingredients and pans needed ahead of time, along with prep work. Francois was helpful and patient to two french cooking newbies. He made us feel comfortable as we asked questions throughout, had awesome tips, fun stories, and overall kept us smiling as we went along. The dish was INCREDIBLE and fed us for a few days. The only thing better than the food was the experience itself. My husband learned he can indeed cut onions, and I left feeling like I could conquer much more complex recipes then I would have before. Thanks Francois, it was a great activity while the kiddos slept, and we truly enjoyed learning from you. “
Susan, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania
“Thank you for the class and the great tips to make cheese soufflés. Mine are perfect and they taste so delicious. Your egg folding technique and broiling first made the difference. I took a cheese soufflé class taught by Martha Stewart a few weeks ago. She taught really quickly and completely ignored the students in the class. She was more interested in explaining to us the products she was selling. My soufflé fell. I was so mad after the class I emailed a complaint to customer service and the next day got a refund. Then I signed up for your class. Thank you for your patience. You are an excellent teacher. Can’t wait for the next class“
Laura, Burlington, Vermont

“ Nous avons adoré la soupe de Kale et de Chorizo. Deux bols chacun! Et merci pour la leçon et votre patience. Vous êtes très gentil et j’aime beaucoup parler français avec vous. Mon mari vient de manger son troisième bol! Merci encore. J’ai adoré cette leçon et la soupe.“
Jana, Brooklyn, New York
“After the cooking class, I went to visit a friend and actually took half of the madeleines cookies with me. They finished them all at my friend’s house and when I came home, they were also finished here! So they really loved it. Now I know I’ll be making more of them! Thank you very much“
Sharon, Los Angeles, California
“It is amazing! There is so much flavor in each bite. I’m very proud of it. I ate it without anything else. It was a nice healthy, flavorful dinner. Thanks Chez Francois!“
Pamela, Tarrytown, New York

“It was a very fun evening, and I enjoyed my salad and the fish pie very much!  Thanks for forwarding the recipe. It is amazing how much fun a group class can be, even when everyone is apart!  You are a great host and teacher.“
Peter & Tim, Saint Paul, Minnesota
“We just took our 7th Zoom cooking class from Chez Francois. We’ve really enjoyed Chez Francois’s authentic recipes. He’s very talented and patient and he’s from Lyon, France, the gastronomic heart of France. We’ve had some excellent French dinners (and chocolate mousse, too) and learned so many food-prep techniques from Chez Francois.“
Alicia, Bronx, New York City
“Thank you so much for that wonderful class. I enjoyed it immensely and can’t wait to take more classes. This was my first tart ever; I had enough leftover dough and filling to make a few mini chocolate tarts. They all came out so great and tasted delicious! Thank you again.“
Dorée, Oklahoma
“I want to recommend the Fresh Salmon & Asparagus Lasagna class to anyone who is considering it…. You won’t be disappointed!
I took this class the last time it was offered…. more out of curiosity than anything else. I love Salmon, Asparagus, and Lasagna (eaten separately) and honestly wasn’t sure how the flavors would be combined, in a Lasagna no less. So, I followed along in class; and while everything smelled good, I was still skeptical.
So, into the oven and then out again when the timer went off. It looked and smelled good, so I cut into it and plated my dish. At first bite I knew it was a winner and I’d be making it again in the future! The flavors of everything were so well balanced and not one thing overpowered the other! It is truly a wonderful dish!“
Susan, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania
“The Spinach & White Sweet Potato Phyllo Pie looks like it turned out as it should. It was delicious. Can’t wait to try it cold. I have never had anything like this. Very nice combination of flavors. I can’t wait to experiment with other vegetables as you suggested. Thank you for the class.“
Elle, Queens, New York City
“I have always been afraid of cooking, but Francois’ clear step-by-step instructions made cooking so fun and easy! I couldn’t believe the mouth-watering dishes we created together!”
