collage for Flavors of Southern France cooking class on Cozymeal with bouillabaisse, cherry pie and chef picking radishes

What You’ll Do

Embark on a culinary journey through the sun-drenched landscapes of southern France.

The vibrant flavors of southern France are at your fingertips during this hands-on cooking class. Begin by crafting a refreshing shaved radish and arugula salad, tossed in a tapenade vinaigrette that embodies the region's love for bold, briny flavors. Delve into the art of preparing bouillabaisse, a hearty seafood stew simmered in a saffron-infused broth, complemented by a rich, creamy garlic aioli. Conclude your culinary journey with a sweet cherry clafouti, served with a dollop of honey whipped cream.

Tea, coffee and water will be provided. Guests are welcome to bring non-alcoholic beverages.

This class is suitable for ages 14+ with an adult present. Children under 17 must be accompanied by a paying adult. Class price is per person.

The assigned chef was very nice, well organized, a good instructor, and he shared helpful cooking tips. Menu was tasty and should be easy to repeat at home. The other participants were very nice, and we especially enjoyed the mother and adult son who were part of our foursome cooking team.

A bit too fast and not enough time to ask question. I wish the duration is longer.

Experience would have been better if there cooking was not divided up among 4 people. The cooking is dramatically diminished when you have to divide up the cooking among 4 individuals. It not quite fair considering each person paid $100 for the experience. I did not pay to watch other people cook for me.

Class was informative and fun. My only suggestion is that participants should receive the recipes at the end of class.

The resident chef was informative, enthusiastic, friendly, helpful and fun!! My complaints are that it was very expensive and the food was cold when we ate it. The food was fun to make and we learned a lot.

Fun class! Wished we could have brought wine or had some soft music playing in the background but it was a fun class!

The meal was okay. Our burner didn’t work well so our stake didn’t sear. The marketing said there would be coffee, water and tea. There was little cups of water that are given at a doctors office which isn’t appropriate when one pays $100 per person. Also—14 people in such a small setting isn’t ideal either. The room is better for 4 couples so we all have sufficient space. I’m disappointed to say the least

Chef Bill (I think that was his name) was so much fun! We loved his jokes and his personality made the class really easy to follow along

We had a different Chef. Vietnamese guy and he was great! Great things about this experience: 1- Learned new cooking techniques 2- Chef was super attentive and answered all questions asked 3- smooth process Things I would've liked instead: 1- I would've preferred being in a group of two instead of four to get more hands on experience. 2- correct ingredients.

This class was misrepresented as steak and gnocchi when, in reality, they hid the fact that it was risotto and Chicken thigh. On top of that, we had to share a cooking station with another couple and were given a single piece of chicken each to eat. For the price, I would never recommend doing this class. Maybe if they paid you, it would be worth it, but I would tell anyone considering doing this to do it at home with the help of a YouTube video. It will be more romantic, and you'll actually cook what you plan, not some random meal that was hidden in the website.
