A three-hour Saturday class

What a day is like

  1. 10:00

    Aprons on, a place at the bench

    Every place has a board, a bowl, a sharp knife and a scale. You share a hob with one other cook.

  2. 10:15

    Odile shows each step once

    She cooks the dish at the demonstration bench while you watch. Then you cook it too, in pairs.

  3. 11:00

    Cook, taste, adjust

    Ask as many questions as you like. Nobody is rushed, and the timings are on the board.

  4. 12:30

    Sit down and eat it

    What you cooked goes on the table with a glass of something cold.

  5. 13:00

    Leftovers go home with you

    Everyone leaves with a box of what they did not finish, and the recipe card.
