AMAZING! - From the moment you enter Joelle's magnificent home you are greeted with enthusiasm and an apron! We were ready to prepare an amazing feast. We started preparations! with the potatoes Dauphine and the chocolate dessert! Followed by an outdoor market tour! We were educated on French cheeses, artisaal breads, apples! Made the remaining menu and sat down to eat our culinary menu. Joelle's husband Phillip, came home for lunch and made the exception class memorable with lively conversation! This was the best experience and adventure we had in Lyon. Merci beaucoup Mille mercis!

Rooftop Cooking Class - Chef Joelle lead the class beautifully with excellent recipes. Her direction was light and fun. I met another couple from Australia who were great fun. We enjoyed our lunch on her rooftop terrace overlooking the city of Lyon. A wonderful memory!

Must Do Food Experience In Lyon - What a fabulous day we’ve had with Joelle!! Inviting us into her home, taking us shopping with the locals at the fresh produce market just down the street, expertly guiding us to create a fabulous meal and then sitting down together on the rooftop balcony with amazing views of Lyon to enjoy the beautiful food, it was truly a wonderful experience! Highly recommended.

Fun cooking class! - We enjoyed cooking with Joelle. We made 4 delicious dishes and can't wait to make them again at home. It was also fun to see the local market. Joelle's home is beautiful and the view from her terrace is stunning. We were lucky enough to eat lunch outdoors in December! We enjoyed a delicious lunch with great wine and great conversation. Joelle is very friendly and hospitable. Not only did we learn about cooking french dishes but also got restaurant/food store/sight seeing recommendations
