Highlights
  • 471 Rte de Cagnes - Your private, Mediterranean cooking class with Noel begins with a welcome drink as your host shares stories about living in the French Riviera region. Join Noel in his kitchen to learn to cook a seasonal Southern French/Mediterranean meal. As much as possible, Noel uses fresh, local produce that he procures from the farmer’s markets. You will learn to cook a three-course French meal - a starter, main and dessert. During your hands-on cooking class, learn the tips and techniques involved in making French cuisine. After cooking, sit down at the table to share the fresh, seasonal meal you helped prepare with Noel. Your menu might include dishes such as pissaladière, a caramelized onion tart for a starter followed by a main such as petits farcis, stuffed vegetables with meat, cheese and herbs, a speciality from Nice, enjoyed with local wine. Your meal concludes with a dessert such as Menton lemon meringue, one of the top-rated lemon varieties in the world or tourte aux blettes, an apple and nut pie. Immerse yourself in the culture and cuisine of the French riviera and share food, fun and laughter with this wonderful host!

A favorite from our trip to France! - Noel was very hospitable and welcomed us into his cozy apartment. He was very kind with his instruction. We prepared 6 dishes from scratch, including melon soup, stuffed Brie, Ratatouille, veal, gnocchi and lemon crème for dessert. It was all delicious—the best meal we have eaten during our stay in France! It lasted about 4 hours in total. One of our favorite things on the trip—highly recommend it!

Perfect cooking class outside of Nice - This was an amazing experience! Noel’s home is stunningly beautiful. The views from the terrace are postcard worthy. Noel was an excellent teacher and we had a chance to get our hands on everything. The menu was ready for us on arrival and we got straight to work! He provided coffee and delicious wine as well. I cannot recommend this experience enough. Truly one of a kind and unforgettable!
