Tired of spending an arm and a leg on Uber Eats, all because you decided to play with your Nintendo DS when your mother wanted to show you how to chop carrots? Yes, I'm drawing inspiration from my own experience. Nevertheless, I would have liked to learn how to cook before living on my own. Fortunately, I can still do it today, and so can you, thanks to the many cooking classes offered in Paris.

Taking cooking classes in Paris

Why don't we ever take cooking classes in Paris? Sure, we live in a wonderful time where we can taste dishes from all over the world, sometimes even from our own bed for the laziest ones. But, what if, for once, we learned how to cook those food combinations that we love so much? Whether it's to handle knives like a pro, impress your loved ones or simply diversify your skills, here's a list (not exhaustive) of cooking classes you can take in the capital. 


Japanese cuisine: Manekineko in Montmartre 

Perched on the hill, the charming Tomoko's boutique/workshop stands out. Here, you can learn the secrets of Japanese cuisine. You can't resist wanting to step in and discover it by seeing its colorful display window. The atmosphere is welcoming and the classes are always full of fun. Tomoko makes sure to create a joyful environment where everyone can enjoy themselves and learn at the same time. So, why not give it a try and learn how to make your favorite Japanese dishes?

Inside, a boutique of Japanese craft items but also cooking classes, origami and calligraphy. It doesn't stop there. For other workshops dedicated to Japanese cuisine, including sushi making, click here.

Italian cuisine: Italian Cuisine Paris

You love Italian cuisine.And its entirety, yes, the whole thing, maybe more than you have ever loved anyone. Neapolitan pasta and pizzas, Venetian cuisine or mastering risotto, everything, you want it all. Well, so be it: Sara Rania has founded her Italian cooking workshops in Paris to spread the love for Southern cuisine. She works with Elisabetta Castiglione (in charge of children's workshops, just so you know) and Nunzio Rispolano, "the Neapolitan". You're in good hands... for a cooking class that you won't soon forget.

Molecular Cuisine: The Culinary Lab

The first time I discovered molecular cuisine was on Un dîner presque parfait and it didn't really appeal to me. Since the questionable plans and hesitant aspiring scientists, the phenomenon has gained momentum: recipe books have multiplied and some chef-chemists have made it their flagship. If you also want to handle the distillation apparatus with one hand and the whisk with the other, turn to the Culinary Lab, which offers three different courses on the theme of molecular cuisine: "gourmand", "fresh and gourmet" and "bites with liquid nitrogen".

Chocolate Cooking: Ritz Escoffier School 

Attention, prestige : while chocolate can be found in every pantry in France, mastering its creation seems to be a slowly circulating secret. If you want to give it a try, it will come at a price (€90 for a two-hour session). Their motto? "Mastering the art of chocolate. Cakes, pastries, chocolate candies: the right techniques and chef's tips to succeed every time." So let's bet on that, after all, it's the Ritz school...

Ritz Escoffier School
15, Place Vendôme - 1st
Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Saturday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Thai Cuisine: Maison de la Thaïlande 

At the Maison de la Thaïlande, the teachers are Thai chefs who perfectly master the different aspects of this cuisine, savory, sweet, gentle, and spicy. Throughout this cooking class, you will discover and master the preparation of three typical dishes from Siamese gastronomy, in an authentic way. The price is €90 per workshop, but if you come as a couple, the rate drops to €80 per person.
