A must when visiting Paris! - Hands down this was the best cooking experience I have ever had when traveling. An afternoon full of laughs, smiles, hard work, culminating with a great meal and fellowship. This is a must for anyone traveling to Paris looking for a fantastic experience with an amazing couple. Catalina in Brian opened their house to my mom and I along with two others and cooked up a delicious meal. Catalina showed us culinary tips, knife skills, and provided the recipes for the meals we made. She and Brian have a love for cooking, hosting, meeting new people and providing a warm experience for those traveling through Paris. She also gave us recommendations for places to eat, visit, and explore while in Paris. I will be recommending this experience to friends (actually did a week later with people I met in Normandy) and family with upcoming travel and will be sure to book another experience on my next trip to Paris. This is a MUST for culinary lovers who want a great experience. I can't wait to make the meal when I return back home.

What a unique experience and highly recommended - This was such a fun thing to do and one of the top highlights of our trip to Paris. Being welcomed into Catalina and Brian's home and learning from her while laughing and telling stories. In the end we shared a wonderful meal at their dining table and brought home some recipes to try. Two of our group were so excited for this and I admittedly was less so but quickly got in the spirit. I could not recommend this activity more highly.

A truly fabulous chef & person - I would highly recommend taking advantage of enrolling in Catalina's personalized cooking classes!! Not only did Catalina welcome us into her lovely French home, she immediately made you feel as though you were dear friends being invited to dinner. Her dinning room table was set beautifully, immediately alerting us, as we passed through to the kitchen, that we were going to sit down for a proper meal & conversation. Without even starting the cooking class we knew we were in for an enjoyable, unique experience. Catalina's expert experience & passion for cooking (Cordon Bleu, Ritz Carlton, etc) was clearly evident in the simplest (how to properly hold & cut with knives) to more intricate details. We learned a great deal through preparing, cooking & eating a complete French meal that can, & will be replicated when we return home from our travels. Our group of 4 had loads of fun with Catalina, laughing frequently as we cooked, & thoroughly enjoyed meeting her family & adorable furry companions as well! Catalina's business model is fantastic & I'll close with: 1) you'd be remiss if you miss out in this fabulous French experience, & 2) as our group of 4 departed Catalina's home, we all felt like we meet an genuine & extremely talented friend!

Schedule This For Yourself Now Before It Becomes Impossible To Book - Wow! This was a fantastic experience. Catalina welcomed us to her home and family for interactive cooking lessons. We learned proper knife skills and how to pull together ratatouille, chicken roulade, chocolate cake, and more. I was looking forward to this class and it surpassed my expectations.

Haute cuisine class - First time I took a French cooking class and never imagined it was so great. Catalina is an excellent Chef who treated us and her husband had great patience and taught us many cooking techniques that I really didn't know. If I go back to Paris I have no doubt about taking another class. Thank you very much Catalina and Brian for their ospitality made us feel at home.

Excellent class with a great chef! - Catalina was warm and welcoming from the moment I reached out for information on the class. She taught the class in Spanish for us so my mom could understand. We learned so many great skills and had a great time! She and her husband Brian treated us like family, and the food we made was delicious! The experience is a highlight of our Paris trip. I highly recommend booking a class with Catalina!

Highlight of Our Trip to Paris – A Must-Do Experience! - Chef Catalina’s cooking class was the highlight of our trip to Paris and hands down the best cooking class we’ve ever taken. Initially, I was a bit hesitant to book since it was held in her home rather than a restaurant setting like other classes we’ve tried. But I’m so glad we went for it! Chef Catalina and her husband were absolutely amazing. The time spent in their kitchen was filled with fun, laughter (a few choice words, a couple of us getting “fired” for fun), and the best food we had in Paris. What set this experience apart was how Chef Catalina seamlessly taught culinary techniques while we prepared the meal — a truly hands-on, engaging experience. She was incredibly patient and had a great sense of humor, which made learning both easy and enjoyable. We all had a blast! Our favorite part? After cooking, Chef Catalina and her husband joined us at the table for an unforgettable meal and heartfelt conversation. They made us feel completely welcome — like old friends sharing a meal. I highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Paris. It’s an experience you’ll never forget. I truly hope to return someday and will absolutely book another class with Chef Catalina. Oui, Chef!

Sisters in Paris - My sister and I took Catalina’s French cooking class and it was amazing! We learned so many great techniques, learned new recipes, and made new friends with Catalina and Brian! I highly recommend this activity for an afternoon in Paris. We learned how to make ratatouille, chicken cordon Bleu, and the best chocolate cake I’ve ever had! This was such a great personalized experience and different than a group cooking class we’ve experienced before. Catalina and Brian are so welcoming and we would love to go back the next time we visit!
