The small group size of 8 ensures personalized guidance from the chef as you acquire new culinary skills.\n\nInitially, you’ll acquaint yourself with the utensils, ingredients, and the theoretical underpinnings of croissant preparation. The entire process will be hands-on, with high-quality materials sourced from our local suppliers.\n\nThe journey starts with the kneading of the predough. Your indispensable final ingredient is the rolling pin, used to flatten the matured dough and mold your unique pastries! The pastries will then be given time to rise and cook.\n\nThe experience culminates with a sampling of your freshly baked pastries accompanied by an enlightening conversation about your Parisian adventures. We, the chefs, are always eager to share culinary tips, recommendations, and hear your viewpoints, as well as learn from your experiences. Don’t forget to pack up any leftovers!

Fantastic experience - We loved this class - and the croissants and pain au chocolates were delicious! The way they split the dough-making and croissant making to allow us to experience the whole process in a short amount of time was very clever.

Making Crossants in Saint Germain - I really enjoyed coming to this class as I am not into the museums or art. You not only learn how to make them, but you also get to take the crossants with you. It was a great opportunity to meet other people as well as receiving the recipe and learning about the difference between US and UK butters.
