Experience Details
Begin your local French culinary experience with a walk through the town's open farmer's market (if you choose the market tour option) with your host, a passionate foodie. Meet Alexia's favorite vendors, discover regional organic produce and locally crafted cheese and purchase a few ingredients that you will use during your cooking class.
Return to Alexia's home kitchen in her Bohemian chic apartment in a leafy and peaceful residential neighborhood of Annecy with a view of the mountains. During your cooking demonstration, watch as Alexia prepares a modern, globally influenced French meal - dishes such as local ricotta cheese with herbs or a beet spread on organic sourdough, salad (Alexia style) and farm-raised chicken with Thai flavored vegetables and rice - that you will share together at the dining table over wine.

What You Get
Good To Know
- Your host has a pet cat, but if you have allergies, she is happy to arrange for her cat to stay at a friend’s home during your experience. She will also do her best to ensure the apartment is thoroughly cleaned and free of cat hair in advance. However, please note that the space may not be entirely allergen-free.
- We offer food experiences in local homes, not a professional cooking class in a cooking studio. Learn to cook in a home kitchen and share a meal with your local hosts over laughter and conversation.
