The Philosophy

French cuisine is not a recipe.

It is a way of living.

In Susan's Paris apartment, classes are intimate. Every guest puts on their apron, picks up their whisk or their knife, and has Susan's full attention.

Time will fly as you prepare a meal that you will enjoy at the table. You will leave class knowing how to taste, feel, sense; you will be a confident cook.

Susan has been teaching this since 1999. Her knowledge, skill, and laughter leaves people with an unforgettable memory, and the ability to recreate the experience.

Susan's classes are more intimate than the average cooking experience in Paris — this means each participant gets all the attention they need.

— Voices from the table

What guests are saying.

"As a lover of French cuisine, this experience surpassed all expectations. You step inside Susan's beautiful charming Parisian apartment with warm sunlight pouring in and find yourself at your station, with your beautiful white apron, and the magic begins. Nothing is quite like this. It is the perfect day!"

"Three days in a private Paris Atelier — chopping, braising, sautéing, whipping, emulsifying, folding, mixing, rolling, garnishing, questioning, laughing, smelling, and tasting… Heaven! Susan expertly guides you through all of her recipe steps with 'I Made This' results. Sitting around her cosy and beautiful table, you toast to new ingredients, new techniques, new tastes… but most importantly — a toast to new friends!"
