About This Coastal French Cooking Class

Slip away to the sun-drenched shores of the Côte d’Azur for a romantic evening of hands-on cooking inspired by the flavors of Southern France. This immersive class celebrates the vibrant, market-driven cuisine of the Riviera—bright, briny, elegant, and full of Mediterranean charm. Think bustling open-air markets, seaside cafés, and long, leisurely meals shared with friends under the glow of the setting sun.

We’ll begin with a colorful spread of Provençal small plates designed for sharing and savoring: buttery caramelized onion pissaladière tarts, velvety eggplant caviar, rustic roasted tomatoes with goat cheese, and a show-stopping salade niçoise with seared tuna, olives, green beans, and potatoes. Each dish highlights the fresh, sun-ripened produce and bold flavors that make this region so beloved.

Then, you’ll dive into the evening’s centerpiece—a classic bouillabaisse. This saffron-scented seafood stew is both rustic and refined, brimming with fresh fish, shellfish, and aromatics that fill the kitchen with irresistible fragrance. Finally, we’ll end on a sweet note with the iconic brioche tarte tropézienne, a pillowy pastry filled with silky orange-scented vanilla cream and dusted with sugar.

Perfect for couples, friends, or anyone seeking a delicious escape, this French Riviera–inspired class offers not just a meal, but an experience of elegance, romance, and joie de vivre—no plane ticket required!
