We all remember the cakes made by our grandmother, the Yule log made to perfection by Mum, the hand-made galettes des Rois or the chocolate cake recipes handed down from generation to generation. While the vast majority of adults love to cook, children also love to get their hands dirty, whether it's helping dad behind the stove, or making a recipe on their own, just like a grown-up.
However, if you're one of those parents who don't particularly enjoy cooking for your little tribe, if you don't have the thumbs for chocolate, or simply if, for lack of time, you prefer to rely on the advice and help of professionals to teach your child the rudiments of cooking and pastry-making, there's a solution for you: family cooking and pastry-making classes in Paris!
From workshops given by top chefs to hands-on courses for the little ones, there are plenty of cooking classes in Paris specially designed for the little ones. These are often categorized by age group, with sessions for teenagers (often without their parents), classes for toddlers or even parent-child duo workshops, to share a moment together.
Step by step, the professionals explain to the youngest what their utensils are used for, how to use them without injuring themselves, or the cooking times to be adapted for each food, always with a pedagogical eye, in complete safety. It's the perfect way to become a real cordon bleu cook, and above all, to spend some quality family time in a fully-equipped workshop, with advice, recommendations and recipes to take home and reproduce.
Christmas cookies and logs at the end of the year, frangipane in January, cookies, brownies, choux, tiramisu and many savoury recipes... Put on your chef's hat and apron, and get ready for a family cooking or pastry-making workshop!
