Escapade au Marché is the name of a brilliant cooking class at the Ecole du Ritz in Paris, offering a culinary experience from market to tasting to cooking with a talented chef.

Let yourself be tempted byEscapade au Marché, a culinary adventure offered by the prestigious Ecole du Ritz Paris, located on the kitchen level of the grand Parisian hotel. Available all year round, this unique getaway offers cooking enthusiasts, whether novices or enthusiasts, the chance to learn from real chefs in a friendly atmosphere.

We set off to discover this formula, basket in hand, with Chef Jérôme Coindre, through the Marché Wilson on the Trocadéro side. Fresh, delicious, seasonal produce, sourced in part from local producers. At the market, the chef lets himself be inspired by the moment, according to the good produce on offer and our tastes.

The journey then continues to the Ritz Escoffier school, where we transform these discoveries into a four-course menu, under the watchful eye of the chef, who shares his tips and tricks.

Worth knowing:

The course is taught in French but translated into English.
Recipes are chosen by the Chef at the market according to the seasonal produce available.
Some cooking sessions are done in groups, for a shared and enriching experience.
The meal is a convivial occasion, where two dishes are tasted at lunchtime. Afternoon dishes are available to take away.
At the end of the course, participants leave with a recipe booklet, a personal certificate and aRitz Escoffier apron.

L'Escapade au Marché is more than just a cooking class. It's an 8-hour immersion in the life of a chef, where we learn how to select fresh produce from the market, develop recipes, make them, and finally enjoy our creations in a joyful and relaxed atmosphere.

We learned how to choose our fish, prepare broad beans and peas, turn an artichoke or even make a simple sage butter to accompany our fresh fish.

Then it's straight to the table!

This day rich in culinary discoveries is shared between gourmandise, learning and good humor. Of course, this cooking class comes at a price: expect to pay €450 for 8 hours of culinary pleasure and discovery. For a magical gift, a moment to share with lovers or friends, this Escapade au Marché de l'Ecole du Ritz Escoffier is a superb moment to experience.
