Bonjour!  Welcome to my cooking school, On Rue Tatin!  
 

Join me for a wonderful experience cooking in my professional kitchen, the heart of my 15th century home.  As we cook together, I'll teach you French technique, which you will use to transform gorgeous local, seasonal and sustainably produced ingredients into glorious dishes. Cooking is the major part of our class, but we will visit farmers’ markets, and meet artisans and producers too. With me, you will have an intimate experience of the France I love. Good times, fabulous meals, fine wines and exquisite cheeses will punctuate your time at On Rue Tatin

At On Rue Tatin, you will absorb the timeless atmosphere of the church across the street, the whisper of French spoken by passers-by, the perfume of herbs, fruits and flowers in the garden, and the aromas of the beautiful dishes you will prepare. You will be in the heart of France, a world of pleasure that combines the ancient and the new, the traditional and the contemporary.

Other Classes 

Classes in Paris and the U.S.:  I teach in a beautiful studio in St. Germain des Près, using seasonal and locally produced ingredients.  My morning classes include a visit to a nearby farmers’ market; evening classes include several tastings and a candlelight supper. Both classes are hands-on, focusing on technique and enjoyment in the kitchen, and at the table!  Please check my schedule for classes in the U.S. 

Cooking with Kids:  I will tailor a class for your child, age 8 or older, that will take their budding passion for food and all that tastes good, and direct into simple, sound kitchen techniques.  The teaching is at their level (I’m a mother, I know what that is!), and as they learn simple techniques and produce a meal to their taste, they will learn to appreciate flavor, texture, and time at the table.  

Country Lunches: Several times a year I offer a Country Lunch that highlights seasonal ingredients.  We begin with an apéritif in the garden or in the kitchen, and then we all sit in the timbered dining room to enjoy our meal, which I have prepared especially for you all!  

Special Classes: At On Rue Tatin we specialize in tailor-made classes for your family or your group.  Please enquire, and we’ll help you plan a wonderful experience. 

Team Building: Your group will work as a team with me in the kitchen, to prepare a gorgeous meal. I will make sure that each person contributes to their full potential, that all is done in the spirit of professionalism, creativity, and enthusiasm so that afterwards, they can truly enjoy the meal they have prepared.  The results for your group?  Increased efficiency, morale, and team spirit in the workplace.
