With over 30 years of cooking experience, Veronique helps visitors to discover their culinary skills through the art of French cooking.

She teaches our clients how to make an array of fine French dishes including: duck, lamb, and crème brûlée to name a few!

You will soon discover Veronique’s energy and how it helps her to connect with many market vendors who will happily offer you tastings and more information on the products they so proudly serve. One of the most special experiences about French cooking is that each region is famous for a certain type of food. The Parisian market allows you to choose from the freshest of products based on the region.
