Group Lessons
During our group cooking lessons we will be cooking with a small group and making different dishes exemplary of the real, French kitchen. |
The themes are influenced by the seasons and change regularly.
We work with the best cooking equipment such as Mauviel, Le Creuset and Kitchen Aid. Many of our fine ingredients such as vinegars, oils, mustards and even flavored sugars are brought over directly from France.
You may sign up for a lesson on an individual basis or with your own small group (maximum of 4 people). And because enjoyment is only complete with a great wine, each lesson will be ended with a mini-wine tasting. You will get to enjoy one of our favorite French wines!
The lessons take place in my home in Almere.
The menu is inspired by the seasons, but it is also possible to design the menu together.
*Do you have other ideas? Would you like to follow cooking lessons in something other than the French kitchen? Don’t hesitate to contact us!
Costs: 59,50 euros per person, per lesson, including ingredients, recipe handouts and wine tasting. Your participation is definite once we receive payment.
Our lessons take place on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. You may choose from the following times:
14.00 - 16.30hrs
19.00 - 21.30hrs

Food photography
Images shout. They entice. Beautiful food photography not only clarifies a text, but also invites you to try a new recipe. Upon request, we can provide food photography with your texts. The photos are made by professional photographer and filmmaker Hans Westbeek

The Original Amsterdam Culinary Walk!
As someone who is passionate about food, I am very well aware that good products form the basis of a successful meal. That is why I prefer to do my shopping at organic markets and specialty shops. These places are always full of surprises and I usually find things there that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise- examples include new varieties of fruits and vegetables, exotic products, the most delicious loaves of bread and interesting cheeses. During a culinary walk, we will visit some of the best culinary addresses in Amsterdam and ultimately end up at the organic market where you will learn about seasonal products and about their uses. You will also become more comfortable with making good food choices. NOTE: These walks are especially interesting for expats (and tourists) who are new to The Netherlands and want to learn more about what the country has to offer food wise.
Of course we can also help offer you just about any other kind of culinary walk you might desire. Contact us for further information.
Costs: 26,50 euros per person, including handout with seasonal recipes. Trip to and from Amsterdam not included. Walks begin promptly at 10.30 and end at approximately 13.00 hrs.
