What you'll do
We will prepare a French inspired three course meal in my tiny but adequate kitchen, then share it around the generous dining table. Please book your seat for dinner separately.
French Champagne and matching wines will be served.
We will go into an extensive conversation about wine & food matching.
Each participant will have a chance to join in the preparation of the meal, whether cutting vegetables, stirring the pot or plating the final dish.
We will prepare some of the staples of French cuisine like Pot-au-Feu, Ratatouille, Cassoulet, Choucroute de la Mer and crème caramel, crème brûlée, taste satin, etc... for dessert.
We will also exchange tips about where to source the best and freshest ingredients for best value. as we regularly cover markets and producers on our blog.
We will also go over French table manners and etiquette to set the table.
Ideally 4 to 6 people will attend, the smaller the group, the best with a minimum of 4 to generate enough interaction and make it financially viable for the host.
Other things to note
If you have food allergies or a special diet, please mention it at time of booking and we will try to accomodate your special request.

Jean-Marie was lucky to have a mum - still alive at 98 - and two grandmothers who were exceptional cooks and a great-grandmother famous for her conserves.
Jean-Marie's abilities to cook for his family and friends, from a simple omelette to a more elaborate dish out of one of his cookbooks, or recreating a recipe from of of his favourite restaurant are well documented on Instagram.
Jean-Marie has been asked over and over to open a restaurant, but this is always been viewed as too big a task and commitment, So by popular demand, Jean-Marie has started cooking classes for groups of six people.

Where you'll be
Well, I believe you won't find another French Cooking Class in Sydney actually run by a Frenchman, at an affordable cost...
We have had fantastic feedback from the two classes we ran at The Essential Ingredient in Rozelle and I have been the only French person running a French cuisine class at their venue.
I prefer to run them now at home as I can run more of them and at a time/date of my choosing.

Being in Jean-Marie’s home was comfortable and laid back. He was well prepared with equipment set out for all of us on a large table. We were able to chat about the menu, food preparation and ingredients in a relaxed atmosphere. All of us had time to talk and ask questions
