Top Annecy Cooking Classes

This was an incredible experience! Alexi was so informative and the dishes prepared were exquisite! We learned a lot and truly enjoyed the evening!

As a family of four, we loved this experience! Alexia was the perfect host and meeting her and getting in touch with her was very easy. We recommend booking the market tour with her, we found her knowledge of local produce and farming interesting and was something we could bring to our next market visit on our own. Her cooking was exceptional! We loved every single dish and will definitely be taking some inspiration back to the UK with us! Alexia made us feel so at home in her space, and gave us a taste of what real French life was like. We can’t recommend this experience enough, if you are foody people that are eager to learn and love good food and company, this is perfect for you! Thank you Alexia!

Pairing ideas with experience is always the best for me and smell and taste are such brilliant senses. The information about the region, its history and how that has affected the region’s wines and cheeses was so interesting. We tasted samples and were gently led with questions through how to taste thoughtfully. Our hosts were so warm and generous, I felt like I was in their kitchen sharing a friendly afternoon. Thank you so much for my favorite experience of our recent trip to France.

Alexia was exceptional! This was a fantastic way to enter into the home of a native French woman who loves to share her passion for cooking healthy the French way., a highlight of our trip!

Very pleasant visits despite this very cold start of spring

We tried 5-6 wines and cheeses. All very good or at least interesting. Happy we tried them all. The information provided was excellent and the presenters were very knowledgeable and pleasant. This would be better with a group than as a private class in our opinion. We would also have liked some bread to help separate the cheese tastings. That’s probably just a personal preference. Felt a little disorganized but that may have been the language barrier.

This was easily one of the most memorable experiences of our trip to Annecy. Cooking Class with a Local felt incredibly authentic and personal from start to finish.Our host, Alexia, was absolutely wonderful. She was warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about connecting with others. From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely at ease, like we were visiting a friend rather than attending a tour.Watching her cook was fascinating, and the meal itself was incredible - fresh, creative, and full of flavor. Sitting down together to enjoy the food and wine while chatting with Alexia was the perfect ending to the experience.More than anything, Alexia herself made this unforgettable. She’s warm, knowledgeable, and such a delight to spend time with. If you’re visiting Annecy and want something intimate, delicious, and genuinely local, this experience is a must.

We are a family of 4 who love to cook, so decided to book with Alexia while in Annecy and had a wonderful time! She is a lovely person to chat with and her cooking is fresh, local, healthy, and incredibly delicious. We all had such a nice time in her beautiful home enjoying great food and wonderful conversation. Highly recommend!

Wonderful evening in chef Alexia’s home talking while she cooked a delicious meal for us. The food was healthy, seasonal, fresh, and absolutely delicious and all from local farms and markets. We had a wonderful time cooking, dining, and talking.

Alexia was welcoming and wonderful! We arrived at her home at 10AM. Everything was cozy and her cooking is amazing. She made several dishes from scratch using recipes of her own imagination and many local ingredients. Each one was delicious! If you are looking for a fun and unique family dining experience, Alexia is the person to see!

I had a lovely day with Alexia. We went to the market and picked up all the produce we needed, then walked to her apartment where she demonstrated her cookery skills. Alexia is very committed to natural foods and uses a lot of seeds, grains, spices and organic ingredients. We had a delicious lunch and a good chat. At the market Alexia introduced me to her preferred suppliers. She also gave me recommendations for restaurants and other shops. I thoroughly enjoyed my day with her.

Alexia crafted us one of the finest meals we had on our trip to France. She is a wonderful host and even better person. Don’t miss out on this experience on your trip to Annecy.

What a relaxing day! Our first stop was a bustling farmers market with peak season fruits, vegetables, fresh fish, and artisan cheeses and breads. After collecting the ingredients, Alexia, our chef/ guide, welcomed us back to her home where she prepared the best meal we've had. Each dish was thoughtful, delicious, and healthy. She shared tips on where to gather spices, how to balance ingredients, and introduced some new ingredients that are now must haves for our kitchen. This is a must-do tour! We are so glad to have met Alexia. She's an excellent chef.

The market is amazing, Alexia has relationships with the best vendors. She uses in season organic ingredients. I picked up a few wonderful tips and recipes.

Such a wonderful experience being welcomed into Alexia's home. Being shown how to prepare fresh, healthy food that is also delicious, was a highlight of our trip. Thank you for providing us with a great memory.

Alexa was an outstanding host! She prepared and cooked a fabulous 3-course meal using fresh ingredients direct from the farmer's market with herbs from her garden. Her commentary combined with the history behind her use of specific ingredients added to the flovor both of the food and the experience. HIghly Recommended!!
