Registration confirmation

In the centre of Paris, Ecole Ritz Escoffier invites you to join its Chefs’ brigade. Cooking or pastry-making classes, themed or seasonal workshops: whatever program you choose, you'll be guided by a Chef, to learn the skills and techniques of French gastronomy. An unforgettable cooking class in Paris, conducted in French and consecutively translated into English, for all those with a passion for the culinary arts.

Discover our cooking classes in Paris and choose the workshop that's right for you: patisserie, festive cooking, intensive course or gift card, led by the Chefs of the Ecole Ritz Escoffier.

Cooking courses in Paris | Ecole Ritz Escoffier

In small groups, accompanied by a Chef and held around the work surface, you'll learn how to filet, carve vegetables, whip up a chantilly, garnish a dish or add the last touch to a dessert - all in an atmosphere that, while demanding, always remains friendly. Festive cuisine, prestige pastries, food specialties from land and sea or a five-day intensive course: each themed class is designed to meet your individual needs, with a focus on hands-on learning. Whether you want to perfect a single dish or create a complete food menu; explore vegetarian cuisine, revisit a classic dessert or prepare some spectacular holiday treats - these are the ideal conditions for growth. In each session, the Ecole Ritz Escoffier puts the excellence of its Chefs at your disposal, along with the best equipment, fresh seasonal market produce and recipes worthy of the finest tables.

Cooking workshops to suit all tastes

Treating someone to a cooking workshop at the Ecole Ritz Escoffier means much more than the gift itself. It's inviting a loved one to enjoy a unique experience in the heart of the Ritz Paris: donning a professional Chef’s hat for a few hours - or days - in the kitchens of one of France's top gastronomic establishments. Not sure which cooking or pastry-making class is best? That’s where our gift card steps up. Your loved one can then choose which recipes and food techniques they’d like to explore.

The pleasure of giving a cooking class in Paris

Cooking classes at the Ecole Ritz Escoffier are like working in a brigade. Small groups share a workstation under the attentive eye of the Chefs. Mastery of cooking techniques, precision of culinary method, the cadence of service: it's all designed to develop your skills while sharpening both reflexes and curiosity. No dry theory here: you'll learn how to understand a cooking process, get a feel for how firm a market ingredient should be, and reproduce precise techniques. More than just an initiation, these cooking and pastry workshops and classes will see you tracking the footsteps of our experts, acquiring the movements and instincts of great French cuisine to replicate at home. At the end of each session, you’ll enjoy a convivial food tasting session with the Chef, or take your dish or dessert home with you – a chance to extend the experience by sharing your culinary creations with friends and family!

Experience professional cooking

In addition to leisure workshops, the Ecole Ritz Escoffier offers a wide range of professional training programs and classes, designed to support our students' plans to move into the culinary professions or prepare them for the CAP. Founded in 1988 in memory of Auguste Escoffier, the school welcomes students from all over the world to the heart of Paris for Qualiopi-certified training courses in cuisine, pastry making and culinary arts. Each course follows a clear progression of levels: initiation, perfecting, advanced. Students work in small groups under the direct supervision of an experienced Chef. The teaching approach is practice-oriented and tailored to each student's level, with the best individualized support throughout the course. Taught in French and translated into English, the courses convey the high standards, thoroughness and openness that define the ethos of the Ritz Paris.
