Recent reviews of French Cooking Class

  • 5/5 from Nathan Thomas, attended Dec 2025: Great teacher and really nice food
  • 5/5 from Mahwish Khan, attended Mar 2025: Richard and crew are amazing! This was my first cooking class ever and I loved it.
  • 5/5 from Julian Ting, attended Nov 2024: This was some of the best 3 hours I have spent in London! Diana was amazing, she was full of energy, anecdotes and cooking expertise! And it also felt like she enjoyed what she was doing and was having just as much fun as you will. The cooking class was so informative and funny. We especially enjoyed making the twice-baked soufflé which was something we never thought we could pull off. And Diana's explanation of stews was simple and brilliant. It was a great sense of accomplishment to eat your own food at the end. And the learning method by using observation and fundamentals as opposed to simply imitating a chef made it really rewarding. Will definitely cook these recipes again at home!
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Aug 2024: Great class, learnt loads. Everything easy to understand. Alex was really cool guy. Connie super infornative. Great bread at start. Great for date night and double dates.
  • 4/5 from Gabriella Krite, attended Aug 2023: Fun, relaxed vibe. Staff were friendly and patient. The food we cooked was great and I definitely learned new techniques.
