"Our chef, Luc was very knowledgeable, he had a great personality that made the whole experience even better. We learned a lot about french cuisine."
"We had a marvelous time! Luc was our chef. He is not only extremely knowledgeable about cooking and French techniques but he is also well versed in how French history ties into the ingredients and dishes we cooked. He makes the techniques easy to understand and execute. He is fun, energetic, and patient. The fresh ingredients combined with his expertise, made for a delicious 3-course meal! 10/10 recommend Luc and Le Foodist! Thank you Luc!"
"Very enjoyable. Had a great group to work with. Market visit was educational and fun. Learned a few techniques that will be useful. Very pleasant day"
"Probably the best experience I’ve booked. Paolo was a great guide and chef. I learned so much and it was a great meal. He did a great job of dividing duties so we all participated. I can’t wait to cook at home and apply some of my knowledge."
