I recently went to a 3 hour cooking class at L’Atelier Cuisine de Mathilde and I cannot recommend the experience enough. Mathilde herself is really lovely and welcoming, and spoke both French and English with me, because I am not yet fluent in French. At the class, we made prawn raviolis, chicken forestière and lemon meringue tart- which is my favourite dessert! The recipes themselves were not too hard to follow and I am confident that I would be able to recreate them at home. I especially enjoyed making and piping meringue onto the lemon tarts, because I had never made meringue before. Mathilde even gave us a blow torch to slightly brown the meringue. After having made the food, we all ate it together as a group and it was really enjoyable eating and speaking to such a varied group of people. If you are interested in a cooking class in Aix, definitely come here.

We had such a great time with Gilles. He showed us local fruits and vegetables at the local market, took us to amazing bakery and charcuterie shops where we got more supplies for our afternoon of cooking. After a trip to a local winery we went back to his lovely home and spent the day cooking with the ingredients we had just picked out. It was such a wonderful experience, he was very friendly and easy to talk with and learn from. I would do it again, the food was amazing.

One of the most enjoyable evenings we had during a week long trip to Provence was with Chef Clement and the cooking class evening we had for the family. Eight of us were thoroughly over-indulged to fine cooking technique, desert, wine, and a meal not to be forgotten. Chef Clement spent nearly five hours with us, certainly the bulk of it on the front end preparing our Hazelnut chocolate mousse, and then a several course meal of pastry appetizer, ratatouille, and stuffed chicken. His motto being - ‘No problems, only solutions’, he had worked with us to prepare a menu that accommodated dietary restrictions some of us had, with no compromise on quality, skill, or the fine dining experience. IF you have an evening to spare - or more so, make it a point to have an evening with Chef Clement - its not one to be forgotten. His preparation and planning, enjoyable company, complete traveling kitchen, could not have been better. He even left us with full recipes, and instructions and we’ve since made the main course at home with faithful representation of the original. Would definitely do this again!
