Hands-on Eclair and Choux Making with a Pastry Chef
Description
Join us for an interactive cooking lesson where you'll learn how to make three classic French pastries: eclairs (chocolate and vanilla), chouquette, and choux (with cheese and cream). Equipped with an apron and all the necessary utensils, you'll be hands-on in the kitchen, learning step-by-step how to create these quintessential treats. And of course, no French pastry experience would be complete without tea and coffee to enjoy with your freshly baked goods! Throughout the lesson, you'll have complete control over your creations, from the moment you first lay eyes on the recipe to the final result coming out of the oven. I'll be there to guide you every step of the way, providing full explanations and teaching you the techniques you need to guarantee your success. At the end of the lesson, we'll have the chance to taste your delicious creations and chat about your trip to Paris. I'll also be happy to provide you with culinary advice, recommendations, and opinions.

Very disappointing! I will rate it at zero stars if possible. While on holiday and after traveling on a 32 deg C heat in Paris, I was told at the door that the class is non-existent. The provider just told me to contact Viator. A total waste of my time and effort considering the fact that I was on a very short holiday and I was looking forward to doing the Eclair & Choux class.
That it is fun, educational, and you reap the rewards of your work!! Everyone who tried my finished work loved it and it gives me the motivation to do more!!
This is a super fun activity to do with friends or your spouse. We thoroughly enjoyed it. And you get to eat!
An in depth lesson with an experienced instructor covering the basics of choux pastry. Made 3 eclairs and some chouxettes as well. Arguably a bit expensive for the experience but a very enjoyable one nonetheless.
Fun to do with a partner as it’s set up to do together. Very easy and yummy take home! Class went quickly.
We absolutely loved our Éclair and Choux experience. Clara was our teacher and she was amazing...friendly, enthusiastic and had great recommendations of places to go to try the best Parisien treats. Would definitely recommend! We'll be making these again once we're home!
It's more social than I expected. Ingredients are premeasured so you can focus on technique and chat. I'm not sure I'll be an expert but I'm definitely going to try it at home. I was actually quite impressed with the results. Even my imperfect shaky piping produced pretty and delicious eclairs. And I don't actually like most eclairs. The Gamache was dark chocolate instead of sugar icing which helped.
We had a wonderful time. Our instructor were patient and friendly and helped us surprise my daughter for her 16th birthday. Life long memories were made..the pastries were DELICIOUS and we now have the recipe to bring back with us to the US. This is a MUST DO experience for bakers and petite bakers alike.
Small group; very hands on; excellent instructor who communicated well and oversaw everything we did closely to get the proper results; fabulous eclairs at end
Our chef was very good and patient even allowing us to re do some parts. And let me add CHOCOLATE to additional cookies. At the end they give you the recipe to be able to do at home.
