Who is Emmanuelle ?

After having worked for 12 years in an office, including 2 years spent in London, Emmanuelle decided to do something different whilst creating an international atmosphere in her Parisian flat, sharing a passion she holds from a long family tradition. Today, she proposes to give a glimpse of France through a little journey dedicated to French food and homecooking.

What can be expected ?
Depending on your expectations, you may prefer to choose the “Du marché au Partage” (from market to sharing) session which starts with a tour at the local outdoor market or the “Séance à Thème” (themed sessions), which starts directly with the cooking class. Emmanuelle will do her best to accompany you and answer all your questions. Of course, you’ll enjoy the dishes during a meal at the end of the session.
Sessions can be given in French if you want to practice, or in English if you prefer.There never will be more than 4 participants .
What is unique about Saveurs et Partage is that Emanuelle welcomes you simply in her home and offers a moment of exchange and enjoyment to help you discover a little bit of Paris seen “from the inside”.

9h30 – 10h30 – shopping at a local outdoor market : We meet at Popincourt market where you will be able to learn more about some specific products and the best way to choose and buy them. Emmanuelle will accompany you during this tour and answer your questions, then you will buy some ingredients for the menu of the day. Meat, fish, fruit and vegetables will be carefully chosen, whilst bearing in mind the rhythm of the seasons and preferring local produce as much as possible. You will certainly be seduced by the market atmosphere and this convivial way of shopping !

10h30 – 12h30 – Cooking the meal : Then, you will go towards the Place de la République where Emmanuelle welcomes you in her flat, lending you an apron and helping you create the menu of the day. This is a “hands-on experience” and everybody participates. You will be given a copy of the recipes at the beginning of the class and these will enable you to cook the meal again at home.

12h30 – 14h00 – Sharing the meal : Last but not least ! You will enjoy the meal we will have prepared all together. This will then be an occasion to carry on talking, exchanging all kinds of point of views. Again, according to your wishes, the discussions can be held in English or in French (or in both languages). Finally, and of course, the meal will be accompanied with a specially chosen French wine !

September and October Update
