Private Market Tour and Cooking Class in Annecy with a Local
Overview
Begin your local French culinary experience with a walk through the town's open farmer's market (if you choose the market tour option) with your host, a passionate foodie. Meet Alexia's favorite vendors, discover regional organic produce and locally crafted cheese and purchase a few ingredients that you will use during your cooking class.
Return to Alexia's home kitchen in her Bohemian chic apartment in a leafy and peaceful residential neighborhood of Annecy with a view of the mountains. During your cooking demonstration, watch as Alexia prepares a modern, globally influenced French meal - dishes such as local ricotta cheese with herbs or a beet spread on organic sourdough, salad (Alexia style) and farm-raised chicken with Thai flavored vegetables and rice - that you will share together at the dining table over wine.

What To Expect
If you choose the market tour, visit the Old Town market on Tue and Fri and the Boulevard Taine market on Sat. Walk through an open farmer’s market with Alexia and meet her favored farmers. Discover organic regional produce and locally crafted cheeses, learn how to choose the freshest produce and purchase a few ingredients for your cooking class. Your market tour will last about one hour before walking back 15 minutes to Alexia’s apartment.
At Alexia's home sip a refreshing drink and join her in her kitchen to learn to cook a modern, globally influenced French meal from recipes that Alexia has created herself. Your cooking demonstration will last about an hour and a half. Please note that this is not a hands-on class, rather a cooking demonstration where you will watch your host prepare three dishes from scratch, as Alexia's kitchen is small. Discover the techniques that Alexia employs while creating your French meal and enjoy learning about modern French cuisine before you sit down to share a meal.
