Classes are held in a "bohemian" apartment where a truly home-spun experience awaits you. After a stroll to the marketplace during which Terresa will guide and instruct you on picking the freshest seasonal ingredients, you'll head off to her home, shopping bags overflowing, and spend the morning in her well-equipped, if cozy, kitchen stirring up a sumptuous 3-course meal of vegetarian dishes that draw on the exuberantly imaginative elegance of rustic Italian cuisine. You'll then sit down, dig in and enjoy the meal with a selection of natural wines hand picked and brought back from artisanal wineries in the Loire Valley...............Terresa also offers artisan food and wine tours around the historic covered market "marché Beauvau," a hop skip and a jump from Bastille. You'll visit her favorite off-the-beaten-path food boutiques where there'll be tastings a plenty! « less

My husband, ten-year-old granddaughter and I just returned from a week in Paris, where one of the highlights of our trip was a morning with Terresa. We met early at the market, shopped for organic produce, and walked together to Terresa's apartment where we cooked a delicious three-course vegetarian meal. We were able to help tailor the meal in advance... More

My husband, 13 year old daughter and I have just returned from a week in Paris where, among other things, we took a market tour and cooking class from Terresa. We learned an extraordinary amount, had fun and prepared and ate a delicious meal. Terresa is a treasure trove of information about organic food, cooking, life in Paris, etc. She... More

I can't say enought about Terresa and the experience of shopping and creating a lovely meal in her quaint Parisian apartment. I chose the full day market and cooking lesson and learned a great deal. I would recommend La Cucina di Terresa without hesitation--a very memorable day. More

My objective was to spend a week immersed in French. I couldn't find a course that was right for me but found Terresa instead (through friends). What a concept--shop for great fresh food, cook it, eat it, drink wonderful wines and speak french. Of course, the french speaking discipline broke down (Terresa is, after all, from California) but we had... More

I'm a habitant of the city of light and it was great to learn from someone who knew the ins and outs of Paris food politics. She gave me great advice on open air markets and organic stores. The other great things is all those recipes applied perfectly to me and they were great recipes. The evening was relaxed and... More

I reached several places in Paris offering cooking classes and specifically wanted one that was vegetarian oriented and Terresa's class seem to be a perfect fit. My adult son, his friend and I attended the class in early January. We thoroughly enjoyed the class. We learned some cooking techniques, lots about seasonal vegetables and how to blend flavors. When I... More

What a delightful experience! It was a real pleasure to spend an evening with Terresa who welcomed us into her home and shared with us the delights of organic vegetarian cooking. A true "gourmand" myself and fond of heavy, meat laden comfort food, I have always been hesitant to make a full meal out of vegetables only. The meal we... More
