Cooking Classes in Provence, one of the region’s most loved culinary experiences, has announced an exciting new addition to its offering—an intimate cooking class based in the historic heart of Aix-en-Provence. This expansion allows travellers with a passion for food to experience Provençal cooking in a more urban yet equally authentic setting, combining hands-on learning with the rich cultural backdrop of one of southern France’s most celebrated towns.

The new Aix-en-Provence class is designed for small groups seeking a more personalised and immersive experience. With limited spots per session, each participant receives individual attention and a closer connection to the chef and their surroundings. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned culinary explorer, this new class promises an engaging way to discover the region’s food traditions.

Aix-en-Provence, with its elegant streets, bustling markets, and colourful character, provides the perfect setting for a hands-on culinary adventure. The class takes advantage of the town’s renowned food markets and lively local atmosphere, offering a unique blend of tradition and sophistication. It’s a setting that has inspired artists, writers, and now, food lovers from around the world.

As with all classes offered by Cooking Classes in Provence, the new Aix-en-Provence experience begins with a guided market tour. Guests are introduced to local producers and ingredients, from fragrant herbs and sun-ripened vegetables to handmade cheeses and olives. The market experience is as educational as it is sensory, encouraging participants to understand how seasonality and locality influence the food of Provence.
After gathering fresh ingredients, guests head to a nearby kitchen space to begin cooking. Set in a traditional Provençal home or a charming studio tucked away in the old town, the setting is both intimate and inspiring. The class covers a complete menu, typically including a starter, main course, and dessert—all inspired by the season and rooted in local culinary traditions.

A spokesperson for Cooking Classes in Provence expressed enthusiasm about the expansion: “We’ve always had a deep connection to the countryside and rural kitchens, but Aix-en-Provence offers something equally special. This class brings people right into the vibrant heart of the town, where culture, food, and history come together beautifully. We’re excited to share this new experience with culinary travellers from across the world.”
The recipes taught in the class vary depending on the time of year, reflecting the company’s commitment to seasonal cooking. From spring asparagus with lemon vinaigrette to slow-cooked Provençal stews in winter, each dish is a celebration of the flavours that define the region.

Guests can also expect expert guidance on plating, seasoning, and balancing flavours—skills that can be taken home and used in everyday cooking. More than just a lesson, the class offers stories, tips, and insights into the culinary heritage of Provence, turning the experience into a cultural exploration.

Wine is also an important element of the Aix-en-Provence class. Participants are introduced to local wines that pair perfectly with the dishes being prepared. These tastings are woven into the experience naturally, helping to elevate the meal and offer a fuller understanding of Provençal food and drink.

Cooking Classes in Provence has long been praised for its warm hospitality and passion for food education. The new class in Aix-en-Provence builds on this foundation by offering something both fresh and familiar—a city-based experience that maintains the company’s core values of simplicity, quality, and authenticity.

Since its inception, the company has welcomed guests from all over the globe, many of whom return for repeat visits and new experiences. With this new class, the team hopes to attract even more curious travellers who are eager to roll up their sleeves, discover new flavours, and connect with the local culture.

The expansion also reflects a growing interest in meaningful travel experiences that go beyond sightseeing. Cooking Classes in Provence continues to offer exactly that—rich, rewarding encounters with the food, people, and traditions that make Provence such a beloved destination.

As bookings open for the new Aix-en-Provence class, early interest has already shown strong demand from travellers seeking smaller, more personal experiences. With this latest addition, Cooking Classes in Provence reinforces its reputation as a leader in authentic, hands-on culinary tourism in the south of France.
