Cooking classes in Luxembourg for 6 years · in English or French
Love Asian food? Go beyond what you already know and set off to discover it.
Sweet, savoury, spicy or refreshing, its variety still has plenty of pleasant surprises in store. I offer several dates in Luxembourg to (re)discover it.
Each date brings a new recipe to discover and cook together, over a delicious and friendly lunch.
These cooking classes travel from Thailand to Vietnam, from Japan to China: Pad Kra Pao, Khao Soi, Phở, gyoza and many more dishes. Classes can be taught in English.

How it works
What happens during a class?
Put on your apron, take your place at your workstation… and the journey begins!
I take you through the story of the dish, the culinary traditions of the country and its signature ingredients. I also share my favourite places to find them in Luxembourg.
Then it’s time to cook! We prepare the dish together, we discover, we taste, we chat… and above all, we enjoy cooking.
And because the pleasure doesn’t stop at the stove, we then sit down at the table to enjoy what we have made.
Dessert, coffee and tea are included… and for evening classes, wine too!
Discovery, cooking, sharing and lots of good humour: that’s the recipe for a lovely time together!

Scheduled classes
Every quarter, new dates and recipes are published on this site, at lunchtime.
It’s a chance to discover Thai and, more broadly, Asian cooking, to meet new people and to share a friendly moment around an original dish, simply and in good spirits.
Because cooking is above all about sharing, meeting people and discovering.
Welcome to my world!
My name is Valérie. I come from Saint-Étienne, I’m married to Nicolas, mum to Gaspar, Louise and Anatole, and above all deeply curious about the world and its flavours!
I have been lucky enough to travel a lot, even going round the world for a year. Then, as our family adventures unfolded, we settled in Indonesia for two years, in Thailand for six years, then in South Africa for seven years. For the past seven years, Luxembourg has been my new home port. And even though I remain a Stéphanoise at heart, Paris and La Rochelle also hold a very special place in my heart.
In every new destination, one thing has always helped me build connections: cooking! It is much more than a matter of recipes. It is a wonderful reason to meet, talk, share and sometimes even break loneliness. Around a dish, barriers fall, conversations start and friendships are born.
Asian cooking holds a very special place in my heart. It is generous, surprising, full of colours, scents and character. It invites discovery, shakes us up a little and pushes us out of our comfort zone.
In Thailand, I had the pleasure of learning from a chef in Bangkok, who passed on to me the secrets of Thai street food, as well as the techniques and subtleties of more elaborate dishes.
People often ask me why I never opened my own restaurant. The answer is simple: what drives me is not cooking for you, but cooking with you!
I love passing things on, sharing my tips, introducing you to new flavours and, above all, giving you the confidence to easily recreate these recipes at home.
My greatest satisfaction? Knowing that after a class you will want to make these dishes again for your friends and family, surprise your guests and give them, in turn, a little taste of somewhere else.
So, ready to add a little zest and escape to your plates?
I can’t wait to meet you around a wok, a few spices and, above all, some lovely moments of sharing!
Valérie

FAQ
Your questions
Are the classes taught in English?
Yes, a class can be taught in English, or in English and French, depending on the group. Let me know in the comments field when you book.
Confirmation and reminder e-mails are sent in French for now.
How do I cancel my booking? Until when can I do it free of charge?
You can cancel your booking with the link provided for this, at the bottom of your confirmation e-mail, or from “My bookings” on this site.
Cancellation is free up to 48 hours before the start of the class.
If you have already paid, or would like to cancel less than 48 hours before, feel free to contact me. We will find a solution together.
For a private class, cancellation is possible up to 5 days before the class, with a refund.
For my part, if I ever had to cancel a class, you would of course be refunded in full.
The class I want is full. Can I join a waiting list?
Yes. Open the class and tap “Let me know if a place is free” to join the waiting list.
If a place becomes free more than 48 hours before the class, it is given to you automatically, in order of sign-up, and you receive the confirmation by e-mail (in French). If you can no longer make it, simply cancel with the link you received.
Closer to the class, you are told by e-mail and the place goes to the first person who books.
How can I get a printed gift voucher?
To give a class as a gift voucher, simply contact me by e-mail or WhatsApp.
I will explain how to get this printed gift voucher, carefully presented and sent directly by post. A lovely present to give!
Private classes: €50 at lunchtime or in the evening (see the options).
Is there a loyalty programme?
Of course! Because your loyalty deserves a reward, after eight classes, the ninth one is free. A great way to keep enjoying cooking together!
Your card is now kept automatically, with nothing to carry or show: every class attended with the same e-mail address or phone number counts, whatever the number of people booked. When you book after your eighth class, one place is free, automatically.
You can see where you stand in “My bookings” on this site. Classes already stamped on your paper card are carried over.
Who are the classes for?
Everyone, without exception!
Whether you are a beginner, a keen amateur or a more experienced cook, the classes are open to all levels. What matters is wanting to discover, to learn and above all to have a good time in the kitchen.
