“Calling La Cuisine Paris sexy and exotic feels as wrong as if you described a grandmother that way.” Uh. What? Tell Sigourney Weaver that in Call My Agent. She is how grandmothers look and feel in 2021! Otherwise great interview.
David THANK YOU for sharing me (and La Cuisine Paris) with your readers. We have been so lucky to have so many wonderful folks visit us. Truly, it is our wonderful clients that make the experience. It's a privilege to be able to share the 'behind the scenes' to how we operate. Thank you again! I hope it is an interesting read for all - and I cannot wait to have all of our extended family back here in Paris with us once again!
Thank you for such an interesting interview. I attended classes at La Cuisine in 2015 and 2016. They are still some of my fondest experiences and memories of Paris. The sauce and wine & cheese pairing classes were especially fun. It’s also taken me nearly 6 years now to make macarons almost perfectly. I say almost because they still come out hollow sometimes. I look forward to traveling to Paris again so that I can take another cooking class.
What a superb interview, David! You have a generosity of spirit that permeates your writing. I've taken a few classes at La Cuisine and very much feel a part of the community Jane speaks of. It was the first cooking school in Paris that I wanted to return to. I don't know if I ever saw Jane there but I feel I have gotten to know her since the world ground to a halt a year ago. She has pivoted repeatedly and the result has made her more visible and IMO strengthened that sense of community she strives for. Like you, she has fed our Paris hunger on Instagram by showing markets, POV and especially Lives. You're both treasures.
This format is a terrific addition to to your offerings. I signed up for Jane’s newsletters and look forward to taking several of her classes when we can travel again! Thanks so much!
It's always interesting to learn about cultural differences between the French and the Americans, and the Ex-Pats in Paris too. I plan on visiting Paris when the lockdown is over and would love to book a class at La Cusine. As always, Merci David!!
Interesting interview! I took a *great* market cooking class w/La Cuisine in 2018. I will admit that I was slightly disappointed at first -- Marché Maubert is not the biggest or most picturesque, and our guide/chef was a fellow American. I couldn't have been more wrong -- as we visited each vendor, it was an education in French culture and seasonal eating. Our chef -- who put together the menu as we shopped -- had lived in France a long time, had a French spouse, and was a great teacher. I'd recommend a La Cuisine class to anyone visiting Paris.
My first experience with Jane was her excellent Customerservice with a warm attitude. I took several classes and was very happy and content but it took me awhile to actually do it with success. Very nice atmosphere with all the instructions.
Loved every bit of this interview - David this is well done and you are incredibly generous!! Jane appears to be incredibly smart and a very good business person! I looked at her website and plan to support her school and classes. Thanks for sharing!!

How I love living vicariously through you and yours! Thank you.
I may have worked with Jane in my days writing about the automobile industry. How interesting to read about her career pivot!
Thanks! Wonderful interview.
