A 100% hands-on cooking class
The best way to learn how to make French crepes is by making them yourself.
Throughout the workshop, you are guided step by step as you learn the techniques that produce thin, even crepes that are easy to flip.
Each technique is demonstrated before you immediately practise it yourself. You naturally build confidence, taking the time to master each movement before moving on to the next one.
Whether you cook regularly or have never used a professional crepe griddle before, this cooking class is designed to let you learn at your own pace and leave with solid practical skills.
Techniques you will learn during the class
Each stage of the workshop introduces a new technique. Every skill is explained clearly before being practised immediately, making it easy to reproduce at home after your trip to Paris.
🥛 1. Choosing the right ingredients
Great crepes begin long before they reach the griddle. The quality of the ingredients and their balance play a major role in the final result.
During the workshop, you will discover which ingredients are best for preparing authentic French crepe batter. We explain the purpose of every ingredient, the most common mistakes people make when choosing them and practical alternatives depending on what is available where you live.
You will also understand why a simple recipe made with good ingredients often produces far better results than an unnecessarily complicated one.
🥣 2. Preparing authentic French crepe batter
A successful batter is the foundation of every great crepe. Even excellent cooking techniques cannot compensate for batter that has not been prepared correctly.
During the class, you will prepare authentic French crepe batter step by step. The chef explains the correct order for adding each ingredient, how to obtain a smooth batter and why a few simple habits make the entire cooking process much easier.
You will also discover the most common mistakes, such as lumps or batter that is too thick or too thin, and learn how to avoid them from the very beginning.
The goal is not simply to follow a recipe, but to understand why every step matters, allowing you to recreate the recipe confidently once you return home.
🥞 3. Spreading the batter with a traditional rozell on a professional crepe griddle
Using a wooden rozell to spread the batter often looks impressive to beginners. However, with the right guidance and a little practice, it quickly becomes a natural movement.
During the class, you will learn how to hold the rozell correctly, how to spread the batter evenly across the hot griddle and why smooth movement is more important than speed. The chef demonstrates each step before you practise at your own pace until you produce a thin, even crepe.
You will also discover why professional crepe makers use a rozell and a commercial crepe griddle, and how this technique differs from cooking crepes in a traditional frying pan.
🔄 4. Flipping a crepe
Flipping a crepe is often the technique participants are most excited to learn. It may look impressive when watching a professional crepe maker, but it becomes much easier once you understand the correct method.
During the class, the chef shows you how to use the spatula correctly, recognise the right moment to turn the crepe and complete the movement with precision. You then practise at your own pace, with personalised advice that helps you gain confidence quickly.
The aim is not to perform a spectacular trick, but to learn a simple, effective technique that is easy to reproduce at home.
🔥 5. Mastering the cooking of a crepe
Proper cooking produces a crepe that is soft, light and gently golden. This is also the stage where observation matters more than speed.
During the workshop, you learn to recognise the different stages of cooking, understand when the crepe is ready to be turned and adapt your movement as the batter changes. You also discover how to achieve even cooking across the entire surface.
By understanding these simple visual signs, you will quickly become more confident and achieve consistent results even after the class.
📐 6. Creating simple and elegant folds
An attractive presentation makes a crepe look special, even with a very simple filling. During the class, you will learn several classic folds chosen from the 15 styles commonly used in professional food service, all of which are easy to reproduce at home.
The chef shows you how to fold a crepe neatly without tearing it or allowing the filling to spill out. You will discover different presentation styles suited to sweet crepes for a result that looks both delicious and refined.
These easy-to-master techniques will add a more elegant touch to your crepes when you prepare them for family or friends.
💡 7. Avoiding the most common mistakes
When learning alone, it is easy to repeat the same mistakes without realising it. Batter that is slightly too thick, poorly controlled cooking or an imprecise movement can make crepes much harder to prepare successfully.
During the class, the chef observes each of your movements and helps you correct small mistakes immediately, before they become habits. A few personalised tips are often enough to solve a problem and help you improve much more quickly.
This immediate feedback is one of the main advantages of a hands-on cooking class. You leave not only with a recipe, but also with the correct habits and techniques needed to make successful crepes at home.
You are ready to make your own French crepes
Throughout the workshop, you discover the techniques used by professional crepe makers and put them into practice immediately. Each movement is explained, corrected and repeated so that you can reproduce it easily once you return home.
Whether you are a complete beginner or already enjoy cooking, you will leave with a better understanding of the batter, the cooking process and the essential techniques needed to make authentic French wheat-flour crepes.
The aim is not simply to make a few successful crepes during the class, but to learn a method that you can continue using for many years.
