NEW IN 2025! The Alliance Française de Canberra is bringing back French Cooking Classes with a new format: a cook-off between our teachers!

Each week, a different teacher will guide you and a small group through preparing a delicious recipe in our kitchen, following a workshop that introduces the dish and its country or region of origin. At the end of each class, students will rate the dishes, and the winning recipe will be revealed during the final class.

 Make sure to bring a container with a lid so you can take your dishes home at the end of each class!
