We teach the art of French cuisine to the modern home cook

Going out to a restaurant is great but the richest connections happen over a home cooked meal. But cooking for family and friends is intimidating and it can be frustrating to figure out where to start. Our courses make learning to cook French food easy and fun and will transform you into the true chef of your kitchen.

Just like being in a culinary school

Our courses are based on the classic cooking skills taught in French culinary schools and the time honored techniques developed by the fathers of French cuisine. Our courses are practical and 'hands-on' by design. This means you will practice cooking as you learn, just like you would in a culinary school (without the travel and the big fees).

Why French cuisine?

French cuisine is a cultural experience that melds flavorful foods with beauty, leisure, and therapeutic preparation. It's both an art and a lifelong passion. You will never stop learning. You will never run out of recipes. You will never stop delighting yourself with a new technique and you will never stop delighting your loved ones with beautiful dishes you create.

Keeping things simple

We bust the myth that making great French food is only for the professionals or that it should be intimidating. Our techniques and recipes are precise, easy to follow and always relevant for you, the home cook. With a mix of theory, cooking demonstrations and recipe challenges you'll be engaged and motivated until the end of each course.

Are you ready to cook like a chef in your kitchen?

The French Cooking Academy online culinary school is brand new and our first course "Get Started with French Cooking" will launch soon. Unique and exciting courses will be added to the school over time to both build and challenge your techniques and skills. Our mission is to make learning French cooking easy and unleash your inner French chef.

Is there anything better than a delicious home-cooked meal?

Creating a well prepared home-cooked meal for your favorite people can be one of the most rewarding things you can do.

The French Cooking Academy online culinary school makes it easy for passionate home cooks to bring the same techniques and dishes taught by the masters of French cuisine, into their home.


"When I found your channel I realised immediately that I had discovered something that would change my life. I started studying your sauce videos and worked my way through dishes you showed us how to make. I'm proud to say I have cooked many of the dishes and my friends, family and girlfriend have left my kitchen with their stomach full and a smile on their face!"

- Slava Sheynin, New Zealand

"What I appreciate about French Cooking Academy is how Stephane lays out and displays the mise en place making the work flow process seamless and easy to follow. The second thing I love is how he uses everyday home cooking tools to make meals; no need to run to Williams-Sonoma to pick up say, an expensive chinois! Many Thanks Stephane!"

- Bernie M, California

"Last year for the holidays and trying to impress my son's guests I made the lemon sole with butter veloute. Not only was it very easy but totally delicious. I made the recipe following Stephen's step-by-step guide on his You Tube channel. One young man told me "I don't eat fish". Well the guest heard him and everyone told him he needed to try this plate. As he took his first bite the look on his face said it all. Need I say more, he devoured everything!"
