Plum Lyon Teaching Kitchen welcomes you to come and cook with us in Lyon, France's capital of gastronomy.

Plum Lyon is your home base. It's where we gather in our fully equipped, spacious teaching kitchen for small group French culinary workshops each day, an immersive exploration into the building blocks of French and Lyonnais cuisine. 

The city of Lyon is also your classroom, with guided, educational visits each day.  The rhythm of the workshop moves naturally over the 5-days between cooking and culinary oriented expeditions into the city with your instructor, chef Lucy Vanel. With 20 years of teaching experience in Lyon, France, Lucy delivers a rendez-vous with the history and culture of La Cuisine Lyonnaise, with each experience building on the last, in the city, and in the kitchen.

Rooted in Lyon’s culinary history and culture, Plum's 5-Day Immersive French Culinary Workshop helps you both build confidence in the kitchen and discover the story, tradition and lore hidden in the beautiful city of Lyon, France’s gastronomic capital.

Our workshops are limited to 6 participants per session to allow the group discreet access to a variety of venues and fully profit from small-group cooking classes.  Join us in 2026!
