Ferrandi Culinary School in Paris

This is how it all started. This part is all about how I decided to leave everything in Israel and head for a year in Paris to attend one of the best culinary schools. Going to this new adventure in Paris I started documenting my day to day life in a blog which then became this website. Here you will find everything about my Parisian experience: starting a new life in Paris, learning French, Ferrandi culinary school, working as a stagiaire in restaurants in Paris, eating out and reviewing restaurants, cooking in my tiny 13 m studio, dinner parties with friends and food events in the city.
