What students are saying...

  • The accesible communication style in combination with a high level of cooking standards struck me when I came across the French Cooking Academy on YouTube. Entering the French Bistro Charcuterie Course has changed my life as a chef and took my cooking skills to a next level. I'm a happy student learning a lot and having great fun. I highly recommend to join too.

  • I am an American who loves French art, culture, and especially cuisine! I’ve always loved all the pates that I have when I’m in Paris. I never in my wild dreams imagined that I could actualy learn how to make Pate from Paris in my own kitchen. But thanks to Stephane’s French cooking academy I now am enjoying making my own French pate at home. Stephane is passionate about teaching the art of French cuisine. What’s so great about his cooking program is that he’s keeps the tradition of a genuinely French cuisine yet makes it so that it really is accessible for all of us. If I can learn it, you can too!!!

Is BISTRO CHARCUTERIE FOR BEGINNERS right for me?  

  • This is the perfect course for the home cook who understands the basic techniques of French cooking as well as newcomers to French cooking. The course explains charcuterie techniques and recipes in a simple way that makes it easy for anyone to follow.

  • While the recipes in this course use a range of meat cuts, the majority incorporate pork product as a primary ingredient. If you don't consume pork, whatever the reason, we don't recommend this course for you.

  • No. This is a course that teaches unique content not covered in any of our other courses. In fact, it's difficult to find online content that teaches authentic French charcuterie techniques anywhere online.

  • The great news is that you should already have most of what you will need to make delicious bistro charcuterie. Things like knives, chopping boards, crockery, pots and pans are staple utensils in the home kitchen. However, there are a few necessary items that you may need to source if you do not already have them in your kitchen. Things like a terrine dish, a pâté en croute mould and food thermometer with a probe. There is a list of specific equipment required to make bistro charcuterie included in the course.

  • This course is completely self-paced so you can take as long as you like. 

  • Of course! If you find that the course is not for you within 14 days of purchase, just let us know via email and we will give you a full refund, no questions asked.
