Sunday is a day of rest for many people, but there’s plenty to keep you busy in Paris, like visiting the market in Montmartre … and cooking on Sunday in Paris with a French chef .
Sunday in Paris
Starting just after 8 o’clock this morning, I walked from the hotel to a nearby metro station to catch a train to the rendezvous spot for the Paris School of Cook’n with Class. I was to watch for a man “toting a green grocery cart.” Sure enough, just in time, Anton arrived.

The Sunday market in the area near the Jules Joffrin Metro is quite different from the market days in Uzès. Here, the “stalls” are actual stores open on Sundays for shoppers. For today, though, many stores were shuttered for the presidential Election Day. Fortunately, we had a great selection of fish, meats, and vegetables that sparked our imagination and appetite.
Have you ever seen such perfect produce?
….and the meats and fish. Perfect!
After gathering the main ingredients for our menu, which we had decided upon while shopping, we headed to the Cook’n With Class school, which was nearby.
By the time we’d reached the cooking school, Chef Anton had come up with our four-course menu: pan-seared sea bass with asparagus and tomato butter; duck breast with baby vegetables and celeriac mousse; cheese and pear tart bourdalou.
Here’s where we started:
Here’s where we ended … all those lovely ingredients…and WE created this!
