Promenades Gourmandes

As springtime approaches, recreational cooking school, Promenades Gourmandes and its founder Paule Caillat, have announced a new roster of activities to entice culinary enthusiasts looking for a taste of French cuisine and culture during the upcoming tourist season in Paris. Also announced was the addition of business partner, Aude Barbera, a 30-year-old native Parisian and trained chef, with vast private chef and restaurant experience.

Promenades Gourmandes’ new offerings, many inspired by the Caillat-Barbera team’s unique expertise and vast industry relationships, include intimate dinners in a true Parisian home for up to 10 individuals; revamped markets tours featuring new purveyors such as Terroirs d’Avenir; special events and hands-on master classes with acclaimed chefs including Daniel Rose (Spring); and gourmet walks with itineraries that showcase some of Paris’ best and unique purveyors such as Olivier Roellinger.

Born and raised in Paris, Aude Barbera started her career in London, like many French people of her generation. It was not in food, although the passion had always been there. Four years ago, Aude moved to Cape Town, South Africa and shortly after quit her technology job to study at a Cooking Academy. Back in Paris permanently, she has joined forces with Paule Caillat as a full time partner at Promenades Gourmandes. In addition to sharing cooking class, market tours and gourmet walk responsibilities, Aude’s focus at Promenades Gourmandes will be to enhance the patisserie training program, launch a dinner series and work with a new generation of chef talent for a special event master class series.
