In their words
We recently had the pleasure of having Huguette conduct a cooking class for 6 of us and we could not have enjoyed it more. We were all invited to be as we involved as we wished and a great time was had by all. Huguette as our hostess was not only informative but most gracious and quickly became part of our group. I would highly recommend French Moods and Huguette and will not hesitate to do it again.

Huguette was exceptional. We had a great cooking class, food was delicious Coq au vin and crepes! The atmosphere was relaxed and fun . I would highly recommend Huguette for any type of event big or small, we will definitely have her back.

French Moods is the perfect way to bring together friends, family, or colleagues on a culinary journey through multiple courses. Huguette delivers not only an informative experience, but a fun one. She is professional and joy to be around. Her menu choices appeal to all tastes, and the quiche challenge brings out the chef in everyone! My family had the best time, and I know we will have more French Moods experiences in the future.

I had Huguette and French Moods put on a cooking class for 14 family members at my home. The event was a success-- surpassing all of my expectations! I was concerned about entertaining a group of various ages and interests, but Huguette was gracious and able to bring everyone together for lots of fun and laughter. Her teaching ability, flexibility and attention to detail in every way made for an evening each person adored, and one I was proud to have assembled. The recipes and food were top notch and delicious. The menu pleased even the biggest foodies of the family.
I highly recommend French Moods and Huguette for an educational and entertaining event. Host one! It's the best way to throw a party and still have fun (and no stress) like a guest.
